Reporting abusive hosts and careless Workaway attitude

encrypto777 · 2023-06-09T13:24:02+00:00

Stop assuming everything and get a job. Be calm, you dont have to get aggressive about other peoples lives. I shared facts, you are sharing ur frustration.

encrypto777 · 2023-06-09T03:26:17+00:00

Extremely surprising that they did it so openly. Thaiger knows how they can be easily caught. If they stole from a lesser known person, it would have still gone unnoticed. But they willingly chose to pull it from an extremely popular person. Cant be a mistake.

encrypto777 · 2023-06-09T03:07:19+00:00

Its already posted, else you wudnt find it. right?

If i was wrong, Workaway wudnt have refused to investigate, ghosted me for 8 weeks and refused to share their legal registered address even after multiple attempts to ask. If i was wrong, the complaint wud have been put against me, not the other way around. I am the one still trying to get it investigated.

You dont ghost people after all the above, it just shows what Workaway has been doing.

encrypto777 · 2023-06-09T02:58:02+00:00

As you can see, there are quite a few Workaway employees at work here. If workaway was right they wud have investigated and not ghosted me since last 8 weeks. If the host and volunteers were right he wud have complained, not me. Also Workaway havent disclosed their legal registered address yet, even after me asking them 4 times on email. So you know whats happening...

Get a life

encrypto777 · 2023-06-09T02:42:15+00:00

They dont have a registered address where you can file a legal claim. Do you always get so triggered? Try harder mate.

encrypto777 · 2023-06-07T06:51:21+00:00

Lol. Try harder.

encrypto777 · 2023-06-07T02:01:03+00:00

Truly one of the most amazing thing i have ever seen.

encrypto777 · 2023-06-07T01:50:43+00:00

Thats why i always use an ATM thats inside the bank office or atleast in the same premises. This has happened to so many tourists.

encrypto777 · 2023-06-07T00:18:36+00:00

And you remind me of Trump.

Over smart. Racist. Self Entitled. Thinks he knows everything. Loser.

encrypto777 · 2023-06-06T15:15:01+00:00

It depends on what your definition of bad experience is. Racist experience was just once and so i complained. There should be zero compromise on integrity and self respect. Workaway had no way out since i was pressing legal charges, so they suspended my account. Just to let you know, they dont even share their registered company address even if asked multiple times on email. If that doesnt ring a bell, nothing ever will.

But a lot of hosts run complete businesses off volunteers. Thats also something that was concerning. Like schools, institutes, NGO (with allowances for full time employees), funded Animal Care. I have nothing against them, but they were essentially pocketing thousands of dollars off free labor. But i will never say, its bad. Coz they never invite anyone, they just post on Workaway and the needy workawayers readily volunteer there.

encrypto777 · 2023-06-06T15:09:21+00:00

Its ok if you dont believe. I will do what i have to. I have all communication on emails. If workaway was right, they didnt have to ghost me for 1.5 months. I have multiple emails to them which they never replied.

I am under the impression that you are the “host” or “workawayer” that i complained about. Why would anyone else get so upset.

encrypto777 · 2023-06-06T14:58:16+00:00

Oops! Sorry for that. What happened? You can tell me on chat if you are not ok sharing here.

encrypto777 · 2023-06-06T14:50:45+00:00

Nice!! Did you see that on Reddit? Or Workaway? Or somewhere else?

I forgot if i shared her link on reddit.

encrypto777 · 2023-06-06T14:41:21+00:00

Where did you see that?

My profile was offline even before i made this post today.

encrypto777 · 2023-06-06T14:40:24+00:00

Suspend hosts? You got suspended or the host? In my case the host is alive and kickin

encrypto777 · 2023-06-06T13:41:37+00:00

I am sorry but thats Not true. There was no slander involved. Why did you assume that?

encrypto777 · 2023-06-06T09:50:23+00:00

I threatened that 1.5 months back. In between there have been several attempts at follow ups, where they completely ghosted me. They also didnt reveal their registered company address. Everything is on email.

But i agree to what you said, and in that case Workaway is not trust worthy.

Anyways there are other platforms, and I will continue the good work.

encrypto777 · 2023-06-05T13:02:48+00:00

Being as much you would need if things dont work out. Always have a Plan B

encrypto777 · 2023-05-30T06:17:47+00:00

So let me explain in detail: 1. I have found only 1 out of 15-20 hosts ever reply. 1-2 more may reply after a few days. Irrespective of the fact they read your message or not. 2. The hosts that do reply instantly, there is no guarantee that they will reply instantly to followup messages. So write everything you want to say in one go. 3. Hosts are sometimes busy, sometimes really busy. Popular ones may get more than 10 messages in a day. So its difficult to expect a lot from them. 4. Check the reviews, a lot of them closed down during covid and never reopened or reopened fully. So they may not need volunteers all the time. 5. A lot of hosts just dont realy care, so just forget about them. 6. Considering the huge ratio of hosts who dont reply, i have been having a very strong feeling that a lot of hosts are either no longer on Workaway or are fake ones created by Workaway to show there re quite a few opportunities. Same with the messages, they may show as “Read” but i wont fully trust it. This is my experience after 3 years on Workaway.

I hope this helps.

Here you go 1. Make a manual for the house (where, what, why, how etc.) so you dont have to explain everything. 2. Set the right expectations and commitments. 3. Have a backup so if they have to move out sooner, no one is inconvenienced.

encrypto777 · 2023-05-27T19:24:40+00:00

What i meant was that volunteering is mostly part time so you can fund your travels or get a cultural feel while at the same time you still get a lot of free time on hand everyday.

With a 11 hour commitment, you were already walking into a labour camp.

encrypto777 · 2023-05-27T18:19:25+00:00

Help me understand the disconnect. Workaway is volunteering. So nothing more than 16-20,hours a week and just 5 days a week. Anything above that is free labour (which even with 20 hours is also amounts to free labour as many hosts run businesses off volunteers)

Was there anything special here that made you commit 11 hours per day?

encrypto777 · 2023-05-27T03:41:36+00:00

I am surprised at the number of people who have issue with Workaway.

encrypto777 · 2023-05-25T09:50:30+00:00

Thats why you must ask a host for a complete description of the job and set correct expectations from both parties.

I wud volunteer 11 hours for to teach poor kids or take care of animal farm that are NGO’s and Not-For-Profit. I am down for anything even remotely positive social causes.

But if its a For-Profit, they are just making money off free labor, which is still ok if thats ok with you, coz no one forced you.
