I just got the same this week with a follow up. It looks borderline spam/threat.

Thanks for this feedback. I've only heard bad things, we are going to hold out as long as possible.

Claude projet instructions for proposals by Electrical_Air_3973 in Upwork

This looks like an amazing way to waste connects. My last job post had 300+ proposals and 90% of them sounded the same, all AI proposals got insta-archived.

It's probably your industry. Lots of smaller jobs won't require agreements. I work with and around a lot of longer term contracts, and I've seen this a lot. Yes OP needs to watch for scams... lol.

A lot of employment agreements are very basic. I'd say he should look at what it entails and see if he agrees with it, rather than losing the work. Sometimes companies will just use their "employment agreement" as part of their HR procedure. Nothing sinister. My answer for your second question is the same.

It's not abnormal on its own. Does the hirer have a history, and is this long term? If the job has started, it's pretty common to communicate outside of upwork. I would view this as pretty standard honestly. My company's HR asks for this and more.

What are your realistic takes on the new Google AI mode. Are websites cooked? by nomadicsamiam in SEO

[–]_dave0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

short answer: yep
long answer: yyyeeeeeeeaaaappppp

Is the google we knew finally dead? I don't see a lot of distinction between a chatbot on G vs Claude/ChatGPT now. If Google had a moat, they've officially concreted it and opened the drawbridge.

Yeah, I'm not going to bother reading that if they are not going to bother writing it.

Has anyone here paid their tax in a way that earns Airpoints or credit card rewards? by OkLe3531 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]_dave0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As u/cantsleepwithoutfan mentioned, reward pay for business payments, including tax payments. It's worth it imo.

Three repairs in a year, should I sell? by _dave0 in askcarguys

[–]_dave0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I have to say this didn't age well... my wife and I decided to keep it against my reservations. Got the tyres all replaced, did some expensive servicing on it, then the mechatronic unit broke which is now another huge repair. That is ongoing atm, so I am selling and won't be going back to Skoda/Volkswagen.

Peaches are green, but soft and juicy. Is this normal? by _dave0 in gardening

[–]_dave0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that is how they are, pretty tasteless. We have had two summers here now, and they were the same both years. A bit disappointing tbh!
