<p>A question for native speakers of <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/English" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>English</span></a>:</p><p>In German, when estimating (or charging for) the time a certain business project takes, we often use the units &quot;Personenstunde&quot; (PS, &quot;person hour&quot;) and especially &quot;Personentag&quot; (PT, &quot;person day&quot;). This differs from calendar days in that you can do 5 PT of work in one day if five people are working on it.</p><p>Is there an equivalent term in English? Does it have an acronym? Is the gendered &quot;man-day&quot; still the default?</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/business" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>business</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AskFedi</span></a></p>
