Does anybody ever get fired for charging too many hours on a client if it really took them that long?

Not your place to eat the hours.

No. It's so you don't get screwed over next year when going off of actual hours to create next year's budget. Do yourself a favor and charge the hours you worked and work the hours you charged

You should charge your hours. If it really took you that long then you need to report it as an ethical thing.

The first step is understanding the budget that was set up for the tasks you are asked to do. If it says 5 but you need 10, you need to tell your manager that you need the extra time. Always charge your hours, just make sure you communicate when you think you might go over. Like the prior posts said, it will only help you out in the future.

Do you think it is time to find another job when your PIC is a micro manager, never trained you when you got hired, expects you to know things no one ever told you about in the first place, texts and calls you in the morning with questions you don’t have an answer to (I work evening shift so I’m mostly sleep when he reaches out), assumes the worst about everything, plots against you anyway, lies all the time, they don’t even do their job, they leave their trash behind etc. gives me anxiety.
