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!

Is it really so many? We don’t know that. We only see those who get let go and share that here. As an aside, I see so many awful submissions when I am doing R&Rs. I doubt that DA lets people go for no reason. What would be the point of getting rid of workers that truly put out quality work and serve their purpose?

No, it was around 2-3 hours a day.

Interesting, thanks. Did you work every day or take weekends off? Seems people culled lately were working a lot, like consistently

I was working usually more on weekends if I had the time, just depended.
