Ellie got pay around 189.50 per hour as mentioned in "Revealing Pay rates at work" episode, assuming she works 8 hours a day, 22 days a month, and because "The Girl" episode was released 6 years ago, assuming that is how long she had been working at PlayTech, and she got Payraise in 5 years ago, that means Ellie got paid about 2 million, she is a major reason why Rowan is without momey~ 😂

That's a great character for Britt. I'm glad to see her join Bored. This was terrific. My husband is really happy. He loves all the content but he particularly loves Bored. He runs his own home audio/theater business that he bought after working there for 25 years, he started in shipping receiving and worked his way up to manager (he was a very different manager then Rowan 😂) . I think he relates, although it's a very different type of business having always been a small local place and these days he sells a lot of vintage gear. Anyway he said "I'm so happy Bored is back". He's not the world's biggest tv guy so that's high praise.
