Clients hate this shit. Real heads know to always randomize a number 1-9 to put in the last digit, so it looks like you actually put in time from a clock rather than rounding to the nearest mark.

My agreement with at least one of my client is that I round up to the next 15 minutes. They know to expect fairly round numbers.

At my 9-5, our time keeping software doesn't even let you put in anything smaller than a quarter hour.

I had multiple clients yell at us for this, back when I worked in a contracting job. It was infuriating that we had to play these stupid games.

I have great clients tbf, I acquired them through my past 9-5s so I knew what I was getting into beforehand
