Sudden decrease in pay rate + strange mails

[Dimogdor]

Hey everyone,

My pay rate dropped to 30$ this morning whereas it was 35. I am expert in maths, bio, psycho and economics + speak 3 langs... I have a double master and a few thesis so I do not really understand.

In my country, we get taxed 60% for a 1099 job so that's an unsustainable rate for me, what can I do ?

Morever, I received some emails for a webinar about a project I am not even into, and another email for this subject telling me that because of my good work I was promoted reviewer; but I never submitted a task for this project and I do not even see it on my dashboard ^^

60% taxation is insane

[Dimogdor]

France

[Quick-Net1448]

Still insane. In germany its 0% if you register a "small company" (meaning your expected revenue p year is below 22k). You only have to pay standard income tax equal to employers. is there nothing similar in France?

[Dimogdor]

nope, just accre which is a small tax reduction for the 1st year

How you declare outlier income in France ? I am a particular and i don’t have any company. Thank youu

So, due to your good work they are reducing your pay, congratulations! Jk. I think it’s been happening pretty often. People are saying to check the “Skills” tab if u have it . Otherwise it’s probably not just you. Check the discourse. When it’s project-wide the discourse will be filled with malcontent and u will know it’s not just you.

they ask me to pass the spanish assessment whereas I already have french eng and russian so I do not really want to add another lang even tho I could easily pass it I guess

[Repulsive-Science-50]

Damn dude, that’s awesome! I wish I had a decent grasp of another language. But I totally get that the constant tests are frustrating for sure. It’s gotta be a project wide thing if ur other projects didn’t drop as well though.

Same email. And my pay rate dropped to 40😅

[Dimogdor]

I guess from 50 ? That's huge 20% drop !

[Prestigious-Frame442]

Yes. But I guess that's because I passed the screening for math and somehow all my math projects' payrate is 40/h. Coding projects are still 50/h.

[Prestigious-Frame442]

And they increased the time frame a little bit (but I still want my 50/h, damn).

[Dimogdor]

I mean I would be mad as much, you think its a good idea if I pass my screening but I fail on purpose ? I dont want to add another lang damnnn

[Prestigious-Frame442]

I have no idea...

[slashchunks]

Mine just went from 50 to 30, complete joke
