Tobyvw6987yHalf a day? I'd suggest a little higher, because of course, you have the idiot-interest added to it.

Meta33347yThat's what I keep telling my boss;
charge extra for iditots.
And we have a bunch of those ... -
Only half a day? Looks like serious recovery time retrieving those records.
If it wasn't so serious, why would there be a confirmation dialog?
At least two days work I'd say. -
Like those alert dialogs, might use them as well
and I'd never expect a client to listen to me, people tend to be like: Hey I know what I want don't you tell me what to do (arrogance!)
then when they fuck up they beg for mercy ...

Okay, so I'm in rage mode right now :/
Last week a client of mine absolutely insisted on removing the "irritating delete popups" as they phrased it, against my advice.
In short, when deleting a record, I had a sexy "swal" confirmation appear (see https://limonte.github.io/sweetaler...) with some key data from the record, that prompted the user to confirm the action.
The client has now emailed me with the subject "URGENT, please read ASAP!!!". The email says his staff has deleted lots of records incorrectly.
*** face palm ***.
This is EXACTLY why we include delete confirmation prompts.
As I've used Laravel with soft deletes (luckily for my client) it shouldn't be a huge issue to reverse around 400 deleted records. However, I'm charging my client for half a days work out of principal.
Perfect example of my client not listening to me :(
