I hate hearing people say that it shouldn't take you that long. As if they know how long it takes to do your job.

Easy fix or change my ass!

This falls under Hofstadter's Law

It is difficult to estimate the time to complete complex tasks given despite all best efforts

Quote it to your boss / client next time

Haven't heard that one before, thanks!

My boss likes to use, "oh this will take you 5 minutes". Fuck off.

@fsty So does mine - he starts swearing and contacting me over all platforms (DM, IM, etc) for non-essential updates which are running on schedule

I can't call HR or management because I'm a freelancer who can't be employed (<18)

It s because they want you to do crap.
And then they will complain future devs will take more time...
Stupity in motion!

@MacVince Yup! All it took was one whole nighter and he expects me to pull that shit for every issue

@virtual-reality
Once i was heading to a burnout because of these kind of things.
We have to be careful
