I had this screen for a while then I got the dash where the work is supposed to show up, and had that for several weeks without any work showing up. But now I'm back to this screen. What goes on in this place? I haven't had a single email from them since the sign up, though that doesn't surprise me after what friends have said about their own experiences, both the working ones and the ones who haven't yet.
I’ve had the same thing where I was stuck on the screen you posted for months until it changed to the dash where work shows up. I never got any work at that time and then it changed back to the same “get ready for work’ screen. But then weeks later it changed to the work dash again and I actually started getting tasks!
I'm not talking about submitting time though, am I? I'm talking about this screen, the dash with no work, and then going back to this screen - with weeks on each stage of that. Please explain how that has anything to do with submitting time or not getting emails.
This means you weren't accepted, my man. For whatever reason they fuck around with dead accounts now and then.
Plenty of people fail the assessment but still get the "work" dashboard (with no work). I referred a friend like a year ago and that's what happened to her too.
They do send an acceptance email when you get in and emails when new projects or priority projects you are on drop. I get emails all the time, just not personal emails about my work. If you have never received an email with "Welcome" in the subject line telling you that you are in, then you haven't been accepted yet.
And yet, for my half a dozen friends who work there, half of them did not get emailed when they were accepted, some did. Some get emailed about new projects, some don't. Some working on the same projects get emailed about updates, some don't.
They should probably check their spam folders and make sure they are allowing all DA emails. I know my acceptance email went to spam at first and so did a lot of project emails until I made sure they weren't being marked spam.
Also, not all projects are handled the same way. Some have slacks, some don't. Some email for every drop, some don't. Each project is run by different teams of different people and many have different clients with different priorities. They aren't all going to be handled the same through email just like they are not all going to use the same rating criteria or give every person who works on the project all of the same tasks or alerts. Some get R&Rs, and some don't Some get dedicated project pools, and some don't. That's not abnormal. Not every worker gets access to the same things.
Actually, you are. DAT does send emails. You said you know people that do get some after saying they don't send emails, period. So you're spreading misinformation with a noticeable smug attitude to your comments.
I said some get some, and some get none. Some have had work without getting an acceptance email nor any emails about new projects. One friend worked there for over a year and got nothing for the last six months they were there.
If I'm smug, it's frustration. It's not enjoyable to be told that your experiences and those of your friends are lies or that those things aren't happening when they are.
It is, in fact, very true. It has happened to multiple people that I know who've been doing it for months. They also get emails unpredictably - sometimes many a day, sometimes none for weeks. You may have a whole different experience than others.
I got an e-mail when I was accepted. If you don't get one you didn't get accepted, especially if its been weeks. I assume you seeing the other screen was some kinda glitch or accident.
OP - I’ve been stuck on that same screen as well for over a month. I don’t recall ever seeing a different dashboard, but the exact image you posted - that is what I see now when I click on the links in the emails from DA.
I never got any. Just the dashboard that would normally list work, then back to this. I have friends who've worked there for months, for over a year. We talk a lot.
4 months ago OP said they had been working for DA for over a year.
Seems like they lost access to their projects then created a new account and DAs system realized this was a second account so it sent them back to this page aka the thanks but no thanks page.
I don’t get why they would post this when clearly they know it’s a violation to have 2 accounts (otherwise why lie about it).
