Characters giving up on jobs.

Anyone every have their characters just drop assigned tasks ? I've noticed that for the past 3 days when I send them out through the unemployment center they drop the tasks after about an hour. I send them out for 8 hours and after an hour I find them just wandering about doing nothing. It's weird and frustrating.

I submitted this on the bug board as well.

    I always sync (via visiting friends) after sending all characters anyway, because some characters take forever to walk to their new task location, and it screws up the free donut rush when the tasks are nearly ending.


    What is the longest that a character can take to get to their task location?


    I'm not sure but definitely several minutes can be taken for them to reach the place that a task happens as I've followed characters through my Springfield.


    Yes, this is true. I always do what @wiedmannaj says as well. I send all my characters on tasks then close and open the game to teleport them to their location. You would think you're only saving 30 seconds while the character walks across the screen, but for some reason the delay can be several minutes. I have personally watched characters get lost - walking this way and that way - rather than walking a direct path to their task location. It's frustrating trying to mass-rush a group of tasks to find that one isn't ready, and that you have no idea which character this is.
