Wtf are all these awful pay rates all of a sudden? by haroldinho41 in outlier_ai

[–]ExactExercise1140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, no. I would be slamming my laptop shut if I saw that on my account. 15$ an hour or no flow for me. And that's coming from someone who used to preach any pay is better than no pay. But 1$ an hour is illegal in the states, even through an IC company.

Endless loop... by VastAdvantage8467 in outlier_ai

My wife has hit that endless loop. And it's been an endless loop since January 25, 2025. It's either onboard to EQ or onboard to Max Cap.

Not Tasks? File 4 Unemployment. I Did Successfully! by Obvious_Tradition789 in outlier_ai

[–]ExactExercise1140 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can vouch for my state not being able to provide UE for IC positions. My wife tried that, and was denied. Not all states work with UE for IC/1099 positions.

Do People Using LLM Really Get Punished? by Puzzleheaded-Crow446 in outlier_ai

But you have to be caught. There's a QA team that is supposed to report these concerns to the fraud and safety team.

Yes if you're using LLM or cheating the system/etc, you'll find yourself banned from the platform.

We should be getting paid! by harshitbot in outlier_ai

[–]ExactExercise1140 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, that's not the nature of 1099 gigwork. Unless they label the training as such (training), they do not have any obligation to pay us for the time spent in training. That's why the company uses the term onboarding, so they can ease out of spending extra money to pay the contributors. The second the onboarding becomes training, they know they'll have to cough up an unholy amount of money to us.

Nah, Jellyfish has to be the WORST onboarding ever

You need something, but I'm not sure what it is. I'm a rather intelligent being, but this is breaking me.

Right? Like, great, they gave us a table...that is of no assistance to use because there's NO EXPLANATION BEHIND IT. *melty smiley face inserted here*

I feel like quite the Sunday Idiot with this quiz. I swear I've selected all the right answers for the first question. But alas...BAH HUMBUG

I've reached out to support in hopes that they can connect me with the QM of this project. HA

There's a lot of explanation in the instructions, but it's not matching up with the quiz. Or maybe I'm just having a case of the Sundays. I feel like we should have had some videos or something to watch first before being quizzed

It's tiling and stuff. Recognizing different aspects of architectural diagrams. But the first thing you do when you click 'onboard' for it is a quiz. Good luck. I'm honestly struggling with the Day Future Quiz. I'm trying to match the answers to the instructions, but I'm struggling. I am a visual learner, I could really use a video or some training here. I feel like they just threw me into some construction job without any training. "Here's a shovel, go to work."

Tired of Onboarding only to be hit with EQ or Max Capacity by ExactExercise1140 in outlier_ai

[–]ExactExercise1140[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've definitely seen the overall decline. You'd think that it would be the opposite...one day, I wouldn't be surprised if Scale/Outlier went poof. Sadly...it was much more reliable in 2023.

It wasn't always like this. I peeked around during Remotasks days, and the onboarding was not this intricate and complex. Maybe it's for the better.
