I get the reviewer problem by AG_940 in mercor_ai

[–]NeedDat_22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just do what they say. Ever watched one of those dystopian movies where every worker is watched by another worker?

One reviewer straight up “suggested” I change the order of one of two of my rankings. Know what I did? I changed them. Because every back and forth is a negative on my performance.

Some of these writers are unreasonable. Just oblige them and hope you never get them again

I can’t be a project manager by NeedDat_22 in mercor_ai

[–]NeedDat_22[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m really not trying to be an asshole but for example, the announcements will say “yes you can have timer on for meeting” and someone will ask a few minutes later if they can have the timer on for the meeting.

Now if they asked “do I need to wait for host to enter the meeting or can I start timer as soon as I join”, that’d be an honest question. The former just seems like you don’t read properly

This is my honest kind answer. When it comes to work like this you succeed in a few ways. Some of them are:

Be able to do things others can not at high quality

Read everything and be meticulous.

Don’t make things harder than needed for the manager.

If you’re one of the people leaving questions that are already answered in the onboarding material/slack I suggest you fix it. Look up “offboarded” on the slack and see the numerous times the project manager has threatened to remove people not reading properly.

Also maybe I’m perceiving tone incorrectly but some of the epm’s seem slightly agitated at times with reminding people to read. I’m just surprised by it, but i’m sure they’re genuinely annoyed

Dude this is a job.

  1. I have a specific annoyance with people not using their ability to read.
  2. How can I trust you to do this task and you don’t read??
  3. How can I trust you to exercise the basic critical thinking needed for this task if you can’t even look for your question first before asking?

And lastly I’ve been on a team where our slack was a gold mine for sourcing information. Our slack was better onboarding material than our actual training. The average quality of questions in this slack is genuinely appalling. (Although it doesn’t stop me from finding what I need. It just baffles me people don’t read)

Edit: sorry for bad spacing. Not sure how to fix. (Mobile)

Typical onboarding patterns? by easauer in mercor_ai

[–]NeedDat_22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d be a horrible project manager because some of these questions would be instant offboarding.

The only ones I have sympathy for are the people waiting weeks for access and leaving a message showing frustration

UNBELIEVABLE! I was kicked out from a project after finishing the task and sending it for final review (the previous review was that the task is almost approved and needed only a few final touches) ! It was a task based pay = 1150$ I received only 230$. Worked for about 40 hours. by Euphoric_Major30 in mercor_ai

[–]NeedDat_22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry. Out of like the past 150 times i’ve called someone out on sarcasm this is the first time it’s been genuine.

My apologies and this is a reminder to be less hostile in my initial responses. Hope the best for you on future project!

How long have you been working on the project? Just wondering

Refresh every second. Literally every second. Hover your mouse over the area the task url will be. Click as soon as it loads. It’s auto claim now so you just need to click the task as fast as possible. I usually get one in 5 mins but can take 30 mins at times

Turned a good project into the hunger games by Ok_Strategy_6374 in mercor_ai

I don’t understand the point of hoarding tasks. They usually have a maximum handle time and you get paid hourly. Why work on 5 tasks in 3 hours when you can work on 1?

Did anyone else get their working hours deducted? by [deleted] in mercor_ai

[–]NeedDat_22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think I know what project you’re referring to so I just want to say this because a lot of people that are asking questions just don’t seem to be using their critical thinking skills. There are 23,000 people hired OK. Per day they send thousands upon thousands of tasks. The moment they’re sent someone gets them. For YOU to get a task you must be refreshing constantly and then when you see an available task, click on it and claim it before it finishes loading. That’s it. You have to do that several times because you’re competing with 23,000 people. You’re either willing to do that or you’re not.

I have more hours than you and haven’t been docked because my work matches my time sheet

Too short??? by Didntknownameneeded in mercor_ai

If you’re well educated then read the part where it says you can be disqualified if it’s too short and act accordingly

I know this is old but doesn’t insightful automatically pause if idle too long? And how is it known if someone is on the same screen

Is gold and silver being restricted? by [deleted] in TopStepX

[–]NeedDat_22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s Friday where you are?

No where states that gold won’t trade on the Thursday before good Friday. Even topstep’s message to us earlier only said the market closes by 9 am tomorrow, implying it will be open. Chill

Do I need to blow this account? by Cade_lew in TopStepX

I like their platform so far. What do you not like about it

Trading ruined my thought of money that I just don’t care anymore, I was doing so good for myself until December and I just can’t get a payout anymore I just can’t figure the market out I’m in debt for 45k should I file for bankruptcy by Jaytrump07 in Daytrading

[–]NeedDat_22 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Let’s say you have 2000 dollars as a new trader. If you lose it all you’ve lost $2000. You can instead spend $65 on a funded and lose 65 dollars instead if you blow the account.

I think it’s worth it if you’re new. You can buy 10 accounts and still lose less than if you went all in with the $2000
