01/13 - Swift Sunday!

@A6_Foul_Out fix those goddamn fans already.

 

surprised that's not just default

oh yes of course, so I can see brief glimpses of freedom before the next survey comes into my queue

 

when a survey teaches me how, I'll be right on it.

 

Maybe that's the whole point?

 

Nah I'm pretty sure that amazon just is tired of people QQing or hearing about how much non shit workers can make.

Thank you for being a valued Amazon Mechanical Turk Customer.


Thank you for your inquiry. Did I solve your problem?

I selected the option for NO the person didn't solve my problem.

 

smh @ChrisTurk

 

Idk, seems like good sorting to me. Send people doing financial stuff to the actual financial portion of the business, if you just want the "neato stats" then yea, look at the dashboard.

Its not like the emails were even perfectly consistent (being late or never showing up happens multiple times/yr).

And they still have records of their "payments" since all they can do is withdraw to gift card and amazon.com stores that data & displays it back indefinitely (well, I have gift card records from 2016, at least).

For the most part, at least, I don't know 100% for Indian users who still have bank access, but I imagine that goes through payments?

"No rejections" .. definitely not my profile.

 

Well for my situation it was a - "dude I seriously don't give two shits about your screenshot of amazon payments. I can already see the money coming in on your bank statements. All I want is a written letter showing current employment, and if you can't provide that - I want insurance statements showing you're insured as a amazon mechanical turkey."

not that the weekly emails helped me at all or anything. Nor did me having to explain that mturk isn't an employer, but a platform of many "pseudo-employers" to literal dozens of different people

Basically the underwriters were not able to approve any of what I was able to send them at all because they hvae to follow whatever cookie-cutter recipe procedures, instead it had to get redirected to some sort of director of whatever department who I spoke to for hours and eventually overrided the underwriters decision.

and this was all a huge PITA especially because my income was fine for my loan WITHOUT mturk. But since I even mentioned it at all and it was on my tax returns - they had to verify it.

The one time I did a gift card thing I don't believe that it went through AMP. I haven't tried since though and I was under the impression that those people don't even access to amp.

Oh and AMP doesn't total up our bonuses for the week either and that will be annoying to lose. All the user tools to track it are unreliable at best because of various reasons.

 

take away my guns but not my weekly emails

 

I'll take away your juice and your guns.
