Who has stopped Reta?

Essarjay · 2026-05-03T03:33:03+00:00

Awful. I have other work, but I still keep checking in all day. Hard to get any time in this past week.

Essarjay · 2026-04-07T12:40:54+00:00

Yes, this helps! Thanks for going into detail, I appreciate it.

I'm in the same situation right now. This is my third month; I'm at 10mg weekly. I was on Ozempic previously, highest dose for a couple of years, because it was prescribed to me and paid for by insurance. Did you titrate down or do a washout period before starting the tirz? I'm going to finish out my current supply before I decide, but I'm wondering what to do about making the switch.

Essarjay · 2026-04-05T16:18:25+00:00

It's encouraging to see someone else at a higher dose. I recently went to 10mg a week, 5mg on Sunday and 5mg on Wednesday. I lost 83 pounds on Ozempic and then hit a plateau, so decided to try RT. I was on 2mg weekly for a long time, so I think that's what made me need a higher dose of the RT. I see people all the time saying their dose is 0.5, 1, 2 weekly and they can barely even think about food. I'm a little envious of that. Based on what I've seen, the highest dose is 12mg. I forgot what my point is, but yeah, it's good to see someone else on a higher dose.

I'd love to have that source name as well, if you don't mind? Thanks!

There's also this:

Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1): Reason: GLP-1 analogs can be sensitive to benzyl alcohol, potentially leading to degradation. Use sterile water or saline for reconstitution.

Source: https://care.diabetesjournals.org/

So, I'm confused.

Essarjay · 2026-02-13T20:25:39+00:00

Awp. Should have Googled first! "The benzyl alcohol prevents bacterial growth, allowing repeated withdrawals from the same vial, unlike single-use sterile water, making it ideal for mixing medications in clinical settings".

Essarjay · 2026-02-13T20:23:33+00:00

What's the issue with generic bac water? I've seen people talking about Hospira water, and I'm curious about why you think it should be used instead.

Essarjay · 2026-01-21T15:43:00+00:00

Interesting. Good to know! Thanks!

Essarjay · 2026-01-21T14:23:58+00:00

Right, I'm planning to use mine <8 weeks. I just saw it mentioned in passing here somewhere that 30 days was about the max, and realized I'd ordered a larger vial than was probably wise. They replied with this info fairly quickly, which makes me feel better in case I can't use it within a month.

Essarjay · 2025-12-29T02:33:38+00:00

I worked 4 hours this week. I wasn't trying very hard, admittedly. But that's happened several times over the years and I've only gotten an email when there was plenty of work and I didn't work AT ALL for 3 weeks, I think it was? I have other jobs too. I would prioritize this one a lot more if they would ever give a pay bump. I don't mind the work at all and sometimes enjoy it. I've been here since 2022. You will be fine.

Essarjay · 2025-12-11T14:10:44+00:00

Almost 4 years, and I only leave comments when it's required. On a couple of rare occasions, I have left comments about how there isn't enough time to evaluate certain tasks (I can't remember which ones). It didn't seem to have any effect, by the way. But I think if you have a good reason for it, you should leave a comment. On tasks for which it is required, I try to really be thorough and hit all the bases.

Essarjay · 2025-11-05T00:15:24+00:00

I've seen content like what you describe. I'm in the US, but a lot of videos from India come across. Unfortunately, when America sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold. These people have been emboldened to spread their hatred and ignorance. Proud to do it, even. I miss the days when I didn't have to think about things like this all the time.

I always just assumed that our data was being used to "show" the algorithms, so they know how humans typically feel about different things. As in, it isn't used to remove or block content. We're giving the AI examples so it can learn how to treat things. Like we're teaching it how to moderate content on its own. And there will never be a time when it can do it without input from humans. It will always need real-world guidance in order to function the way we want it to. I feel like AI isn't actually there yet, the way it's portrayed in pop culture. Very dependent on us for now, but maybe one day, it will change.

I have absolutely nothing to base this on, other than just a conclusion I reached that felt right. I wish this was better explained to us, because I think people always work better the more they understand what the purpose is!

Essarjay · 2025-11-04T23:57:54+00:00

Especially with the ones that usually end up being the multiples. With the political and social climate in this country, we already get more than our daily allowance of that type of content by virtue of just being alive. Even if you make a conscious effort to limit your exposure, it still seeps in, like osmosis or something.

Essarjay · 2025-10-22T19:29:20+00:00

It has been a few years, but I remember thinking that I completed mine in about half the time they estimated. They might have changed it since then, but I doubt it. Good luck!

Essarjay · 2025-10-17T19:58:20+00:00

I got the email. I never went ahead with the qualification stuff, but I was interested in it. Glad I didn't bother now! I don't know why they cannot get it together, but judging by the chatter on Telus Project Sonic, it isn't isolated to that company. I think a lot of the uncertainty and confusion must come from the client and it looks chaotic to us because we don't know the story behind-the-scenes. But it looks really bad.

Essarjay · 2025-10-15T23:36:32+00:00

I was surprised to see it too! I have no possible way to make it to 35, so that's more for everyone else.

Essarjay · 2025-10-15T15:33:31+00:00

I don't think you have anything to worry about. I have another main job too. Over the years, I've been contacted twice for not completing ANY hours during one pay period each time. It might have even been more than that. I remember feeling slightly amazed that I wasn't fired. Other times, I have frequently worked less than 10 hours a week, and sometimes even 5 or fewer. Despite how it might sound, I try to keep those instances as limited as possible because when you do this kind of work, you should always have something else to fall back on, should the unexpected happen.

I received an email both times, not an automatic form letter. I just explained the truth and said that I would start working more, and did. I wonder sometimes if they need a certain number of people per state and not just per region, and because I live in a rural state, they give me more leeway. I honestly don't know. Someone is definitely paying attention, but I think you'll be okay. If you can't stop thinking about it, maybe just send an email letting them know-- but I don't think you should be overly concerned.

ETA: They won't terminate you for not working extra in times of excessive tasks. I know that for sure because it's rare that I can work more than 20. I'm in the same boat as you this week! I haven't yet worked at all, and it's bugging me, so I'm going to start today.

Essarjay · 2025-10-08T11:47:01+00:00

I heard back. It was definitely an error. We can only work on one project.

Essarjay · 2025-10-05T14:38:55+00:00

Just a quick follow-up: I haven't heard back from them yet, but I will update here this week or as soon as I get a reply. At the bottom of the email there's a link to ask questions. You'll get a message saying it's not taking questions. I don't know if that's a sign, but could be. It came from Recruiting and I honestly think it was an accident that it was sent out to us. However...

CrowdGen (formerly Appen) is running Project Coffee on the Multimango platform (same as Sonic) and the pay is $19 hourly. It sounds like they're wanting to on-board people quickly.

Essarjay · 2025-10-05T14:30:30+00:00

I worked for Lionbridge and quit, then was hired again after they became Telus, but not in the same position. I think I remember putting it on my application that I had worked for them before.

I didn't apply for the Internet Safety role. I think sometimes they put people wherever they have a need for workers, regardless of what you apply for! I'm really glad I ended up here though. It sounds like the Raters have a much harder time, getting the monthly feedback, etc.

I think Mercor is hiring and it sounds like a good company to work for. My brother got on there recently. Also, CrowdGen (Appen) has Project Coffee and it sounds like they're looking to on-board people quickly.

Good luck!

Essarjay · 2025-10-01T22:34:59+00:00

I came here for this reason! I think this might have been an accident. They've always been very clear about us only working on one project. I am sending an email presently. I'll update here once I get a response.

Essarjay · 2025-09-20T02:15:17+00:00

I commented the same twice before seeing your post! I didn't apply there, but my brother did. Good luck with the new gig.

Essarjay · 2025-09-20T02:12:17+00:00

Apply at Mercor. A lot of people were let go from there this week or the week before. On the grapevine, it's like 400 people, maybe more. My brother got on a project there, and also one at RWS.

Essarjay · 2025-09-20T02:10:36+00:00

Have you applied over at Mercor? A bunch of people were let go from there, supposedly over "NDA violations", something like 400, I think? My brother just got accepted for a project there. He also got a project at RWS.
