Do I not understand the expected POI task or is 2 minutes or 100 seconds an insanely low amount of time for the work that is often involved?

I don't know why you continue to downvote, I'm entitled to my own opinion and I am not talking about the third World countries which I know is an entirely different beast in terms of complexity and nonexistent information and I feel poor for the task they get, and the salary they are paid, but I am talking about the European market and probably also the north American one. You are right, it's not a requirement nor am I personally doing anything coding for the job, but in the European market I'm doing it's for sure possible to do the tasks in under a minute with the proper workflow, tools and setup.

It's not a necessity but I invested in a proper setup years ago for optimizing my speed. The job is paid per task but limited by the 20 hour marker (20 hours actually worked not total eta), so the limiter is how fast you work each task, they job can go from a Mcdonald salary here to above a consultant hourly salary if you are capable of maintaining high speeds. Which is why I refer to my own market and say that while it seems hard to do a proper research it is indeed possible, but I know plenty of people (working in IT) who struggle even using ctrl-c/ctrl-v who are doing this job and every single click you make that is unnecessary is taking money away from you, hence my above comments on workflow.

If you look at Telus's own material and video guidelines, they present a workflow of unnecessary steps which just means if you follow these, you will take a longer time to finish the task and thus hurting your speed and potential income, no matter which locale you are in. I just wanted to offer feedback on said workflow and give advice on what could be improved upon, but instead, I'm being downvoted. So I guess my knowledge is not needed or wanted here.
