Here's what my invoice looks like for today
0.5hr chats, code reviews, time-audit
1.25hr Bug#12345
...
So I have captured the ~15 minutes I spent itemizing/cleaning up my invoice for the past day or two in a "time-audit"/misc line item.
"very thorough with my itemization" implying you'll just over bill your customer because they have the nerve to have you professionally account for your time ?
"tipped the balance of power from the money men to the workers"
Right so if they weren't operating with integrity that doesn't mean the worker shouldn't either. Tit-fot-tat might be an optimal game theory but better to optimize for a clear conscience.
Note, I realize I am being unfair to your comment. When my customer first asked me to itemize my invoice it was an annoyance, but now I am efficient at it and see it as win-win. I just keep adding to it in real time as I work through out the day and then do a periodic clean up and aggregation.
