Yeah it's why at later jobs I advocate for complexity points and don't do consulting anymore.

Tying money to hours spent on a task just encourages all the wrong behavior.

I just don't work at places that do time tracking like that anymore.

My favorite was getting reamed because you put 30 minutes over the estimated hours on a task.

It made task accounting a nightmare as you'd have to dump hours onto unrelated task whenever something inevitably took longer than expected.

Waterfall is missing the part where the customer realizes they didn't actually want to go to Mars they just wanted to view it out of a telescope.

But now they can only travel to Mars and the telescope is out of the budget because you spent so much money on the rocket
