I’d love to hire people that can work 900 hours in a single month. Just tell me where to find them. Or, wait, maybe they work in higher dimensions. Drat.

What you can work and what you can bill are two different things. I know of a few people that charge their rate from the minute they leave on a trip which is basically the min they put down their phone after accepting the contract to the minute they get back. However, they are all doing emergency, the company is losing tens of thousands per hour on the low end until this is fixed, kind of things.

In practice it’s equivalent to charging a higher hourly rate, but it makes billing simpler for these kinds of contracts.

Where are you getting this "single month" stuff?
The person they're replying to who said "one month".

One is singular.

I didn't say that, though.
They weren't replying to you, they were replying to neurocline.
then they should have replied directly to neurocline, who didn't say anything about 900 hours.
Sorry, that was neurocline responding directly to vasco. Either way, they weren't responding directly to you.

vasco was the one responding to you.
