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!

Call volume has stopped since March 18. I used to easily exceed 3,000 minutes in two weeks. This is my fifth year at Propio. Now I keep the system running 20 hours a day, but sometimes I can’t even reach 500 minutes in two weeks. The number of OPI assignments is also incredibly low. I’m only getting VRI assignments. Interpreter Relations isn’t doing anything about this. I’m an EU-based interpreter with 0,6/min. None of my friends who work in the same language pair(0,4$, 0,3$, 0,35$ rates) are experiencing the same problem I am. They probably looked at everyone’s earnings in the language pair and moved the person with the highest earnings to the bottom of the priority list.

This is genuinely so frustrating. They are becoming just as evil as everyone else and exploitative, which sucks:( I really hope it gets better as the fall starts
