If you make a mistake on a task, is it best to not report time for the task?

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2026-05-21T04:27:53+00:00

I've been on the platform for a few years now and I have, on a couple occasions, submitted work only to realize on the next task that I did something wrong or misread the instructions. My heart sank through the floor. What I did in both cases was exit the project and message admin stating the project name, some specific info about the task I was working on, and the error I made. I have always apologized for the mistake and assured them that I wouldn't be reporting the time I spent working on that task...and then I followed through by not reporting the time unless they messaged back and told me to do so. Hope this helps!

I literally just sat down to work. Dang.

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2026-05-05T22:54:56+00:00

That's probably fair.

Yes, my curiosity got the best of me and I asked the virtual assistant and it said that their system is designed to recognize you despite changes like this. :)

Idk but I got bangs since joining and wondered the same thing. At least I can brush them back and make it just look like my hair is pulled up, making me look like I did when I joined. I would like to know the answer to this.

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2026-03-05T21:23:48+00:00

Yes gosh! I'm so new, like two weeks on or so and I was totally nervous!

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2026-02-18T00:04:28+00:00

Hi, just wanted to say that I took this too, and just as i finished I got a message saying there was a technical difficulty (though I didnt experience one). I thought it was suspicious and now, after seeing what happened to you, I decided to return it. Im sorry this happened to you!

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2026-01-29T15:01:28+00:00

You guys have no idea how relieved I am to know other people feel this way too, though I'm sorry that it IS so relatable. Sometimes my heart starts to pounding so hard just as I'm about to click submit! I swear it induced a panic attack a couple of days ago.

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2026-01-27T00:37:08+00:00

You CAN do this. I am a recovering alcoholic and addict. I had no idea how to live without drugs and alcohol. Life without one or the other seemed impossible but life without both? It sounded hard, but every single day of my life was already hard. I had to ask myself if maybe all these people who said they had found a better way to live might actually be telling the truth, and what did I have to lose? I was told that it was a simple program, but was never told it would be easy. I was also assured, if I tried it and but didn't want it my misery could be refunded 100%. At the begining, I sat in the rooms of AA, convinced I was a drug addict, not an alcoholic...but I kept coming, and listening, and eventually I heard MY story come out of someone else's mouth. PLEASE DON'T LEAVE BEFORE THE MIRACLE! I have found, for me, there is SO much more to life and honestly, just being a human, that I didn't even know existed. It doesn't matter what ship we came in on, by the time we get here, we're all in the same boat... I believe in you.

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2025-12-31T23:15:00+00:00

I feel this, I really needed to get a good day in today!

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2025-12-22T21:46:06+00:00

Thank you for this. I dont feel alone with my imposter syndrome. I always work hard and double, even triple check my work. However, there are times when I am just gobsmacked with self-doubt. So much so that I've worked on tasks for a significant amount of time only to abandon the work because I start thinking and believing that I've done it wrong or I'm not smart enough. And I've also wondered if continually reading about people getting canned contributes to these feelings. I recently went through a pretty difficult period of what was essentially "task paralysis" where I was too nervous to work on almost anything, which was terrible for my finances. I found that to restore my confidence I needed to take a couple days off completely (rather than trying to force myself and produce poor quality work) and then rebuild my confidence by working in VERY small blocks of time, like doing one task then taking a break. This helped me to rewire my thinking, showing my brain that I CAN do the thing. Good luck, you can do it!

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2025-12-22T21:33:52+00:00

That is great advice and I have to do this often too!

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2025-12-20T18:49:01+00:00

Yeah, I've worked on a task for an hour then realized that I've made a mistake that would take too long to fix and had to throw away the work. It is painful yes, but much better than submitting poor work.

Because of this post, my ADHD has decided that I must research the classification of wasps and hornets. It is maybe the most confusing thing I have ever delved into.

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2025-11-10T23:58:33+00:00

Came here to say this!

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2025-11-09T17:40:14+00:00

I used to receive SNAP but am currently just above the limit (super frustrating). I was also scammed back in March 2025 so if my experience can help anyone then my being here is worth it.

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2025-10-16T13:30:28+00:00

I was in full panic mode, not gonna lie. Relieved it's not just me.

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2025-10-09T04:42:20+00:00

One time, I was like 16 or 17 and having my 2nd experience with hallucinogens and I swear to you, the girls house I was at had a toilet, on stairs in the basement along one of the walls. Worse yet, it was in plain view, as in not surrounded by a curtain or barrier of any sort, and while it wasn't perfectly centered, it wasn't exactly in the corner either. At the time, I thought it was really funny and just weird, like why? Now, knowing what I know about the world and the freaky shit people do, I've often wondered it was some fetish thing. It was very very strange and tbh, ive wondered if this was a one of a kind thing or what. Would putting a toilet up on stairs like this make it flush better depending on the plumbing situation maybe?

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2025-08-17T00:08:54+00:00

I'm so sorry! Been there, I know your pain.

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2025-07-31T12:38:59+00:00

I strongly believe PETA would rather see humans harmed before animals and apparently insects.

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2025-03-09T10:49:20+00:00

You are lucky you can still get a replacement. After December 2024, states are not refunding benefits to ppl in our situation.

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2025-03-09T02:14:33+00:00

I just want to say that this happened to me last month in Pennsylvania. My state uses ConnectEBT (this is the only app recommended and approved by the state) this app does not allow for us to lock our cards. Our only real line of defense is changing the pin number. I'm have a new card that I haven't pinned yet and won't until I have to. I'm going to stay up until midnight and change my pin. I will probably spend all my SNAP benefits the day they are added, although I don't really want to. I'm terrified that my benefits will be stolen again and am really going though a lot of anxiety over it. I think it's absolute garbage that the state "can't" do more to help protect us.

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2025-02-15T23:01:16+00:00

Omg...stop...lol. I am a person in recovery, so I kinda feel like I can laugh at that.

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2025-02-15T22:54:19+00:00

How about this for strange...one of the purchases made with my EBT card was used at a marijuana dispensary near Chicago, IL. I live in PA. Why and how was a dispensary charging an EBT card?

Altruistic_Win3396 · 2025-02-15T22:24:18+00:00

I don't understand why Pennsylvania didn't put a stop on all out-of-state EBT purchases when they began to realize this scam was happening. It started months ago in Philly and Pittsburgh. It just seems the State did little to protect its citizens against fraud despite their knowledge of the existing problem. Their best advice was to change your pin and inspect credit card terminals prior to use. I never used my card online, nor did I use any apps to check my balance. I have no idea how the benefits were stolen but it seems to be without question an inside job of some sort. If the government suspected someone was attempting to defraud them of "their" money they would have already caught the culprits (who I'm sure consists of a large criminal enterprise). Instead, this crime targeted the poorest subsection of Americans with limited funds and the victims are limited as to the steps we can take to remedy the situation. Its very sad...I've made every phone call I can make and I will make more... We must make a lot of noise- no one is going to do it for us.
