In tech, I'd have to get clients to sign change orders for a similarly ridiculous markup. The worst part was that I had 40+ hours of shit to do to begin with and I was supposed to just squeeze the agreed-upon hours into my schedule somehow; not the company's problem.
My first "real job" out of uni had an hourly charge rate for my labor. It was over 10 times my hourly wage.
Terrible job, great way to learn about the alienation of surplus value.
