- zepolen 8y agoSo you weren't productive during that entire time?
- quickben 8y agoSo you are telling me you never qualified at a workplace with longer than a month probation period? Do you see how that putting-words-in-others-mouths looks? It's rude and does not contribute too any kind of productive discussion.
- zepolen 8y agoYes I have. I've always qualified, in both short and long probation periods. I find it rude you didn't answer the question and instead attacked me personally. Terrible.
- Rumudiez 8y agoSad! Terrible, really. So terrible. You wouldn't believe it. Just terrible.
- ModernMech 8y agoI'm wondering if you find it ironic that you feel attacked in a thread you started with an attack on me?
- tybit 8y agoThere’s a reason people refer to it as “ramping up”, as you become familiar with the environment and code base you become more and more productive until more or less plateauing a while later. It’s not really useful to categorise it as binary productive or not productive.
- TylerE 8y agoNine months is insulting unless you guarantee me a VERY generous severance if things don't work out.
