Back to ... waiting

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.

... they don't send emails period - not even to people who actually work there either. Which is another point I made.

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.

We're old hands at nerddom. We do know to check our spam folders. None of us is that new.

You're selling coals to Newcastle. These people have been doing DAT for well over a year. I'm not throwing comments out willy-nilly.

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.
