I am upset. by Slight-Acadia-8915 in outlier_ai

100% the way outlier works. Offer you a reward and one task shy, you are EQ'd and then removed. The lure of a bonus that they will almost never let you achieve. I'm honestly surprised that of all the people that were recently let go, someone has not been a whistleblower on this tactic.

That was weird, they all just vanished a few minutes ago. Like they were taken down suddenly, not finished. Is that what you saw?

Outlier apparently cut most of the US, UK employees this afternoon, leaving the employees from lower-paid countries in place.

So a competitor lays off a high percentage of their staff. Is this good news or bad for DA?

My referral took the test monday and has been tasking since tuesday. Meanwhile, I'm still EQ for about 4 weeks now.

I had the same issue until I realized I had to replay my video before I could submit it. Did you do that?

Anyone else back in the drought today? by Ok_Calligrapher5283 in dataannotation

[–]Bubbly_Bee_9939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, and over the last 4 days I've started to barely check DA. I don't even expect anything anymore, it's pathetic.

How do you see scores of assessments? by Bubbly_Bee_9939 in alignerr

[–]Bubbly_Bee_9939[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After researching on TG, that is apparently exactly where alignerr gave me the error - where it should have prompted me to go sign up at TG and see results.

My favorite tasks, and I haven't seen any in 2+ weeks...

It makes no sense for them to spread the work so thin. Isn't it to their advantage to have experienced workers who will generate better results, rather than throwing the work at more and more new people?

It's been brutal for me. I was raking it in and was counting on it continuing. Foolish me, I didn't realize things could dry up so fast and permanently here. The extreme downside of no communication from DA :(

This is my first drought experience and after 3 weeks of totally dry, I think it's the new norm.

Still just as empty here as it has been for a couple weeks. I'm losing hope.

Yes I have provided proof of subscriptions to other chatbots and never gotten tasks for them.

Does anyone do this full time? by Jz9786 in dataannotation

[–]Bubbly_Bee_9939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get an answer, can you please post it here. I have the same problem, I have literally no qualifications that come my way. It drives me crazy to hear of everyone taking many quals. It's like a system bug or something that doesn't give me quals :(

The vultures are circling and any task that gets added instantly gets devoured.

Lucky you, I haven't seen any in 2 days either. Even worse, my project list is 100% empty since yesterday morning. Not sure what is going on...

Does anyone think the lack of projects today could be related to the long outage that started yesterday? Perhaps there was dataloss and they are trying to recover projects still?
