Oh, to be able to charge by the hour would be such bliss as a lawyer. We charge by 0,1 hours: every 6 minutes need to be accounted for.

- czbond 4y agoI've always thought that was weird. What is the underlying reason do you think? I get 6 minute phone calls, but to then pivot to another 6 minute+ task is too granular
- zemptime 4y agoSuspect 6 minutes being increment has more to do with being 1/10 of an hour (easy to calculate rate) & and as fine-grained as you can get without being so obnoxious you can't track.
- jliptzin 4y agoI love getting charged $75 for emails that just say “OK”
- brk 4y agoI do consulting, but not as a developer, more business growth/strategy. I tell all my clients, you are not paying for my time spent on a specific task, you are paying for access to my 25+ years of experience, learnings, and contacts. An email that just says "OK" might be the net result of a set of experiences and knowledge that would take the client 2 weeks and $2,000 to obtain on their own. $75 would therefore be a bargain.

- VoodooJuJu 4y agoI too delude myself into believing an "OK" from me is worth $75.
- Mandatum 4y agoYou obviously haven't been the decision maker for anything remotely important.
- VoodooJuJu 4y agoKeep fooling yourself.
- tagersenim 4y agoYou’re underselling it. You’ll get a message saying: “OK” THE CONTENT OF THIS EMAIL IS CONFIDENTIAL AND INTENDED FOR THE RECIPIENT SPECIFIED IN MESSAGE ONLY. IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN…
