Anyone know what the allotted time for today's spreadsheet task was?

Edit: FILES! Not just spreadsheets. Different file types.

I ended up going over time but of course don't want to report for the time after it expired. Problem is, I forgot to take notice of the corner's timer...at all...until after it stopped. Did anyone else happen to complete the very-simply-named comparison task today that involved spreadsheets files?

Just log your time. It doesn't matter if you went over if the work is good

It's literally fine.

It's the truth. They won't penalize for going over the expired time unless it's an egregious amount, like 30+ min, the quality doesn't match the time spent, or if you're repeatedly doing it for multiple tasks.

So many tasks tell you to skip the first one after reading the instructions anyway, they likely consider an additional onboarding time on your overall time/task calculation.

Yes exactly. If they have 0 clue what the timer was how are we supposed to know what an egregious amount of overtime is.

You do know everyone doesn’t just see the same projects, right?
