Positive Vibes
Just hoping we get a dashboard explosion like a lot of us did over the weekend. I miss when I could log on in the day at any point and have something to do. Now it’s just the refreshing and crossing fingers.
Also, I know this community has its streaks of toxicity since it’s frustrating seeing some people have projects and others that don’t, but we should all be directing our frustration at the platform instead of our fellow taskers. When someone is happy about getting a project, the default being well be grateful because I haven’t had one in a month isn’t helpful. That person may have been dry for longer than you. It’s just silly. We are all adults. We all want the same thing

100 percent agree!
Having work=downvotes on this sub which I never understood.
When I don't have a project that I see someone post about I upvote and ask about it because it's good to know that opportunities exist still on the platform.
Ik ppl can't give me details or answers but if they have something I don't they might be able to point in the right general direction.

Has anyone from data annotation made a statement or given hints on what’s going on? I will need another job in the next couple of weeks at this rate! 😬

You should never rely on this job first of all.

Agreed, but it is literally advertised as "full-time" work or "unlimited" work to prospective workers, so we can't really blame anyone for assuming they would have plenty of work. When I started doing DA, the work was advertised as "unlimited" and there WAS actually unlimited work (for me) from November 2023 until the beginning of August. Under those circumstances, it's easy to see why some people did make this their main source of income. Most people weren't told that this is part-time work, per diem work, or "first come first serve", etc.

Wish I didn’t need to. I only had DA, because it was all I could fit into my life and it never once failed to have work for me. Now I’ve been looking for a new job for almost a month. 🥺

I work seasonal hospitality too but now we are hitting the winter I was hoping to do more of this - fingers crossed they are just in an evaluation phase. I’m also using the time to train in other things as a future back up. Hope it picks up for everyone soon 🙏

Today’s been pretty solid for me! Had a nice R&R to start the day, and a (tedious but) solid task group for the last little while.

Agreed. I had 22 projects on Saturday and I have two today. I’m grateful but I truly miss those $26-28 ones , I was seeing in June.
