06/12 - Wise Wednesday!

[HelloHello]

Every time, and I do mean every time, I put goop on my hair I either get a really long HIT that I can't stop doing OR an Intellizoon that requires a webcam so my hair is either overprocessed/I can't do a webcam. Every time!

 

[katarina]

At this rate I think I'll only make $8 an hour on Vickies....at the most. The lag is serious tonight.

Would be great if 5s were ten items per page at .50 a pop. Would solve so many problems.

 

[aveline]

Dang, I'm feeling a bit salty over these emails from Vicky when I don't even have the qual. No idea why I'm getting them, but rub it in, okay?

Boy, I am so glad I'm not the ONLY ONE! It is very irritating.

Ugh, did she send out another one? I actually do the HITs and I haven't been receiving any of these emails.

Would either of you mind posting it here, so I can at least know if I'm doing something wrong or not?

I can not stand HITs that are formatted like that. Like it kills all focus for me.

10 bucks says it's the same tofu email

Got the softban from cvt on the new batch. Guess we wait until next one!

If someone doesn't beat me to it I will get it posted as soon as I put the kiddos to bed (thank godddddddddddd). ~ hour or so

They'd still fuck it up somehow.

 

[Your Worst Nightmare]

I didn't get an email and believe me I'm watching my email tab to see if one drops. What's really happening is it's just another incompetency to go along with all the other shit.

Dear Member,

Please ignore if you received this message earlier.

Recently we ran a batch for 'Which Product type is the most appropriate' and we did an analysis of individual crowd worker answers and we are not happy with the quality of the answers. We are finding far too many cases where the crowd worker has chosen an answer option that is ridiculously wrong. Following are some examples:

1. Product was Sausage & Hotdogs, image and description clearly showed that but crowd worker chose ‘Tofu’
2. Product was a wine color sweatshirt and hoodie, image and description clearly showed that (infact image showed a model wearing the sweatshirt ) but crowd worker chose ‘Wine’
3. Product was Automotive cleaning brush, image and description clearly showed that but crowd worker chose ‘Tire’

Committing ridiculous errors such as above only proves that the crowd worker is not spending enough time on each question to review the product carefully. The sad part is we have had such errors from new members and also from members who have been with us for a long time.
Incase when you are not sure what a product is , please choose N/A. But blindly choosing any option is not the way how we expect these tasks to be done. This will only bring down the trust that we have placed in you.

To mitigate the above problem we are introducing a feature to randomly check worker’s answers against out golden set while a batch is running. If a worker repeatedly falls short of the quality that is expected, we have every right to remove such worker(s) without further notice.

So please mindfully work on the tasks. We value your hard work and we want to continue collaborating with you. Please understand that this is a general message that we are sending out to all workers who were engaged in our last task and who might be working on the current batch.

Thank you and happy working !

Yeah, I can almost guarantee that if she ever does pull someone's qual it's going to be someone who didn't do anything wrong

Also, remember someone thought a wine colored sweatshirt was actually wine

After reading this email Vicky sent me I want to know what the actual batch is... wish I actually had the qual. ?

 

[Srndpty]

PE 121.20 a couple batches and daylight left....might break a personal record today

 

[Merovign]

At this rate I think I'll only make $8 an hour on Vickies....at the most. The lag is serious tonight.

I would be ecstatic if I got that much.

 

[TSolo315]

I can not stand HITs that are formatted like that. Like it kills all focus for me.

....worse than the lag does?
