Well that set a new record
3 days is a new record for me. The company brought me in with the expectation a big contract was starting. And then there where some questions about if the contract was going to be signed at all. So I'm back out looking until further notice.

Isn't that frustrating?
I worked for a company for three days once also.
They promised all kinds of things would and wouldn't happen, such as I wouldn't have to do any extensive math, and if I had to do any simple math, I could use a calculator. They set specific hours, and promised to abide by them, etc.
First day at work they made me do math without a calculator. Then they told me I couldn't go home on schedule, I had to stay and I couldn't call John to tell him I was going to be late.
Second day they explained that no one ever went home on schedule, and no one was allowed to call home. That there were no set hours, and that I would be doing math on a regular basis.
Third day I quit.
I wish employers could be trusted. :(
Good luck finding another job.

Sux! This is amerika, after all...
...where a contract isn't really a contract, its a CYA document.
(And most of 'em are large enough to literaly CYA, too...)

Are you saying that contracts are meant as...
toilet paper?
If so, then corporate America even sucks at that!

Lots
The project I spent the last 3 years at my full time job was an internal pay site for AT&T. Not just displaying the payment information but actually computing it.
