Work/Ethics question by evilsysadmin 2005-03-22 08:27:45
At your work you bill by the hour for jobs you do.
You have job 1 going that involves a complete reinstall and format of a drive. It is an older computer and the format of the drive is taking about 45min.
The second job is writing an applet for the website you are working on. You work on this applet while the drive is formatting and software is installing.
Question: Do you double bill the time. Technically you are doing 2 jobs at once. Even though 1 job is to watch the screen and hit a button occasionally.
