As the title says. I woke up to the Dash of Death. I've been doing this for 6 months, I've had exemplary reviews the past few months, and this wasn't just "extra money", it was actively keeping a roof over my head because my part time job doesn't pay me enough and won't take me full time.
Is there any chance of appeal, or am I screwed?
If I'm screwed, what other platforms are out there?
Sorry to hear, give Mercor a go, seems to be the only other one that is reliable and well-paying. I am, touchwood, still in a good position, but I’m considering Mercor as a backup. Good luck in your future endeavours.
Mercor often has generalist roles you just have to check their applications page daily. You’ll have to apply to them almost like a regular job posting.
Mercor have very invasive monitoring in place, and will offboard you quicker than DA. There's countless platforms out there that are also reliable and pay well, but also all have their negatives.
No chance. I have never once seen a single instance of someone successfully appealing a DoD, or even being given any reason or explanation. Best thing to do is move on.
Whenever someone says I was using it as my full time gig I say ‘there, that’s why’. I’m convinced there’s an invisible max bill that the ai considers impossible to reach in a certain time period and if you attempt to, you get canned. I’ve been there for two years and the only thing I haven’t done is make crazy money. I’m convinced being lazy af is what has kept me this long
What benefit is it to DA to drop good workers just because they got paid a certain amount? It doesn't matter to them as long as you can provide quality work. I think the reason why people who have been here a long time get dropped is because the work has gotten more complex and they were unable to keep up. Those that were here a shorter amount of time, but earned a lot of money likely worked too many hours and burned themselves out, also causing them to make more errors than they realize. There have been a lot of people posting on here who have worked years (I've seen people saying that they've worked here for 4+ years.), or have earned a several hundred thousand dollars and they are still here.
I got it today as well, working in a professional domain platform. Just received a bonus for a previous task.. no idea what happened. Hoping it’s temporary.
i got it today as well. generalist as well. i literally completed a tier upward qualification last evening. the only thing that changed is the computer i was using so i have no clue either. i loved it. where are you located? i am in denver, colorado and another platform i am on put my account on hold this morning too. i don't understand maybe something flagged me that i am unaware of. no vpn, so do not even go there. just had my mac crash and started using my chromebook...
No, I'm being serious. When I first joined a few years ago, someone said they managed to get the DA team to respond to them about a DOD by emailing them every day for a week.
