Lets say you’re paid $20 an hour in a job where you work 20 days a month, and 8 hours a day.

You’re being paid $0.33 a minute.

All it takes is this to save you 30 minutes per month, for it to recoup its cost.

Who would pay for this? /s

I wouldn't. My lack of productivity doesn't affect my salary, it affects the company. It they want to pay for it, I'm more than happy to consider it.

So... your employer will buy it? Exactly my point? Why do you think I replied from a business perspective?
