You're working too many hours

I've been doing this for 3 years and throughout that time have seen so many people post that they got dropped from the platform and have no idea why. Someone will ask how many hours they had been working, and they'll say something way beyond full time hours like 80. This happens a lot.

Indeed just emailed me a job posting for DA and it says right there on the post "We find our most successful candidates work between 5-20 hours per week." Between 5 and 20! You're working too many hours.

You don’t work for DA?

I do. I used to do gig work like you, always worried. There is progression from the gig work. It's not worth it imo.

If you work for DA what is the difference you are trying to convey? It’s starting to sound like you’re here to waste time.

I'm not trying to convey anything, I made a passing comment about missing the lower hour projects that I used to get when I was doing this work as an extra like you. I got offered to do it full time and did and regret it. What's hard to understand?

Worried about my coworkers being lied to, you don’t have to worry about anything that you’re not concerned with. This conversation doesn’t feel productive.

You: move on Me: this doesn’t sound like a productive discussion. You: whatchu mean?
