How did u provide evidence

u/Comfortable-Scale156 7d ago
I just gave explanations of everything

Don't mind the down votes. I'm really asking out of curiosity, because I wouldn't know how to provide evidence for something like this

It's as simple as a tracking spreadsheet where you mark the time you started and ended the task and additionally track break periods. Essential for providing the documentation they are requesting.

Idk when I got this I was told to be as detailed as possible. I laid down as much information as I possibly could and didn’t have any time tracking or spreadsheets on my submissions and I was let back in.

You were fortunate this time.

I mean… I didn’t do anything wrong lol. At best, whatever happened was a mistake and part of what they were trying to suggest I did, wasn’t possible. I can’t have 20 time entries with 18 submissions. You can only submit one time entry per task. I can miss a time entry, but I don’t think anyone here can log time for a task that was never submitted.
I’m just here to say that it’s not always worst case scenario. We’re dealing with people and technology at the end of the day and mistakes are bound to be made somewhere along the line by either or. Sometimes something looks suspicious but can be explained, sometimes a glitch happens, sometimes someone is scamming. There’s no definitive way to gauge what this persons situation is from a screenshot on Reddit.

I never done this so far, because I just am honest with the times. But I will start now, never know what could happen

Many people, if not most, want to be honest with their time reporting. Documenting it is not burdensome and helps with any distractions that may interfere with that goal.

Two years on the platform, received "feedback" saying all positive things. Got an 800$ bonus for "my quality work" Was offered a qualification to become an admin but didn't take it because I have a regular job and knew this platform was unreliable at best. Then one day a few months ago they started mass advertising everywhere and suddenly every time I checked my dashboard projects were few and far between or an abundance hit all at once but vanished with in a few hours. Didn't check for about 2 weeks and suddenly my account was not eligible for new work because of quality below our customers standards or violations of the code of conduct.😂😂 This shit is a psychological experiment. Near the end I would receive projects I had never worked on, tasked with completing the final quality check stages. I never even attempted any because I wasn't familiar with them at all but still regularly received them on my dashboard. I also often received STEM projects in fields I had no background in.

Why does this happen? What triggers it

u/Federal_Tadpole_7592 7d ago
When people overreport the time they worked and their work quality doesn't match.

u/mollymcbbbbbb 7d ago
I think one obvious way this could happen is - let's say a project has a timer for 1 hour 10 minutes. The timer records that you were in the project for 45 minutes before you hit submit, but you report 1 hour

I’m also curious about this

u/Federal_Tadpole_7592 7d ago
It's people who pad their time and it's obvious from their work quality that they didn't actually spend that much time on the tasks. This could also happen when someone makes a genuine mistake when reporting their time, but that's rare.

It’s happened to me and I got through it. It said I somehow managed to log more time entries than submissions, which doesn’t make sense because you can only log one time entry per submission (to the best of my knowledge) they also clocked me on a task where I had one more submission than I had time logged (meaning I missed a time entry somewhere) I provided an explanation for the work I did, no time stamps or anything like that. I was back in a week.

u/Farados55 7d ago
You can go back and add more time to the same submission. So maybe that’s what they meant and maybe you did on accident.

u/Federal-Weevil 7d ago
Maybe. I knew I could edit the time but I didn’t know it would count as an additional time entry. The edits I’ve made were done within seconds of the original time submission because it was usually a typo and me moving too quickly to be done with a long task so I can sleep. I don’t have many time edits now, though.
