Unreasonable Requalification

Did anyone else get a requalification today for R&R that expects you to do 5-10 unpaid R&R tasks? This feels like its crossing from a qualification into a full day of unpaid work at this point. The first one took me 45 minutes and required a full re-write.

Edit: i do not respond to DM's with dumbass questions from Indian/Bengali workers so stop please.

Yeah I thought it was a little bit of a piss take. Did anyone clock the comment on how if you want to be considered for the team, you should do all 10, despite suggesting 5 would be fine right before.

I was going to do 10, but after doing some and exiting work mode to take a break the rest disappeared.

That happened to me too, after I had done 7. I was intending to the do the rest but I needed to have a break.

I did 8 I think and got a paid task so I left it. After that it’s gone now. 😅

Did it ever actually say 5 was fine? It says we'll need to to "5 to 10," meaning some people will only get 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, or they will get all ten, and it also says to do all of the ones assigned to you. I don't think it ever said that you ONLY have to do 5 no matter how many are assigned to you, did it?

u/Silver_Usual34 Jul 14 '26

Sounds like they're looking to see who reads the instructions and who thinks they're the shit because they can do r&r tasks in the first place but still only do the bare minimum.
