$EMPLOYER: schedules a paid online meeting.

Me: Yes, I'll be there. Two hours? Yes.

$EMPLOYER, on meeting day: We're cutting the time to one hour and hosting it on $EXTERNAL_PLATFORM

Me: Yes, I guess, but I was really looking forward to the full amount. It wouldn't pay any bills, but it would surely help with buying some #yogurt / #yoghurt and some decaf #coffee.
