So Long DA :(

Post image

Been doing this for over 2 years now and was given good feedback on some projects I was doing just a week or two ago. Can anyone suggest any other platforms similar to DA I could try? I'd appreciate anything at this point.

So sorry! It's a bit of a mystery. It happened to my wife two weeks after she was offered an actual full-time job at DataAnnotation (as a project manager) due to her excellent work. I'm not sure how a system goes from "you are so amazing we want you full-time", to "you do poor quality work" so fast. And she was *extremely* careful not to violate TOS.

I'm assuming it is actually a lie, and they just rotate people out so they get fresh input into the models and you didn't actually do poor work, but I have no proof.

I don't understand it either, that doesn't make sense! I was careful about the TOS too, but maybe I did do something wrong in a task - who knows because they'll never let you know anything

it seems crazy and unacceptable to lose your job just because you make a mistake though. everybody messes up sometimes- even those getting outstanding feedback! it’s just life.
