It&#x27;s really frustrating when people are clearly talking around each other, and either failing to notice or willfully continuing to do it.<p>sillysaurus3: &quot;Spend a couple hours remotely fixing some bugs and adding a feature on a fake iOS app&quot;<p>ammon: &quot;A failed work trial burns an entire week of vacation.&quot;<p>You&#x27;re not talking about the same thing!<p>sillysaurus3 is talking about doing a small amount of work that is similar to what the company does, under conditions similar to those you would have as an employee.
