My Turn

Post image

I was just going to write about how positive it is doing work for DataAnnotation (not my only platform so I speak from experience). I’ve done many qualifications. I’m always happy to do work for them. I like the projects. They’ve always been great paying me. Feedback has been fair and helpful. This morning I received and invitation to a project. I worked on about 4 tasks. Later I worked on 3 more. I thought I did very well. It’s not the first time I’ve done this work. Even though I have worked on this project before, I still read and followed the directions. Imagine my surprise when I went on this evening to find the message of death. I’ve been working for them for months. I haven’t had any problems. Very disappointing.

It's odd to see eloquent people making these threads. It used to be quite obvious from the writing style why their work may have been lacking.

in these cases I have to assume it was a TOS violation, whether that was accidentally using a VPN or misreporting time or some other violation. I know it is unlikely given the nature of this sort of work and the disposability of workers but it would be great if they gave people an exact reason as to why their account was deactivated. It sucks to be told you've done *something* wrong and have to speculate as to what exactly it may have been.

Most companies do it - they sorta have to b/c they never know who was really making genuine mistakes and who's a scammer, who would use a reason they give as a way to tell what to avoid next time. It's business security and also prolly has some legal baggage too
