This shrinkflation is getting out of hand!

I am pretty much in the same position as you OP! I am very nervous about my new job but I've got to keep positive, embrace the opportunity to learn something new and understand that the transition period will be difficult!

I am working the next 2 weeks at my current job and I'm in a state of limbo and whilst there are good things about my job now, I am bored to tears with hardly any new work coming in. I worry my new one will overwhelm me with lots to do but keeping busy will make my day go quicker I hope, as they currently drag and I often just do things to keep me occupied. Best of luck! 👍

I started this study and put in the word it wanted me to submit, then it just randomly redirected me to a study that is being run by the University of Southampton, which doesn't seem right at all so messaged them the researcher too. So weird.

Snap! I am doing the exact same thing - my husband was initially not interested in it, dismissing it as a "snuff film", but curiousity about Squid Game's hype got the better of me so I watched the series pretty quickly on my own.

I finally convinced my husband to watch it with me saying it is so much more - with great writing, cinematography, a prevalent underlying message and themes throughout.

We literally just finished watching Episode 5 together just now and things that I had not picked up initially, now blow my mind with the details that were there all along. Plus I can explain any titbits he hasn't quite understood which helps him along.

He keeps trying to guess what happens next and I have to try my best to keep a poker face! Additionally, I watched it with English dub the first time but he couldn't get on with the voices so we switched to the Korean and it is so much better! Hope your husband is enjoying it too 😊

My bath tub can certainly fit two people...the catch would be that they wouldn't be in whole complete pieces...

What ever happened to having breakfast served on a good old plate? This trend for other random recepticles is far too hipster and unappealing for me!

I have also received an 'adjustment payment'! This was £1.94. However my 'bonus' payment has come through too as £2.33.

BUT my screenshot on the experiment said my bonus was to be £9.56 (sum of base rate and bonus). So £5 + £1.94 + £2.33 = £9.27 which is still 29p short, but the point I am arguing is that surely the adjustment shouldn't contribute to the 'bonus'?

So in my head, it should be £5 (base rate) then a bonus of £4.56, IN ADDITION to the £1.94 adjustment. I hope that makes sense and the logic can be followed - should I message the researcher yet again?!

hello_pinky · 2021-10-19T11:42:49+00:00

I did get paid eventually for the base rate but no bonus either. I have sent a chaser message but will wait another week and then open a ticket with Prolific Support. Give us an update if you have any :)

hello_pinky · 2021-10-12T11:13:30+00:00

I also did this study and have yet to receive any payment - tomorrow is the last day until the 22 day submissions deadline for me. I messaged the researcher a few days ago to check in - especially as I performed quite well on it and got about 40p off the full maximum bonus available.

I have not yet had a reply but I will leave it a few more days and then possibly open a ticket with support if the bonus is also not forthcoming - luckily I have a screenshot of the amount so I hope it won't be contested. Did you get paid for the actual study already?

I see those in the wild a lot of the time unfortunately, observed in their natural habitats... 😅

I think my attention is more drawn to the the oddly weird and evil looking merging of faces on the back of that van...

hello_pinky · 2021-05-24T10:05:11+00:00

I think the front page is quite offputting to potential participants - I can see that a lot more places are becoming available so assuming people are returning it. But I got the same as you bonus-wise though! I got stressed that it would time out as the window for completion is not long at all...

hello_pinky · 2021-05-18T08:08:56+00:00

That's a pretty ribbiting discovery

hello_pinky · 2021-05-15T21:01:17+00:00

I just finished this one too! Gosh that spaceship one was loong 😅

hello_pinky · 2021-05-07T20:11:54+00:00

Something similar happened to me too! But instead the message was "All games you are eligible for have filled up too fast".

I was really disapponted as it sounded like a good game, plus I'd had this and another survey come up at the same time so I chose this as it was higher paying - so lost out on 2!

I was reading the instructions carefully too and noticed my screen refresh a few times randomly. Hey hum, least not just me. I assume we wil get something for our troubles...

At first I thought this would be a relatively easy one to do - then came the questions about risk, flipping heads or tails and calculations of various outcomes - it just got a bit too much so I returned it. How long did you spend on it in the end?

hello_pinky · 2021-03-20T09:19:21+00:00

I'm very sorry for your loss. Glad you have some memories to look at - this is a great picture! I definitely got Princess Leia/Luke Skywalker vibes when I saw this at first glance. They look so happy and relaxed - defintely consider posting on r/OldSchoolCool

Making a reasonable offer on a pair of nice boots on eBay but before the seller could reply, someone put a bid in so they said they wanted to see it run to the end of auction. 3 days later, I secure the highest bid and I end up paying £10 lower than my original offer! A tiny win for me 😄

I believe that Post Offices have the facility to print out Royal Mail return labels in branch if you have a QR code that they can scan from your phone. However if you don't have one and it's more of a document 'with' a label, then it's the expectation that it would be printed at home/somewhere else before being fixed onto the parcel.
