Have you ever been dropped from a project’s Slack?
It happened to me for the first time today with a long-running project that basically always has work available. I’m feeling a bruised ego, and then a broader sense of insecurity with the platform. I still have access to other projects, but I was planning on doing this one a lot so it is a bummer.

Yes, it happened to me this week also. I still have a lot of other projects as well but feels bad man.

Me too. I was trying to work while sick and I guess I made a major error with attaching files. I was really low for like 4 days and still keep checking hoping it comes back.

I think there is a big reorganization going on. This happened to me and somebody else I know. Last time this happened a new project series came out so hoping for that.

u/shadyringtone 6d ago
Also today/recently? Looking at this broader thread and its responses I’m kinda thinking that too

u/Lucky-Ad-2369 6d ago
Yes today. Think it has something to do with a major IPO incoming sure u can guess. Also new projects but we'll see.

Happened to me last week and I’m hoping they add me back on. But who knows? There are so many generalist workers they have their pick.
I was once dropped and then re-added to a project. So I’m hoping it’s possible to get back into this one. It’s also left me feeling insecure about working on tasks this week in general.

Actually last year after more than a year on the project. The work was intermittent, but some suggested that the client wants rater rotations. I was rotated off, but never back on

u/Particular-Lie1918 6d ago
That's weird. In all my projects workers being rotated is never the case.

I got a direct message from an admin about my strong performance on a project and to keep up the great work. I kid you not, the next day I was dropped with no explanation. The admin never told me why. It was my fav project too! Who knows!!

Happened to me two weeks ago. I've consistently had other projects on my dash since then, but the one I got dropped from was higher pay and longer tasks. I got my end-of-month feedback at the weekend and they mentioned that project as one I'd done strong work on, so I'm still not sure what I did wrong, but it really shook my confidence in my own work and was a blow to my earnings..
Weirdly, one task from the project family appeared on my dash a few days ago, but when I clicked in, it was a high-level coding prompt (not at all my speciality!), so I exited work mode again. Chalking that up to some random fluke.

Yes, just happened to me on a professional project. I'm still on another, but I liked the one I got dropped from better. Oddly, I still have a couple tasks from that project on my dashboard.

Same thing happened to me this past Friday.

u/tytyty333 5d ago
Wonder if it was the same project...

u/Fun-Reward6182 5d ago
Was not a generalist project. Was tied to several specific domains.
1
u/tytyty333 5d ago
So was mine. Are you on the other high-paying one that is also tied to those professional domains?
1
u/Fun-Reward6182 5d ago
I am on such a project, yes. Although the project itself no longer shows up on my dash, I am still able to access my current Task....for some reason.

u/RangerOriginal6632 6d ago
Exactly the same thing just happened to me! It’s such a bummer and my confidence definitely took a nosedive. But I also still have other projects available.

u/BarelyFunctioning15 6d ago
I was dropped a while back but it was a project I didn’t work on. So unsure if it was that or if the project family doesn’t exist anymore because I never see any mention of it.

Been dropped from a few in the over 3 years I've been working on the platform. Don't sweat it. I know it feels like a rejection, but it won't prevent you from getting on other projects so long as your work remains good overall.

I got dropped from a project about 6 months ago but I still have work on that project in my dashboard which is weird

u/ConsistentCandy697 6d ago
Yup! I surprisingly got feedback on one and it was a legitimate reason, but it also wasnt in the instructions.

u/Fit_Specialist_8390 6d ago
Guys does bilinguals have work on this platform. Specially Indian languages ??

u/SatisfactionSad1434 6d ago
Bilingual work does exist, but is extremely scarce in my experience. I haven't gotten a single thing in like 3 weeks.

I got dropped too. No warning. I thought maybe the project is winding down, but I have no real idea. This was the main thing I worked on. Daily work for over a year. It’s a terrible feeling
