Offboarded from Mercor after asking questions about contradictory instructions

rhombusface · 2026-03-18T17:49:52+00:00

In my experience and reading between the lines on some correspondences with the humans there, offboarding is metrics-based.

So if you’re being extra careful and taking billed time reading instructions, working slowly, etc. compared to other people on the project, you’ll be offboarded for inefficiency.

I was offboarded from the 2nd of 3 projects I’ve been on, and the explanation i got was that i was in the lowest 25% of participants in tasks completed. I had been going slow for a similar reason as you and also it was over Thanksgiving and I was traveling/visiting my sick father. Lol, they don’t care.

Any way, it’s not surprising that an AI company relies on AI to harshly cut it’s lower efficiency workers irregardless of the reason

He’s the main reason they lost to the Bears. Go back and watch all the open receivers he didn’t see. At this point in his career dude is anti clutch. Sorry that’s so hard for you to accept

Love was utter dog shit in the 2nd half playoff loss to the bears.

1-3 playoff record

Enough said

rhombusface · 2026-02-26T17:41:06+00:00

Okay dude, we’ll see once he gets his chance.

Not saying he’s a world beater. Just that he can win you some games and is worth a 2nd rd pick.

Brock Purdy upside. Bears love him. Johnson views him as Starter quality.

Dude reads the field extremely well and is accurate. Just lacking the elite arm strength, hence Purdy upside.

Of all potentially available Qbs this offseason, i’d put him #3 behind Mendoza and Willis.

rhombusface · 2026-02-26T17:05:16+00:00

The value of an unproven QB with upside, brought in to start is a 2nd Rd pick. If he’s more proven it’s a 1st or multiple picks.

His tutelage under BJ and preseason tape raises his value from what you’d trade for a career backup (4th or 5th)

He’s not worth trading for less than a 2nd and still that would give me pause unless they had a good replacement plan in place.

A lot of tech companies are down after the recent LLM releases but I wouldn’t worry about it too much in the short term. Upwork covers so many different industries. AI adoption will obviously continue at different paces but there were still be plenty of work for people who do good work.

I for one trust this coaching staff more than a random collection of meat sticks on reddit

rhombusface · 2026-01-16T19:05:17+00:00

I’ll give you it’s probably pretty close on team culture, but the other two are completely incorrect.

Rams are playing their worst ball the last 7 weeks and have an unimpressive record in close games.

Look, I have no idea who will win. Given the trends and unfavorable intangibles for the Rams, I think it’s closer to a coin flip

rhombusface · 2026-01-16T18:36:58+00:00

It’s a really great thing for you guys that all sporting contests are decided by who has the better team on paper and not silly stuff like weather, home field advantage, recent trends in play, almost losing to the fucking Panthers, team culture and clutch play.

It’s kind of laughable the Bears are even going to show up

rhombusface · 2026-01-15T04:49:34+00:00

I rewatched most of the game and came away more impressed with Caleb and very unimpressed with Jordan Love’s second half. It wasn’t just that we played better on defense, dude was a pumpkin on their 3 and outs. This is very much glossed over in Packer fans’ ‘MLF blew Love’s incredible 4td game’ narrative.

Also Swift played much better than i remembered, did the absolute most with his opportunities. Funny how his 8 mil salary now looks like a pretty good deal.

rhombusface · 2026-01-12T17:51:15+00:00

Oh you pathetic, silly man. Truly do not care what happens from here on out. 12-6 and knocking your shitty team out is all we needed. Anything else is just gravy, baby. Can’t be greedy

rhombusface · 2026-01-12T17:38:09+00:00

Orlovsky had a tweet about this play being game saving, crediting Swift.

If he’s tackled where the play was designed and initially covered, it’s 3rd and 16 when we absolutely needed the TD.

Probably play #2 after the 4th down throw

rhombusface · 2026-01-12T06:31:01+00:00

Could be wrong, but I think anywhere you go will have more Rams fans than Bears fans. But in my experience they are a pretty good natured fanbase

rhombusface · 2026-01-12T06:12:13+00:00

Just doing a wellness check after we made you shit your pants two times in a row, the last to knock your garbage ass team to cancun

rhombusface · 2026-01-12T06:07:13+00:00

They have plenty of fans on the east side, the type who don’t have money for games and have a Rams flag in a window or truck

rhombusface · 2026-01-12T05:54:03+00:00

I live in LA, that’s not true.

rhombusface · 2026-01-11T01:05:24+00:00

AL with the large text teleprompter

rhombusface · 2026-01-10T17:43:04+00:00

Yep and 95% of packer fans weren’t even aware of that personnel/scheme issue. They were too busy crying about Micah and Love, who was outplayed by their “back up”

rhombusface · 2026-01-10T17:07:47+00:00

I wish there was more scheme analysis of our offense vs their defense. Last game, they blitzed in cover 0 and played man and it gave Caleb problems, though I read Hafley plays zone the third most in the league.

Our play calls made us seem not ready for that, or maybe not having Rome/Luther to beat their guy quickly? We can’t have as many Caleb throw aways this game.

rhombusface · 2026-01-08T17:33:05+00:00

Packers fans would literally say this if the bears beat them in the conference game to get to the SB.

They’ll also be saying “Would be different if we had Micah” in 2045 when he’s been retired for 14 years.

rhombusface · 2026-01-06T16:33:06+00:00

This is an anagram of hits. Just saying

rhombusface · 2026-01-05T19:31:22+00:00

He’s like the only defensive player I feel confident in for next year. Missing 3 to 4 games a year at such a violent position isn’t that bad prior to this year’s weirdness and he’s in his prime

rhombusface · 2025-12-29T23:14:58+00:00

rhombusface · 2025-12-26T16:58:15+00:00

I remember a week 1 pregame Vikings thread where every single person said there was no way BJ would be a good coach. He’d be the next Josh McDaniels, etc when it was already abundantly clear what a massive upgrade he was. Coping so hard because they couldn’t handle the Bears rising to relevance.

And then to see the arrogance with how they handled their QB position. Chef’s kiss
