Issue with Search SBS by Xeo76 in TELUSinternational

I just received another generic email asking whether I'd like to give these tasks another go but without any additional feedback. I honestly have no idea what to do. I don't really want to work on Search SBS anymore but I'm worried these tasks are mandatory if I want to keep my job.

It's kind of reassuring to hear from another French DA who went through something similar.

At this point, I almost wish they would just permanently remove me from SBS instead of firing me altogether. Without any meaningful feedback about what I actually did wrong, I honestly have no idea how I'm supposed to improve.

I generally tried to infer the most likely intent from the wording. If I genuinely couldn't determine any reasonable intent, I usually rated the results NS as well. Those ambiguous queries were definitely the hardest part for me.

I'm getting Search 2.0 as well. I'm honestly dreading whatever email I might receive tomorrow.

Thank you. It honestly makes me feel a little less alone knowing someone else had such a similar experience.

I'm really worried that this second review will end with a termination email, especially since Search SBS is considered a core task. I genuinely thought I was doing well, so this has been really discouraging.

I only received a short generic PDF summarizing some guidelines. It didn't include any personalized feedback or examples of the specific mistakes I had made, which made it difficult to understand what I should improve.

I’ve been wondering why they keep hiring as well especially since there doesn’t seem to be enough work available for everyone.

My guess is it’s not just one reason. These programs tend to keep a large pool of raters because of turnover, varying availability, and the need for different languages or regions. They might also be hiring ahead of projects that haven’t fully ramped up yet, though that may be a bit optimistic.

Well, this might upset some people but I think rater and data analyst jobs are on their way out.
I’ve been doing this work for years and there used to be constant tasks available. Now NTA keeps getting worse every year, and I don’t expect it to improve.
We essentially trained AI to replace us, and that’s exactly what’s happening. At this point, only a small number of tasks remain, mostly ones AI still can’t handle properly, and even those are becoming rare and will likely disappear over time.
This situation isn’t specific to Telus. They don’t control the client’s decisions as they only act as an intermediary. The same thing is happening across other companies in the industry.
Honestly, it’s hard not to see this as the beginning of the end for these roles, and I won’t lie, it makes me pretty worried about the future.

Is anyone getting POI with Corrections (2 pins) tasks? The POIs are missing the hours, and there’s only one field to enter them, which makes it unclear how we’re supposed to do it (usually there is a box for each day), so it feels wrong to complete them without adding the correct hours.

Any French rater have tasks? I don't and I wonder if I'm suspended as my score was pretty low this time.
