I'm an environmental consultiant that has to bill all hours. Basically, I was told I had 18-20 hrs to do a project. Now that I've been here for a few months I was brought down to 16-20 hrs without any warning or notice. My job is hybrid with most of my time WFH and some time doing field work.
I've been able to get all of my projects done early and rarely work over 8 hrs. But I still bill for the full hours that are anticipated for the project for the sake of work life balance.
I billed “too many hours” as mention by my boss for a project that includes two different reports. I billed 6 hours, plus a meeting included in that so really 5 hours for both reports, which trickles down to 2.5 hrs per report which I feel is acceptable time.
Is he catching on that don't work full 8 hours? Can I get in trouble for not billing my hours the way he wants? Thoughts and advice?
