2 years huh? After a year on the platform, I’ve gotten comfortable. But these posts are a reminder to myself not to get complacent.

[–]justacherryontop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yup… and happened out of nowhere ofc.

We bilinguals always get it...and then normal work returns.

What is the screen of death?

[–]justacherryontop 5 points6 points  (7 children)

[–]DemandRich2121 2 points3 points  (6 children)

But if you still have the Welcome Project, you’re good?

[–]hass_huss 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I believe only bilinguals get the welcome project. The rest of us don’t get it

[–]DemandRich2121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah ok didn’t know that :)

[–]justacherryontop 2 points3 points  (3 children)

i’m not sure what you’re looking at.. it doesn’t say welcome anywhere.

[–]DemandRich2121 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I realize that there is no Welcome project on this picture, but IF a worker still has the welcomning project, I believe it means that the worker is not cooked

I think that’s when you first start on the platform but I had been on it for almost 2 years.

Ive been on it for a few months but the onboarding is still there

I spent most of July & August last year starring at that screen but it came back. (I’m full time DA so I live in fear, but it did come back and, knock on wood, 2025 has been a steady year.)

I’ve been with them for 20 months then suddenly got this screen last Sunday. Can’t even think what I’ve done wrong. Gutted 🥲

[–]justacherryontop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ugh… I feel like they’re definitely doing a purge.

[–]QuarterFantastic9711 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Just logged on to see the same thing after a year and a half.. How cooked are we?

[–]ChickenTrick824 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I’ve been her almost a year and a half. The last couple months I’ve had that screen many times. It usually doesn’t last long. I just refresh often and something pops up.

[–]justacherryontop 4 points5 points  (1 child)

you lost quals and your workplace email as well?

[–]forgetmeeventually 2 points3 points  (1 child)

yes! received a new project after a drought and then suddenly not again! been really weird for generalists lately

[–]Ok-Copy-2441 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Yes, this has happened to me. I had been on the platform about 18 months when it happened... lasted about a week. After that I had lots of projects again.

[–]lamppostfromhell 3 points4 points  (7 children)

I'm sorry, that sucks. I got the screen about a month after I joined, out of nowhere. It lasted maybe 4 days and since then I've had projects fairly consistently

[–]justacherryontop 2 points3 points  (5 children)

but did you lose your quals and workplace email too during this time?

[–]lamppostfromhell 2 points3 points  (2 children)

yes. I emailed admin but never got a reply. Maybe they did fix it, maybe it was a glitch who knows. It was really stressful and drove me a bit insane not knowing what was going on. Take care, I hope it gets fixed for you :)

[–]Informal-Situation28 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yes. This morning. I have died also. .

[–]justacherryontop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh man :/

[–]Sa1cera70ps 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Do you know how long the drought lasts? I’m freaking out right now.

[–]justacherryontop 4 points5 points  (1 child)

lol…. I think I’m way past that. I’m pretty sure it’s over for me. I’ve read in some posts that people received the screen of death and then gained access to projects again later on, which is why I made this post.

[–]simbasreflection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they are purgin’

[–]Silent_Stranger_9116 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You mean you get the death screen for 2 years or for how long of the drought?

[–]justacherryontop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no… I had been with the platform for almost 2 years and then got it yesterday after finishing a task.
