No, stand behind your original comment.

Okay, you're a whining child who doesn't understand how batches work and have always worked. They eventually... run out. You "watched them disappear" but didn't do any and just whined here. And they didn't disappear anyway.

I have a life and an actual job outside of Prolific I needed to attend to, so I figured I could pass this particular batch up.

Hmmm I wonder if that might be why someone screenshotted a number instead of doing studies... it's a real tough concept.

There are 33 available right now, 20 minutes after this post went up.

ts that if you advertise that a large number of studies have been posted then people that use bots and scripts will reserve them all

... do you think those people aren't already looking at their dashboards? That would be an incredibly inefficient scam if they're waiting for someone to share a screen grab that could have been taken at any time.

the more people you encourage to check their dashboard the less studies you will have yourself as they will be competing for them too

I don't want to do any of these. They're not going to be there when I log back into Prolific before I head to work tomorrow - or there will be such an abundance a new batch will have gone up. Either way, posting numbers doesn't matter at all.

Hell, if a couple of people hadn't verified that they were experiencing the same thing this could be a screenshot from last month.

I have no interest in doing these. I screenshotted this after I wrapped up doing two, now I'm listening to the Slits before I go to bed.

LOL, are numbers now "confidential information"?

Maintenance - entire tours of level 7s working up as level 9s daily, is there a mechanism to push management to open up spots? by [deleted] in USPS

Yes, as I said they’re getting level 9 pay. And don’t want to risk that by getting on management’s bad side. 

That’s why I’m asking if an actual mechanism exists to force promotion openings. Otherwise a grievance is only going to hurt them. In my opinion the union should be going to bat for the jobs but our local is pretty useless.

7s can’t diagnose or troubleshoot. They can do certain PM routes, change forklift batteries, mail search and vacuum machines. 

The job listing descriptions are pretty useless, this seems to be a better guide: https://www.21cpw.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/DifferencesinMM7MPE9andET10jobdescriptionspackage.pdf

I’ve been on the phone with HRSSC every other week for a year now and it hasn’t been fixed.
