I got the email, and I didn't take the "duration" as how long they wanted me to spend on it. I took it as more of a "When you start this, you should be done in X days because we want it by then."
Should I have read it differently?
- spne 15y agoI agree that this is confusing. Maybe two different fields: 1) estimate of how long this will take 2) deadline I can see many projects that are just a day or two of work, but where the company doesn't need it for a week.
- kylebragger 15y agoI think that's an interesting idea. I agree that it's probably a bit confusing/off-putting as it stands now.
- kylebragger 15y agoI think that's kind of what I was getting at too. Perhaps duration is the wrong word -- might experiment with deadline/due by or similar.
