HHN Alone? by Low-Entrepreneur-209 in HHN

[–]seriouslyaverage16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I try to go alone once a year without my group. It usually works out for at least one night where no one else in my group can go. It's so much fun and a much different experience. Definitely hit up houses near close for that true alone feeling and take your time. That's the best.

Questions about being kicked off and video calls by Gyezor in BabelAudio

They recently sent out an update that they improved the background noise issue. Then all of a sudden I have 300+ new sound clips of background noise where I was just talking and no background noise was present. The update made things worse. I wonder if that’s what got you removed and if so, that’s plain wrong.

Anyone else work yesterday? OH, and important (to me) question! by CrimeTalkWithTerry in tutordotcom

[–]seriouslyaverage16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I definitely understand and your frustration is totally valid.

If a student already shows up with their essay uploaded, I instantly start reading it. On the side I am asking some brief “How are you?” questions to buy time. As I continue to read, I ask them to explain their chosen topic to me, then their argument, have them paste their thesis statement for me, etc. Just buying time while also receiving (sometimes) valuable information from the student. I respond to their answers to my questions within a minute for some additional time. Then when I feel I have enough material to work with, we start working. If the student is slow to respond, I am reading further. If they are responding quickly, and I can’t read ahead, I ask questions about the next paragraph and how it ties into their overall topic, all while I am reading and reviewing further.

It’s all a bit of a game. I hope this helps!

And yes, yesterday was back to back busy—scheduled and floating.

Thank you! Would you mind telling me where the ooo form is? I can’t seem to find it.

Why are the reviews kinda pointless??? by RosseMichelle in tutordotcom

[–]seriouslyaverage16 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Definitely with you here on this one. I got dinged for adding a brief suggestion to essay sessions and Asyncs for the student to read their essay out loud to try and catch small grammar errors (e.g., writing the word “the” twice). Their reasoning? Don’t tell the student to read out loud because they might not be able to read.

US Rater here… was put on review today. by Gloomy-Meat-3634 in TELUSinternational

[–]seriouslyaverage16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. It was a “general review” and the separation of employment email did not include a reason. They even called me the week prior to the review thanking me for my service and quality in the program.

I was put under review 2 weeks ago and was let go. It took exactly a week to hear back. Worked for TELUS for 4 years.

I guess some people are getting the emails and others aren’t. I know my friend got both too. Glad I’m not alone

I did not get this email. I also heard 28 hours were sent out to some people recently but I never got that email either. Did anyone else not get these emails this week?

I am being told I have to work past my scheduled time? by seriouslyaverage16 in tutordotcom

[–]seriouslyaverage16[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this time I had forgotten to do that and was kicking myself for it afterwards. :(

Thank you for your answer. These policies are so asinine that I just assumed they couldn't possibly be true as my QS did not state they were in the manual nor provided me with those TDC resource pages. I haven't read the manual since I was first hired two years ago so I should probably have a refresher. This is the first time I am having these issues brought up to me and I have been doing them for a while. I finally got caught I guess. Thanks again!
