Yesterday I told my boss that the task she was asking me was a four hour task and that's going to push back on another deliverable
She said it would take 30 minutes.
3.5 working hours later here I am finishing.

I know the expectation of salaried work is round the clock, get everything done, but that's unreasonable.

So I'm curious when everyone level sets expectation and how.
