Then get another job. We don&#x27;t owe you your line of work.<p>If you literally can&#x27;t compete with volunteers maybe you should see what they says about your niche and then find a new one.<p>Once when replacing a server (and fixing the wiring, etc, etc) I also replaced a router and dual-homed the company&#x27;s site as a freebie because it made my job easier (the new router had diagnostics, managed-switch features, etc). It was a line-item I could have billed for separately, or it was a new level of service.<p>By the &quot;save the work for the guy feeding the starving children&quot; philosophy we should nickel-and-dime our clients instead of providing our true value. I don&#x27;t like that.
