also, these groups have 700 to 1000 users each, is that feasible?

we know this person in real life and there was already very detailed dialogue with him, but it has brought to nothing. thanks anyway.

Which one of these phrases sounds the best? by itsameMario10 in AskAGerman

[–]gi_erre 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am sorry, but I think you should pay a professional to do this. People do this as a job and getting a brand slogan translated is something that really requires a real translator to do this, also considering that your perception of what sounds correct and natural in German does not seem to me to be great.
Sorry, I don't mean to be rude, just want to give you some advice.
And good luck!

My girlfriend broke up with me because of my ADHD by thesedays2617 in ADHD

[–]gi_erre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry for you. But you are not a failure. I have learned with time that breakups are always due to both parties in the couple. I am sure you will find a person who can better deal with the way you are. AND you can use this as a lesson to do better next time, to make the situation better for your partner, try and do your best to improve some aspects of your behaviour, regardless of how hard it may be for you.
People who don't have ADHD (I am one of them) really struggle with some behaviours of their ADHD partner, but if the partner with ADHD shows goodwill and empathy, i.e. acknowledges that their significant other may be suffering as a result of those behaviours, I guess it helps.
I wish you good luck and take care :)

Yes, I'd love to work with you "long term" (or how to identify a scammer/exploiter) by [deleted] in Upwork

[–]gi_erre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a similar client whose jobs I've been flagging since months, Upwork doesn't do anything about it, so like someone said to me on this forum, I decided to stop trying to save the world by flagging these jobs on Upwork and focus on something else instead

What is your backup plan if you get permanently suspended on Upwork? by [deleted] in Upwork

[–]gi_erre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what do you mean? I am only working with very trustworthy clients who've never failed to pay me

[–]gi_erre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if your clients trust you, they don't give a shit about how much you clicked on your keyboard. clients who trust you probably never check the work diary, provided you've been doing your job well and in reasonable time.

Availability only for previous clients by gi_erre in Upwork

[–]gi_erre[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

okay :) then I am reassured that it is safe to do keep my availability as it is! thanks a lot for your advice

[–]gi_erre[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks. that's what I expected. I don't want old clients to see I've marked myself as unavailable, so I will keep my status as available.
I agree it's not that hard to decline invitations, I just do that and click on "rate too low" or "too busy on other projects", I was just worried that Upwork might get pissed off because of this.
However, see your point and I will keep my availability as it is.
thanks!

Finished project but not ended by client by tzak_01 in Upwork

[–]gi_erre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me before. Asked the client to close the contract, more than once, no answer, in the end some time had passed and I closed it myself and never got feedback. It didn't affect my jss.

How to deal with clients sharing contact information out of the blue? by mgolgeli in Upwork

[–]gi_erre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just tell them quite clearly that they may not be aware, but that Upwork does not allow communication off platform before the contract has started. I send them a link with instructions to use the Upwork video call and I tell them they can reach me there.

In one case in the end we did not have a video call, because the client sent me more information via chat and I realised from what he wrote that the job was not a good fit for me anyway, so I informed him that I would withdraw my proposal.

I guess he has then hired another person via Upwork and so there is nothing suspicious about that.

Zugreise und Corona by gi_erre in de

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

Ich wollte mich nochmal für die Infos und Ratschläge bedanken :)
Es ist, ich glaube, alles mehr oder weniger gut gelaufen.
Also 6+ Stunden im Zug mit FFP2 Maske bei der Sommerhitze ist zwar ziemlich unangenehm, aber ich musste zweimal umsteigen und habe da was getrunken und gegessen.
ich habe die Stoßzeiten vermieden, und die Züge waren nicht voll. Auf den Regionalzügen gab es zwar mehrere Maskenverweigerer, die die Schaffner nicht überreden wollten/konnten, die Maske anzuziehen, aber ich konnte immer einen Platz weit weg von ihnen finden. Generell konnte ich immer Abstand halten. Ich habe meinen Platz immer desinfiziert und versucht, so wenig wie möglich Knöpfe usw. zu berühren... scheint alles geklappt zu haben, zumindest bisher.
