02/11 - Sizzle Sunday!

Oooh, I did not see this part of them, I just got annoyed and then didn't do them. Thanks for mentioning that I'll have to look into them tomorrow.

 

I should have said, "..because only 25% of the work..." -- Sorry!

 

@Melting Glacier thread is scheduled to post for tomorrow.

@everyone else night homies

 

@everyone

Pizza party now that the old grump is gone?

 

Well, I made over $20 today just working on those. I didn't start until about noon and took time off throughout the day. At least he seems like a decent requester -- fast approval, bonuses for extra work, communicative, won't reject (but will disqualify you from working on the batch if you don't do good work).

 

Julian used to be $25/hr.

Julian is now $8/hr, MAYBE $10/hr.

Don't be like Julian.

 

Are you counting bonuses?

 

He is just really slow at them.

 

I been holding off on commenting cuz nobody listens and does underpaid shit anyways. But yeah not even min wage now and what is worse for me is the hit cap.... 3k+ before was nice like real nice....I do 3k now and it isn't fuck all and I walk off a roof most likely.

 

Yes.

No.

 

I've been working other stuff today (when I actually have worked -- I'm basically not doing shit). Julian Michael HITs worked out to about ~9/hr for me after I added bonuses. It sucks that they dropped, but from his point of view, I understand it tbh. If people are gonna do p9r and 10-minute surveys for 20 cents, at least he's still paying over fed min wage. It's not admirable, but it's not scumbag-requester territory.

 

I didn't even know about a hit cap.

 

Question for you guys- do any of you or have any of you had a former requester keep bugging you to be added to your LinkedIn network and if so, how did you deal with it? I already denied it twice, last time months ago and now I get a notice again saying please add me to your network.

I don't know the guy but did do a hit for him- but I just don't have a good feeling for him and there are a number of Requesters and heavy tech guys in mine and I am not even sure how they got in my network or I got in theirs.
I really rarely go there but wondering why he is so adamant about getting into my network. Or maybe it's an automatic form request that goes out to other people at random and I just happen to keep getting his.

 

Not a cap on his hits but the 3800 turk daily cap. Basically Julian was my sugga daddy and when he came back before the holidays paid for Christmas. What I mean is I'm not going to use up the majority of my daily hit cap for $60 or so. And at this rate you'd have to do 300-400+/- hits an hour to make close to fed min so I'm just not going to go balls out like that on a .02 base pay hit and hope most of them have .06 in bonus to them.

 

Maybe I was putting way too much thought into those -- I was making maybe $5-$6 an hour. I was doing them because I enjoy that sort of work and nothing else was going on. Also, I liked learning about different things.

Okay. I thought you meant he now starts banning workers from his batches after they complete 3000 hits.
