People. Are. Paid. By. The. Hour.

None of your budget statements are relevant, in any way. You can throw in whatever technical terms you want, they aren't relevant.

Wardrobe is budgeted by the amount of people using it, less people using it = less budget, is simple math so difficult to understand?

You are speaking like an accountant that's never set foot on a set before, and your technical terms are entirely financial.

my dude, you can't pay people by the hour without having a budget first.

You have a fundamental lack of understanding about how money works.

uno reversi.

I was the artistic director of a touring company for over a decade, I've been an actor, writer and extra for film, TV and commercials, and an actor, writer, director, producer, musician and comic in live performance. My first professional gig was at 12 years old.

I have given you a whole mess of examples and explanations and all youve given is "no u."

How you going to pay people hourly if you don't budget for them? Pay them hourly from what? Which funding stream? Which budget? Which department?
