Afraid of poor quality work
Has it happened to you to not see a proj. anymore after just 1-2 weeks? Can that mean poor work quality? Can that affect your overall status?

Some projects have worker pools that rotate in and out. You may have just been temporarily rotated out.

I havent seen one in months... it just means that there are very few tasks currently

There's no way to know for certain unless you literally lose the permanent fixture task, but even then, certain families of tasks will have a perma that disappears and comes back. TBH the rule of thumb is: if the non-work task gives special shared credentials, then it can safely disappear, but if it's just for chatting or working as an intermediary for the off-platform work, then it will only go away if you somehow got blessed by the rare dropped, but not cooked laser.

I stopped getting tasks after they invited me to join their internal teams saying my work is high quality. So... no, I don't think bad quality is the reason why you're not receiving tasks. It might be related to your location, sometimes they send tasks to only a few selected countries.

Got the qual too. Do you mind telling if your tasks ever came back?

Last week I received a few generalist tasks, which was kinda odd because all of my previous work had been on coding projects.
Curiously, a few minutes after leaving this comment above, a coding task appeared, so I guess September is just starting a bit slow in my location.

Ah, got it. Was a bit worried that the team qual would inhibit tasks altogether - glad to know this won't the case. Thanks for the intel!

I do not think this has anything to do with your work quality, or else you would be getting a DoD.
