You joke, but you're just describing contractors
Kinda, but usually you're sorta expected to put in your best effort for every billed hour regardless.
Instead of laying things out like this, what you can do is bill more hours (within reason) per hour worked to customers who pay less per hour. Gotta be careful with that though.
I worked as a consultant for years and yeah, exactly this, and more! One thing knowledge-based consultants do is reuse old work but bill clients for a flat rate instead of hourly. It's less than paying for new work, but usually much more than the hourly cost if they were billed for just the time required to update the material.
I recycled old work constantly. For a well-paying, reasonable client, I'd sometimes only bill for the time required to update the work and comp the rest as a gift. Last minute, minor updates were free within reason.
Penny pinching, uncooperative clients paid full price and I'd bill the rush rate to the minute for last minute updates. On average, great clients paid less for work than the ones trying to strangle a deal out of me.
Naturally. But we don't tell our clients that :)
That's a very dangerous game, especially compared to just finding a higher paying single job.
