    I asked if there was some way I could do it and they said- We would love to reassign the pages but our record keeping isn't set up for these type of exceptions. Sorry about this, and we will try to include you if possible in the future. Best, Zoe + Bobby
    At least they reply quickly and are nice. I can't complain, I made $2 doing nothing.

    Pretty nice for a show-up compensation! I can say that Managers are getting the short end of the stick on abandonments. [​IMG]

    The managers should email them if people aren't showing up, maybe they would be compensated too!

    I did :) [Tiny snip] I'm leaving the rooms open for as long as I stay up in case one or more decides to be decent and responsible and actually show up to what they committed to do lol I know I have a better shot at winning the lotto but I'll keep some hope haha

    Without giving away content, I can say that as a manager my hands have been tied and it is not completely the managers fault. We have been given guidance too.

    On another note, I emailed the requester as well with prior questions but went ahead and asked about getting workers with no manager reassigned to managers who have had workers show up and reject the work. That way its still available for workers to show up late and have a manager but managers can also get workers who have showed up on time too and can actually manage. Ohwell.

    Heard back. I was told that they currently have no capabilities to reassign but it is a good idea that they will look to implement in the future if possible.

    So ... who was a manager and what deal did you work out? I was a manager last time and made some easy money and AFAIK everybody left happy.

    HITs where Workers work together are usually tough to figure out what's kosher to talk about and are always popular to discuss. In this case, it's alright to talk about your role and progression towards completing the task. As for what's actually going on in the negotiation chats, we can't allow discussion because a person that is participating in the chat could gain 'insider' knowledge on how to proceed.

    All I can say is the one person that showed up out of 5 is pretty happy, from what I could see.

    The biggest fail in this project was the 2 minute AA on the initial hit... they made their 65 cents and don't care to show up. I just emailed them suggesting to change that in the future to make people that commit actually follow through. They responded saying basically "great idea..etc etc" I know things happen and what not but of the 4 that I had not show up there is no way that all their Grandmothers got run over by a reindeer on the same night at the same time....

    I am not sure that your " workers" are all real.. there are some actual humans .. but if you read the TO and check out what the requestors are REALLY doing the real reason for the hit is not what you would think at first glance.

    I was a worker who showed up with no manager showing up. I was in the room 25 minutes the first time, then they sent another link and I sat in the room another 20 minutes, with no manager showing up. I'm disappointed, to say the least.

    The more I read the TO for this, the more I wonder if we will actually get paid for our work and to what extent we will have to go to receive the payment.

    I got paid yesterday for last weeks hit , and so did at least 1 other member here. I don't think that will be a problem.

    For the actual hit that gathered the workers/managers or the bonus for completing the tasks assigned?
