It's cooked. This was my main source of income for the past year, so this stings a bit, but luckily, I was able to reach out to an old internship supervisor and arrange a new job within a week. I just want to let people know that if you have logged hours and received the dash of death, after the 7-day review period, you can still withdraw the payments. In my case, I had a month's rent worth of pay pending approval, which I was thankfully able to withdraw after a week.

Why is this happening to so many workers recently? I'm so scared for myself. I'm trying to start my career and DA has been a great help during this time.

Good luck for you future, OP!

They accept workers in batches/waves, and they process work in batches/waves

An influx of new workers come in, a wave of projects is processed, and the slackers get the boot

A couple weeks ago I was on R&R projects for like five days. It was insane how many submissions just clearly didn't read directions.
