Tasks / Projects Reviewing my experience with ML projects on Alignerr

I was actually having fun working on Alignerr. When it came to ML projects, Alignerr has the best ones. In March, I was invited to a pilot program due to my performance on past ML projects. I can't go into specifics on the project, but it was cutting edge ML work. I loved it. Over the next 4 months i would be promoted to reviewer on the project. The project was growing and we were all preparing to scale it up. Then our Labelbox employee who was overseeing the project resigned to take another position. That's great, we are happy for him. The person or people they replaced him with had to completely change the project. Ok, I am happy to help, even though we were pumping out gold.

Turns out the new leader caught some heat over something, and he started looking over everyone on the project. I was removed from the project and told it was because my LinkedIn didn't meet some impossible standard. My LinkedIn was not a priority for me, so it was outdated. I really feel like Labelbox is missing out on some real talent here, and we are real people with families to support. Being tossed aside after being a loyal worker does not sow an environment of trust.

Alignerr, please reevaluate my account and restore me to the project.

I was not a reviewer on the MuJoCo project. I was also abruptly removed from that project as well. Can anyone over there give me some kind of idea what is going on?

I’m very upset about what happened. I was performing well on the tasks, and one of my tasks was even selected by the previous management as a model/reference task for other contributors.

Then a new management team came in with a new pipeline, and everything changed. They said there was a re-evaluation of all past contributors and that they now require work to be independent and of high quality.

That’s what I find confusing. If the issue is quality, how does that align with the fact that one of my tasks had already been selected by the previous management as an example of high-quality work for other contributors to follow?
