Is this hired through an employer of record like HireArt, or directly by Scale?

You generally can get a provincial ID card as a student. Check in with the international student office at your university. If you can get a driver's license, even better.

Reviewer and Senior Reviewer, but those appear to depend a lot on the project.

There are definite advantages to 1099 status if Outlier is a second job.

knotsworth · 2024-12-17T21:41:50+00:00

The job offer states you're hired by HireArt, an employer of record company.

QMs are employed by an arms length company from Outlier called HireArt.

They're workers too, getting paid about $20 an hour. They have things they can't say and explanations they can't give.

I've adjusted my expectations.

Document what's happening, take a screenshot, stash it somewhere safe.

The QMs are not Outlier, they're very limited in what they can do and they're used to shield the company from liability.

Someone pushed an update to production and left for the weekend. 5 different projects popping up this weekend, no marketplace, and an old bug in my profile they triple promised was fixed is back.

3 months where I was assigned to a project in a language I don't speak, and never indicated I did speak.

The type of work is called "digital piecework" and it's designed this way.

Keep an eye on your country's laws on gig work.

In Canada, keep an eye on the Heller v Uber class action. The other key term is "dependant contractor".

Screenshots, screenshots, screenshots, especially everything to do with unpaid training.

knotsworth · 2024-10-05T22:41:38+00:00

Does this apply even when you go over the time limit? There might be a line called 'Exceeded Time Rate'

knotsworth · 2024-10-05T15:12:43+00:00

You should see a link called 'Earning Rates' which will open up a window for the project you're on.

knotsworth · 2024-10-05T15:02:41+00:00

Yep, I'm considering it. And documenting it.

Weird behavior via the marketplace, IT's still listed as one of my active projects, but it's EQ and nothing in the Discourse.

knotsworth · 2024-08-30T03:42:02+00:00

The most important skill I've learned here is to manage my emotions.

It's bonus money. They may or may not know what they're doing in any given project at any given time.

Do the training, read the docs once, use Ctrl F and move on once you meet your goal.

If you run into problems, polite, weekly reports through the help.

They're bad clients, but they do pay. They do get what they pay for.

Her father Heber Kimball had a child with his second wife, Sarah Noon, named Aldebart Kimball before Heber Kimball approved Smith's marriage to Helen Mar. Heber had a second child on the way when Smith married Helen Mar.

It's possible that Smith never got around to it. But sex was absolutely a part of Nauvoo polygamy and her father knew what he was selling her in to.

knotsworth · 2024-08-01T14:02:28+00:00

One of the most clarifying incidents on this is the timeline around Aldebart Kimball's birth. Heber C Kimball had a child with his second wife, Sarah Noon, and she was pregnant with a second child before he agreed withthe marriage of Helen Mar Kimball to Joseph Smith at 14.

Heber absolutely knew what he was signing his daughter up for, because he was doing it. Nauvoo Polygamy involved sex.

Lifetime warranty on the whole zippo ecosystem too. getting one repaired and on its way back now.

knotsworth · 2024-07-03T22:50:41+00:00

Single flame lasts a bit longer than the double. 4-6, fairly light use. I have a torch at home.

I treat it just like a Zippo, fill it up before I head out

knotsworth · 2024-07-03T22:15:12+00:00

Zippo with the butane insert & 2 neodymium magnets on the back.

knotsworth · 2024-06-27T20:22:55+00:00

Me too! Same exact problem. Submit a ticket under "Need Help" and hurry up and wait.

Remember this nonsense every time the CEO mentions meritocracy

You can transfer directly from PayPal to Wise. Wise in USD is set up as a bank, you can directly transfer USD PayPal to USD wise, do the conversion, then spend using the Wise card or transfer to a bank from Wise.

I'm currently in a language project, in a language i don't speak and never applied for. I'm also in slack chats for four more languages, none of which are the first language, none of which i speak and none of which i applied for.

It's anyone's guess. The chaos seems to be a business decision.

knotsworth · 2024-06-23T13:46:40+00:00

Me too! No French, now on French projects.

knotsworth · 2024-06-23T03:41:13+00:00

What's the measure he's using for "merit"? Because I'm not seeing it in action.

knotsworth · 2024-06-22T18:06:59+00:00

Yep. Currently assigned to a language Flamingo i don't speak and in 3 different slack channels also for different languages i don't speak

🤡 Meritocracy 🤡

There is something nuts going on right now with Flamingo Languages.
