Assuming that you're an adult earning the minimum wage, you're on £6.08/hour - which is as much as to say that it takes you (0.0075/6.08)x3600 seconds - so 4.44 seconds - to earn three-quarters of a penny. It takes less time if you're on more than the NMW.
I reckon it takes about 20 seconds to read that post - which means that you'd've been able to earn three quarters of a penny about 4 times. If anyone should be concerned about a waste of earnings, it's your employer.

My school arithmetic days passed a loooooooooooooooong time ago; I was worried that I'd made some silly error in the calculation.
