It sucks that they requested work from you that was not necessary, but would you really prefer that they lied about it?

I'd say they mismanaged the situation, but at least were honest about it.

Absolutely. If they had told me that the code was total garbage in a snide tone followed by derogatory remarks about my mother, I would be over it by now. I am a very forgiving person.

Having me do two days of work and immediately throwing it in the trash without even glancing at it is the far worse insult.
