> I have a friend who works for the IRS. They basically can't spend more than a minute per client. Its basically "okay cool" move on. They gotta do like 40 cases a day.

A minute per case sounds stressful, but I suppose if they get a 40 minute workday it's a pretty good trade-off.

8 hours a day, that's 12 minutes a case. They also need to hang up as quickly as possible on their calls.

Yeah, if your case is remotely complex, they're fucked. The reality is that bad management is a direct cause of these issues.

In any case, the challenge is is the risk worth it. And at some income levels, yeah.
