that’s my point, it ain’t ten minutes of pushing buttons. It’ll take me 30 min at least.. and that’s no curveballs. Add in one or two complexities, and that rapidly edges towards a full hour.
Whether or not we get paid for it is a separate debate, either in our hourly rates like Betty Crocker says, or maybe added in by some formula such as door pay that the FA group already has established. I am ok either way. If it’s given without much fuss, hell no one ever says no to more money. If it come with a price tag, well then that’s maybe not worth the squeeze.
