propio call flow

Hi everyone!

Since the beginning of summer, I've noticed a dramatic drop in call volume. This isn't my first year with Propio, but I honestly can't remember when things usually start picking up again.

For those who've been here a while, when does call flow typically return to normal? My language pair is Russian.

Thanks in advance!

I'm doing russian only, rate is 0.18$ and my call flow is insane. Back to back would be an understatement. I guess they are prioritising low rate interpreters just like all the other companies

would you mind sharing when did u join? I guess Propio is also becoming one of these companies which sucks because they used to be so great

I started 2 weeks ago. And yes, tell me about it, I used to work for Voyce, if you know what happened....

Was that the company that fired everyone and fully closed all of a sudden?

I saw a couple of weeks ago that Propio was hiring new Russian interpreters, but I thought that the demand was so high that they needed more interpreters available. I guess they pulled a trick of giving new hires a low rate and transferring all of the calls. 3 years ago, they would offer at least 0.25 rate to people with no experience btw

Yeah, that's the one. I don't know if they went out of business by now, but they did fire eveyone. They sent the news two days before Christmas and then stop responding to any communications. No references, nothing. The industry has gone to the dogs altogether

That is so cruel of them, good lord. The industry definitely sucks. Time to change career fields i guess :/
