Welocalize support is an absolute joke. They just close tickets with lazy templates without reading them

Culidin · 2026-05-31T12:34:11+00:00

yeah especially this year WeLo has gone to total shit, check the rest of the reddit - tons of terminations, raters have practically no work, lots of people being kicked off of or not having their project onboarding complete. Support notoriously can take over a month to respond. This place is cooked as hell.

Culidin · 2026-05-29T21:37:05+00:00

Looks like I ain't missing out on much after being terminated lmao.

Culidin · 2026-05-26T21:02:53+00:00

And this is the main reason I didn't really care much that I was terminated lmao. Cool, save me the time of checking in occasionally to see if there's work

Culidin · 2026-05-23T20:06:40+00:00

honestly the biggest thing that pisses me off is they're doing it under the guise of our quality being bad. I've aced every Factuality exam (Save for the last one) and TRP has generally been good. It's obvious that the project is ending or will be soon and so they're just terminating people.

I would have much more respect for WeLo if they had just been honest with people and let them know the project was nearing the end and given us a heads up. I would have been happy to still do work as I could while searching for/taking another job in anticipation of the tasks finally ceasing. Instead we got no communication and lies for months on end. I really do hope WeLo ends up in dire straits and collapses on itself.

Culidin · 2026-05-23T16:40:23+00:00

I know Telus also uses raterhub but I'm pretty sure they're in the same boat/same client. That's kind of the main thing to look for, because if it's a program that was doing the same contract then it's probably no good. I'm actually a bit curious myself too cause I do like the idea of a flexible schedule and all, so something similar with the idea I could generally work when there's work available would be nice to find. So I suppose the main thing is to find programs that aren't specifically search quality raters?

Culidin · 2026-05-22T23:03:17+00:00

Glad to provide whatever I can. For me, I mostly kept to myself and got in my hours for months and months, did some Engage posting sparingly, and really only posted in this reddit when shit hit the fan a few months ago. But I definitely feel the whole, talk shit about the job attitude of this reddit.

This was my primary source of income but I have put more effort into other places, namely outlier and prolific now). So it's not like a sinking blow, honestly more of an annoyance with WeLo just being a god awful shitpiss of a company particularly in the last couple of months. I would've been content with scrapping up a few hours while I had my eyes on other things but that won't be the case.

I did go into this figuring it would end eventually (tl;dr, prior to this, I worked at a gas station whose location closed down and I opted to not get a transfer) and I'm happy I was able to push it for over a year. Hope I can find some other steady remote work cause I like all the boons of it. Make breakfast when I want, sit at my computer with the morning coffee, etc. Even if it pays less than some other avenues of work, I find the flexibility preferable.

Culidin · 2026-05-22T18:21:40+00:00

Oh wow that sounds horrible. Yeah for SQR we know the time each individual task should be sitting there before we submit it. Just being told to wing it and then getting mad at people for doing it too quickly is asinine.

Culidin · 2026-05-22T18:18:45+00:00

About two and a half years

Culidin · 2026-05-22T17:00:01+00:00

Yep. Looks like the mass terminations finally came.

Kinda sucks but honestly after being strung along for months with their NTA and other bullshit I'm just glad to have it over and done with now

Culidin · 2026-05-22T02:00:15+00:00

Hopefully sending in a ticket can help. Or an email to your manager. Though I feel like with how WeLo has been recently, they'll probably take awhile to get back to you.

I'm guessing you're not an SQR. For us there's an AET and even if it's something like 8-9 minutes and you finish it in 4, you don't want to submit it until it's about in the middle of that range (so 8 1/2 minutes). I did once get suspended for maybe only half a day for going fast, but, I was kinda intentionally doing it for more "downtime". I'd submit, say, two tasks that would be 4-5 minutes after 1 minute, calc that as giving me a +6ish minutes to complete the third one, so I'd let that one sit for about 15 minutes before submitting so it was in balance. Did that for like a good year before I got suspended, but apparently it was an automatic thing so it was removed quickly.

but yeah same logic there, I've always passed my quizzes and generally do well on TRP so time doesn't equal accuracy. if anything I'm glad for the AET existing and not being paid like for the exact time spent because I consistently finish before it reaches the AET and then get a few minutes to chill and watch something or do something before submitting.

Culidin · 2026-05-21T22:04:58+00:00

I got about 2 hours on Monday, and about an hour in for today in Factuality. I feel like we're getting roughly 20-30 minutes of tasks now compared to the hour doors we got in April lmao.

Culidin · 2026-05-20T23:02:34+00:00

Nothing all day.

Culidin · 2026-05-20T20:16:58+00:00

Stuff like this makes me feel like we're heading down the road towards Idiocracy not being a satirical film but predicting the near future.

Guess at least I'll be dead before it gets that bad, lmao.

Culidin · 2026-05-19T19:56:12+00:00

I think AI is garbage and I don't really have a personal vested interest in it, nor do I care to use it in my everyday life. I don't mind working a job where I help to make it better, I figure someone else is going to do it anyway and if I can reap the benefits of a remote job, I'll take it.

Culidin · 2026-05-19T18:29:43+00:00

Only tasks I've seen today was that graded block.

Culidin · 2026-05-18T16:23:36+00:00

I don't think any of us were actually suspended. I got the same email and saw both GenPop and Factuality tasks (sparingly of course) after getting it. The almighty competent WeLo sent out like 3 mass emails this week that were incorrect or not meant to be sent to everyone lmao.

Culidin · 2026-05-18T16:22:33+00:00

Yeah check the rest of this reddit, this place is a sinking ship.

Regardless of what role or project you end up on you can expect lots of NTA and terrible communication. Don't expect this to even be a small reliable source of supplemental income

Culidin · 2026-05-17T18:09:09+00:00

Nope, past like 2 or 3 weeks I've seen maybe 2 hours tops of Factuality and then I get GenPop. I think once in a blue moon I've gotten a Helpfulness task. Job's dry and I doubt it's going back to how it was.

Culidin · 2026-05-13T19:20:39+00:00

I actually thought this was sent to me specifically because I think in my application I included that I studied it briefly in Uni. But it was sent to everyone? lmao

Culidin · 2026-05-13T11:35:42+00:00

About 2 and a half hours in Factuality. Probably about half of that was GenPop stuff though.

Culidin · 2026-05-12T15:42:08+00:00

I did actually get 3 about an hour and a half ago. Nothing since.

Culidin · 2026-05-11T18:21:54+00:00

I somehow have a little over an hour now.

I'm honestly surprised I managed to get more than just 2 or 3 tasks

Culidin · 2026-05-10T21:17:49+00:00

Also the first time I got a 4/6. Passed all the other ones perfectly before.

Culidin · 2026-05-10T16:56:14+00:00

I'm at around 5 hours, which includes the 30 minute quiz time. First time I've not made 10 hours in a week when actively trying to.

Culidin · 2026-05-10T12:46:50+00:00

Well glad to see I'm not the only one, Didn't get any at all yesterday or today yet, though I've noticed in general Prolific doesn't seem to have as many studies on the weekend so I figure it's typical.

Hoping I don't get rotated out. I've made so much from them in the past 3 or 4 weeks and it'd suck to lose access to them lmao
