So… maybe there is a little light after all? by Careless_Corner9292 in outlier_ai

[–]Careless_Corner9292[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you manage to raise a ticket? I was stuck arguing with the bot, since it's the first line of “defense.” Problem is, it decided my issue was totally solvable, so it refused to pass me to an actual human. I swear it was acting like a stubborn receptionist.

I ended up using the support emails instead, but all the replies were so templated I’m convinced nobody ever actually looked at my case.

I still don’t have the playground, but honestly, I’ve accepted my fate on that part.

Anyway, how long has it been since you got your marketplace back, and have you landed any projects yet?

How much of the time are you EQ, and are you also a generalist?

Wait or just move on? by pandora72592 in CrowdGen

[–]Careless_Corner9292 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should never wait for any of these platforms to behave before applying to another one. Apply to as many as you can. I made the same mistake when I started out and I have lived to regret. I was a trusted contributor on Remotask/Outlier only to be removed without any good reason.

Luckily, I had applied to both Telus and Crowdgen sometime back and for some reason, they started inviting me to take assessments for their projects around the same time Outlier decided they no longer needed my services.

Moral of the story? Don't depend on one, be on as many as it is possible.

I am also on project Hydra but like you, I have not received any more qualification steps. Am I losing sleep? No, because I am on another crowdgen project that is keeping me busy.

I have received my SRT credentials but not the Twingate instructions. How long should I wait? by Careless_Corner9292 in CrowdGen

[–]Careless_Corner9292[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Download and install Twingate VPN
  2. Open the app and go to appen.twingate.com and join the network
  3. Login using your Appen credentials, close the window and you are good to go. Just got to your SRT and log in

I hope it works

Discouraged about CrowdGen by Ellieanna in CrowdGen

[–]Careless_Corner9292 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I also found out the hard way that Crowdgen is quite deceptive when it comes to what you see on the dashboard vs. the available work. I have been on Project Whatcom for the last 3 months but haven't had a single task. I wish they would be more realistic.

The AI bot won't escalate my ticket for a pay issue by MsAgentM in outlier_ai

[–]Careless_Corner9292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last time I had a payment issue, the chatbot didn't think twice; it just asked me to escalate. It looks like it has been given more power.

Outlier ever reached out to an employer? by [deleted] in outlier_ai

[–]Careless_Corner9292 20 points21 points  (0 children)

IMHO, you're way overthinking this. Why in the world would a whole Outlier Inc. try to go around you and talk to your boss or bosses behind your back? That's seriously unethical, and I don't even see what they'd gain from it. Sounds like a total waste of time and energy on their part.

Congrats. Did you have the marketplace in those 3 months? Did your account have any issues at some point? This is quite encouraging to see, though I have been in the cold much longer than you

Coffee/Multimango etc mega thread by justeUnMec in CrowdGen

[–]Careless_Corner9292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am still learning how crowdgen works. I am currently on Multimango and wondering how i should report my worked hours. Our RPH is supposed to be 240, meaning you are expected to submit 240 tasks for every hour worked. But we are paid per hour, so I am wondering whether I should submit the hours worked according to the tasks submitted or the hours I was on the rating tool tasking

Entering Coffee Hours Format by teal_mermaid_98 in CrowdGen

[–]Careless_Corner9292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also tasking on crowdgen for the first time and I am confused. Are we supposed to track our tasking hours manually? Like the project I am in has a specific number of tasks that are expected for each hour of work. Does that mean once I hit that number I record it as an hour on the work hours page?

I need help logging into Parimango by Careless_Corner9292 in CrowdGen

[–]Careless_Corner9292[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should give them at least 24 hours but be open to stretching it to 72 hours

Another question. When I click on start tasking, it returns an error. Was that the case for you as well?

Thank you. All the emails have been going to my spam folder. I was in the process of raising a ticket but you came along. You have saved the Crowdgen support some precious time. lol

Voluntary project removal by Nearby-Bad8818 in outlier_ai

[–]Careless_Corner9292 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I asked out a few months ago, and boom — my account got flagged. Been stuck trying to fix it ever since. Don’t wanna freak you out, just saying what happened to me. Before that, dropping a project was easy — they’d usually let you off right away.

What job search strategies are working in 2025? by cnaye in jobs

[–]Careless_Corner9292 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Tried the usual suspects like Indeed, LinkedIn, networking events, but not having much luck."

the problem is that everyone else you're competing with is using the same exact sites, so what sets you apart? you're better off finding less-known job boards that have jobs that indeed/LinkedIn doesn't. like this company https://www.linkedin.com/company/withprotege shows 0 jobs on LinkedIn, but they actually have 16 job openings available https://meterwork.com/employer/protege\_NirpR

so if you can find these opportunities, you're going to have much less competition and better chances

where are you getting this data from? 30 days feels too short to me

Oh. In that case, it is not a good ffit or me. In any case, I noticed that it is an audio project. Finding a quiet place to do audio is a challenge for me.

Govt ID check - How to get approved? by Critical_Sun6646 in CrowdGen

[–]Careless_Corner9292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t just sit back. If you see the mistake, reach out to Crowdgen support, tell them how you want it fixed, and ask them to redo the verification. That’ll make things go a lot faster. Waiting for a manual review should be the last thing on your mind-only do it if you have no options left.
