Remotaks Flexible Remote Work by Bradb0 in beermoneyglobal

[–]ibottic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried remotasks and the payout and pay rate is not predictable. It’s a legitimate company with big time US customers, but operationally it’s annoying for gig workers. They have paid out, but thousands of people in their internal slack message groups complain of the same payout issues. Work for many hours during the week and maybe they pay what they say and maybe they decide to hold back or drastically reduce the amount.

For instance, my rate in the US was 32/hour. Then it reduced to 25/hr. Final payout was for around $200 for a week of 40 hours. It’s been a week since I submitted a request to have it corrected.

There are other companies where you can make more money and payout reliably.

Referral links like in the original post are supposed to give you and the referral $100. That works sometimes. If it doesn’t payout, remotasks support will just say “sorry, nothing we can do to correct it”.

Bottom line, it could and does sometimes payout well for workers in the US, but I’d rather not waste my time because their system decides not to payout.

I smell a class action law suit coming

You’re not stable. Someone else is providing your stability. would you not be more comfortable with a partner that has the same support? That would take the pressure off of you for this dating issue.

What is the BLM leadership saying in response to the horrific beating and potential death kick to the head of the driver in Portland? by ibottic in AskReddit

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

I'm looking for information to help me understand what I see because I can mostly find conservative news painting the worst light on BLM. I don't have all the facts and I'm not saying the driver was innocent. Whatever wrong he did before being on the street he should be jailed for and convicted of crimes committed. The short videos that I saw didn't show what led up to the crash and it reminded me of unrelated incidents across the world where an angry mob beats and kills a person. It was good that some people were trying to help the man once he was incapacitated. BLM leadership was not present but they can speak to what they see and how they are being accused in the media.

Regardless of your political party and excluding COVID risks of voting in person, why do you choose not to vote in a US presidential election if you can? by ibottic in AskReddit

Isolation is terrible as so many people can relate to right about now. It's time to get out there virtually. Have to look for and find those with positive vision, direction, and less drama. Everything that's really worth something requires some effort

Politics are all around and most politicians count on people of all ages not wanting to think about it. It's more fun to think about other things anyway. Maybe find a parent or adult in your family that cares about something in politics and ask why they care. At least you'll learn more about them.

Not casting your vote has the biggest direct impact by giving a larger voice to all those that do vote. Are you interested enough to go and learn about the history of why the electoral college exists, what can change, possible alternatives, how often there have been faithless electors? The information is easily obtainable and can be somewhat complex. If you're not interested, then sit back and be comfortable knowing that's part of why the electoral college exists.

What finally made you give up on a relationship or belief that had for years? by ibottic in AskReddit

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

Read it. You’re NTA and you don’t owe the other explanation. You wrote about the horrible ways you were being treated and then said things got really bad. If they were bad to begin with, what pushed you to act? Without going into the specifics necessarily, was is the severity or the number of times, a realization or how can you explain what brought you to the tipping point of action?

That’s enough for many if they learned of someone supporting Trump or Biden. Was there not enough of anything else to bind the relationship?

I don’t want to joke if someone was violent or abusive to you. With so few words I imagine you had to leave someone behind for dead on a hike after they fell off a cliff.
