I don't need to justify anything, just try in my own little way to change the "work hour" mentality to a "work accomplishment" mentality.

I don't care if my staff only works 2 hours a day as long as they get their work done. It's my job as a manager to set expectations and if I set them too low, well, it falls back on me and a discussion I'll be having with my boss at some point.
