Pretty true - unfortunately.

Do you think there could be a solution? (Other than just telling them upfront :P)

Ask them to sit with you for a day and watch you grind. They will soon work out how long stuff takes.

Yes, this exists in any company without exception.

I'm thinking that a 'Dream Job' can be found in a company that understands this kind of thing.
