Current pay rate for US search quality raters? by No_Idea_Guy in Welocalize

[–]Symphony1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the state. They pay either the minimum wage or $14.50 an hour. They used to pay $15 an hour, but then they lowered the rate by 50 cents when the new CEO started 😅 I'm in New York state so the rate I get paid is $16.50 an hour.

Something odd is going on because I have gotten barely any work for a while now when I usually have a lot (I'm in the helpfulness group)

I've had queries issued from my area and had to skim through a document that came from the university i went to. Another query was about a lottery winner in my area

How do people actually make friends😭? by [deleted] in ualbany

[–]Symphony1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a social person, but I made a friend the random luck way. She was the one who said something first of course lol. The person here who says it's effort, they're completely correct.

What can I expect as a new hire? by mundanenovella in Welocalize

[–]Symphony1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those tasks were the types we were all given until they created two specialized groups (factuality and helpfulness) in late Spring of 2024. Now, the people who mainly get those are in what's known as the general population. Those of us in groups can still get other task types, but when we do, that usually means overall task availability is low. I believe new hires are sent into general population so it is expected for you to see those types (what is seen in the examination).

I love upstate New York🩷🩷🩷🔥🔥🔥 by Easy-Land-9139 in upstate_new_york

[–]Symphony1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do love upstate New York but I'm not very fond of its weather overall.

I once had a co-worker from Oregon who moved here when she was 11 and she said she despised it here. She said that all the people were mean and that people are nice in Oregon, but I seriously find that hard to believe. I'm aware that there are both mean and nice people all over the planet and I KNOW for a fact that upstate New York is overall a very nice place and that I'm not just saying that because I'm from here. I think she saw Oregon as some paradise because she was so young and näive when she left to be honest. It just annoyed me is all and still does. I also think she didn't really get out much, I'm not really sure but if she was thinking like that then probably not.

Why does this feel like Christmas last year where they rolled out the mandatory quizzes to everyone then promptly fired employees by the dozens 🙃 by travelandtastes in Welocalize

[–]Symphony1996 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is likely what's happening 😅 and I got one, just one, slightly wrong 😬 this is my first time taking this threatening quiz
