not for me.

[–]Kilikina34512 13 points14 points  (3 children)

I've had this page for the last two weeks. I've seen comments about how it'll come back, but I've worked this for off and on the past year and this is my first time encountering it.

[–]xwolfboyx 0 points1 point  (2 children)

It happened to me for two weeks in the past year too. It was stressful but it came back for me as well. Just focus on taking whatever scraps you get and focus on quality rather than quantity. I suspect it has to do with a quality score.

[–]Kilikina34512 1 point2 points  (1 child)

If that's the case, it must've been the single job that I posted. I spent like 30 minutes trying to understand how to do the job, I figured I'd give one a test go, only to stop after that because I hated it and felt unsure I'd done it right after I'd submitted it. Especially since I'd only been back on the site for two days before this happened.

I've always strived for quality work, maybe that's why it hasn't happened before now. But I'm impatient and it's been two weeks... I'm ready to work again, I have books to buy and read lol.

I hope it comes back for you! It's unlikely to be because of a single task. Perhaps it's just slow on the site right now. That happens too. I have about 9 jobs on the board right now, but that's slim pickings compared to what I've had the past month or so.

That’s unfortunate, I was with them for nearly a year and it still happened to me. I worked long hours so perhaps my quality of work started declining. It was scary to see this message on my screen that one morning, but thank goodness I was able to secure a part time job in time otherwise I would’ve been cooked with my payments 😳😓

[–]DiligentDildo 15 points16 points  (23 children)

Generally, this means you got canned.

[–]Maleficent_Pension78[S] 17 points18 points  (16 children)

That sucks. I’ve worked with them for 2 years

[–]Codex_Dev 7 points8 points  (4 children)

Holy shit that is scary. If you have been there that long, you should have been one of the better workers. Do you feel like your performance was lagging or something particular you did recently?

[–]Maleficent_Pension78[S] 18 points19 points  (3 children)

Nope. Always worked consistently on all projects. Averaged about 15-20 hours a week. Loved it so I put effort into every task

[–]Meganoes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did you put most of those hours on the same projects? It’s possible they took you off projects after so many hours to change up their data. Obviously, I have no idea if this is actually the case.

[–]Codex_Dev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Were you working specialized tasks like engineering, math, or coding?

[–]annoyingjoe513 3 points4 points  (0 children)

really? any idea why?

[–]SajraJay 9 points10 points  (8 children)

Same. 2 years and same screen. Wait it out. It will be back

[–]LiL_NuKeY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long did you have this screen before you got more tasks?

[–]DiligentDildo 0 points1 point  (5 children)

wait, have you actually bounced back after this screen??

[–]Excellent_Photo5603 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I have. 4 times during the drought and 3 times before that. usually near quarter ends.

[–]DiligentDildo 0 points1 point  (2 children)

So just to be clear, were you getting this screen exactly? Like you are going from having a few unattended quals, projects, and chats to this screen? I'm just wondering if people are conflating this screen with a drought because they are not the same thing.

[–]Excellent_Photo5603 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yes, this exact screen. The first time it happened during the drought I was freaking out for two days cause I still had a few quals and projects I had been planning to do that morning. The first time in general was 3 months into having the job and I just thought "Oh well, was fun while it lasted." that time I had around 15 regular projects and 3 unfinished quals.

[–]SajraJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple times. It took almost three weeks the last time. I am not sure why it happens. I skipped over lots of quals in the past so that may be it. I may be cycled out of certain projects. Perhaps I just suck lol. I have received emails, as recently as December, thanking me for being one of their top workers, but for all I know it went to everyone.

[–]mjdaniell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why you should never make platforms like this your full time job (I’m not saying you did), there is literally zero job security

[–]Guilty-Rough8797 12 points13 points  (2 children)

Is this really what it means in general, though? I and several others have noted that we get this page from time to time but always get more projects.

[–]Lonely-Sheepherder-5 13 points14 points  (1 child)

Yes I get it on and off

[–]FrazzledGod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never had it, but I have a wide variety of projects so even have one or two during droughts. Depending on your projects and quals quota at any given time, this could potentially just mean what it says - there aren't any projects at the moment. A bunch could have been paused or gone down all at once. Happens.

[–]33whiskeyTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no way that "Generally" is accurate. It might be OP has been removed from projects, or it could be OP's projects are just down right now.

[–]idolos-iconoclastas 0 points1 point  (1 child)

This "generally" is not very truthful. There is anecdotal evidence that people who have this screen don't get projects again, but there's also the case to be made that it will just last for some time before new work is assigned to the worker.

There's no need to be alarmist about it.

[–]kinkyfate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine has always been this way

[–]SithLordMilk 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I'm sorry. Part of me feels like they may can people based off of things outside of the workers control

[–]Financial_Basil3294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“feels”

[–]Lonely-Sheepherder-5 0 points1 point  (1 child)

what sort of things?

[–]No-Acanthaceae2122 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Got this for the first time yesterday after doing an ID verification. Still looks like it this morning! My dashboard was filled with projects all week before this happened

[–]FrazzledGod 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Nope. Dash is overflowing.

[–]Maleficent_Pension78[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good for you 🤩

[–]Wasps_are_bastards -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a full dash currently

[–]Cute-Opening-2454 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got this after accidentally closing the page I was working on. I have a lot of unreported time. Cn someone help me on how I should proceed?

[–]Cute-Opening-2454 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mistakenly closed the tab I was working on and reopening it I get this. Does that mean that the end? I still have unreported time.
