- teitoklien 3y agoIts not a madeup number, if his hourly rate is genuinely high, then its perfectly valid. Time is money, and government isn’t supposed to get any discount coupon on it.
- jFriedensreich 3y agoI did not make up anything. it was nearly 100h (so i did not even use a high hourly rate for estimating) of work for me, took ~2 years and the pure cash cost was nearly 10k. i think its really fair to simplify this as saying it cost 15k. I am really fed up by people downplaying the cost of labour imposed by ruthless beurocrats and i think its toxic to banalize this.
- izacus 3y agoThat's not how things work, you can't just make up some hourly rate and then bloviate about it like it's an actual cost. Yes, time spent is a problem, but then communicate it in form of TIME SPENT, not just inflate the costs into some arbitrary number so you can make it sound worse while whining. It's dishonest.
