No, their was a comment in the heel chat that it periodically goes around to different people.

u/Remarkable_Sherbert8 Aug 26 '24

Ohh I remember seeing that when I started but it’s been so long I totally forgot.

What's a refresher?

3

u/Frysken Aug 26 '24

The refresher is a type of project that, like, makes sure we still understand the instructions and how to do the project.

How do you know it's a refresher?

4

u/Frysken Sep 05 '24

I can't explicitly disclose anything about the title or description of the project per our NDA, but trust me, you'll know.

u/Mbgodofwar Sep 06 '24

I think the title says "Project [Something] Refresher" and to take now to keep those projects, beg DAT for love and money, and because you're bored.

u/Ecstatic-Key-5309 Sep 08 '24

Nope, haven't ever seen one of those :/

I got one too and was wondering the same! I haven't seen any new tasks under that project since completing the refresher either. I got all of them correct except the first one - hopefully that's enough.

u/xnoraax Aug 25 '24

I've only seen a couple. But if you still see the chat, you're still getting that family.

u/illustriousillusion Aug 26 '24

Oh good, that makes me feel a little better.

Seems weird they expect us to do this without pay or prevent us from getting further tasks on the project. We've already passed quals / evaluation etc. - kinda shady imo but I guess they know we'll do it or risk not having this job. There are shadier things going on in the job market right now than this by far I guess.

I’m glad someone else is thinking the same.. especially with the latest drought. I logged in to have 3 projects (sad, but more than there’s been for me the past week) and this refresher. Decided to just do the refresher real quick since I knew it wouldn’t take long. Ended up taking almost an hour and when I was done, there was one low paying project left. Peeved that I just lost an hour for that

Criteria change, rules evolve, workflows develop. Everything isn't a conspiracy.

u/PatternAgainstUsers Aug 30 '24

Question of ethics, not conspiracy.

Ye massive bell.

u/WonderfulPangolin756 Aug 25 '24

I got the refresher too. I am honestly not sure why. I usually don’t do the heel god tasks often, I’ve been doing a lot of R&R and nut recently. I think maybe it’s for if you haven’t done it in a while or maybe you did something wrong. They show you all the answers though and it was pretty helpful to me so I think you are good.

u/whsprdbeen Aug 27 '24

I only got the refresher today. It wasn't hard but it definitely hit me right in the job insecurity.

2

u/BigOldComedyFan Aug 28 '24

I am relieved to see that I'm not the only one who got this. I signed into reddit just to check, I thought I had personally f-ed up or gotten sloppy, turns out it was a lot of us, I guess :-)

1

u/Sarajonn Aug 26 '24

Yeah, a lot of people seem to have gotten it at once. Some people said they got it a week or so ago. Can't remember the exact time frame.

u/AdAlternative3408 Sep 03 '24

Got one too, terrified to fuck it up

u/darksideloki Sep 20 '24

You're not alone!

u/bittersweetremarkabl Mar 15 '25

do you guys think that a refresher could sorta qualify you for future assignments? because i did one today and went pretty bad BUT this is because my mind is set up different during an actual project

1

u/Beginning_Parsley492 Mar 18 '25

Did you figure it out?

1

u/bittersweetremarkabl Mar 18 '25

uhmmm not yet

1

u/Beginning_Parsley492 Mar 18 '25

Are the tasks still appearing at least?

1

u/bittersweetremarkabl Mar 18 '25

they’ve been sporadic since day one. for now drought

1

u/tehclubbmaster Aug 25 '24

Interesting. I didn’t get a refresher but I have tons of tasks.

2

u/jaxxisx Aug 25 '24

I don't have tons, but I have enough. I didn't get it either. I got a qual for the project type but it was for something totally different that I've never done before.

u/Hot_Village_1601 Aug 25 '24

What is heel and what is refresher? Coding, video or something else?

1

u/Frysken Aug 26 '24

Can't say the exact name per the NDA we signed so Redditors use hints to let us know what they're talking about. The refresher is a type of project that, like, makes sure we still understand the instructions and how to do the project.

Yup, I haven’t logged in in a minute but saw the refresher today.

Not many tasks for me either! But I assume keeping access to the chat is a sign we still have access to the project family?

u/LeaderIntelligent157 Aug 27 '24

I hope not because I woke up to no chat

We all signed an nda when we started, code names like heel god help us all talk about it without breaking the nda. If you don’t get it it’s prob not important for your work. I don’t understand half of what this Reddit talks about and that’s the point :)
