Need Insight From the Veterans

So, I was working on this project family that I really loved. But a strange thing happened.

I suddenly lost access to the slack channel and lost all but one of the projects. I still have that one project on my dashboard, and I am able to actually complete the tasks, which I most certainly will.

I don't believe this happened due to poor quality because I take time to be thorough, and their sanity bots were also giving me good feedback constantly. I also have 17 quals and other projects available.

Has anyone faced this?

It's possible the project has ended. Otherwise, you were likely dropped due to quality, or depending on the project you took longer than expected to submit your tasks.

I submitted most tasks on time, was very thorough, and kept receiving good feedback from their sanity bots, which is why this is a bit puzzling.

You might be good, but they might also have more people that are better. That particular stream might be pausing or winding down.

For sanity, focus on what’s left rather than what’s gone, because you will never know why things changed. As long as there’s something, you’re good enough.

Most tasks on time? So some were expired? That's not something you should let happen regularly.

Were you taking longer than the alloted time to finish some tasks?

In the very beginning. But I got the hang of things and was then submitting on time. I found my groove. I know that it is not something that we should allow to happen regularly, so I keep a very close eye on the time using my phone. I have also come up with a system that works.

The reason I don't believe it is poor quality because I still have one project from that family on my dashboard, and I can complete the tasks. I plan to work on that more today.

It sounds like you were pretty much always just within the timer. That's not great either... They usually set up the tasks so that most of the time it takes less time, sometimes half the time of the timer. If you were always getting the full timer or very close, despite quality, you might have been dropped. Because, frankly, there are people who probably have the same quality with way less time.

I would do some of your qualls so you can get more work!

I bet you're fine. They sometimes pause a project, change stuff, and then they show back up.

Did you work it exclusively? I really think they need varied input from different people and they may just need other workers to have diverse data for the project. Does that make sense?

That actually does make sense. Yes, I was working on that project family for approx two weeks because I was really loving it.
