There is no way you could possibly be worse than grown ass adults cutting each other in line and fighting over who gets to blow their paycheck on powerball tickets first.

how about grown ass people fighting to get in Aretha's funeral?

The baby fell in to me last night with her hand stretched out and put all 30 pounds of her weight in to my right eye.
It's all damaged and bloody and I feel like a James Bond villain today.

Need me to watch her so you can heal?

Technically any job you get is not 100% reliable because you can be laid off or fired at any point. It doesn't matter what tier you work at in a company, how many hours you put in, or how great you are at the job - you're just as expendable to them as the next co-worker. When I quit my last job, I was literally told it didn't matter because I'm replaceable; they already had someone lined up and trained the day after I put in my notice. Rhetorical, but why give away so much of your life and time for that? At least with mTurk I can sit at home, be choosy-ish with my work, and create my own schedules with no real boss breathing down my neck. Just my two cents

running the MLB UNU on HAM since 11:30 with only HF running too....still didn't get it....

I can never catch them on PandA, personally. If I miss it when it drops, I'll PandA it for aabout 20 minutes, just in case someone dq's or throws it back. But, after that, I give up.

I'd slap my own mother to get into that funeral. Its probably lit!

...so to fully clarify what I meant, mturk is better than a low wage Part time job where everyone is scraping for hours and bosses randomly send you home.

Yes even in it's current shitty state this is very much true.

 

[Dill]

Mturk has been consistent for me, even through the slow summer. Cannot say the same about any regular job I've ever had.

when i worked at Walmart from 2008-2010 they would schedule me 34-39 hours a week so I would fall just under the full time mark (40 hours a week) so they didn't have to grant me insurance (since back then only FT workers got insurance there). i (believe) they might've changed it since. not sure.

 

[Jaded]

wait are you talking fulltime? my bad I was talking about part time.

When I started on mturk I was a part time worker at winn dixie and thats it.

I didn't have a reliable check at all.

They would randomly cut hours. and sometimes just tell me not to come in if it was too slow. shit wasn't fun.

mturk has been up and down, but reliable as fuck compared to a part time job.

...so to fully clarify what I meant, mturk is better than a low wage Part time job where everyone is scraping for hours and bosses randomly send you home.

oh shit, yeah. I agree with that.

Jobs, in general, pull all kinds of scummy shite. It's like when they have their clock set 7 minutes ahead, and make you clock in per their time, not actual human time. They do that so that you're constantly thinking about work because, every time you look at your watch, you do the math to figure out what time it is at work. I don't play along with that petty BS.

well of course, but I think it's pretty safe to say that walmart (or whatever) is slightly more reliable than requesters on mturk, lol.

In theory the more skilled the job the more expensive it will be to replace someone. You would still be expendable but the company would have to think twice before rationally pulling the trigger. If you work at some minimum wage service job though they actually want you to quit/be replaced before they have to start giving you that yearly raise or whatever because there is minimal training required and pretty much anyone can fill your shoes.

If any company ever gave me a consistant 34-39 hours a week, I'd quit working online instantly.

Winn Dixie was giving me 20-24 hours a week in 2014 when I started turking. they said if we made over 25 hours they'd have to pay health insurance cause Obama said so or something.

However I'd rather scrape up money turking on shitty surveys than work at the dollar store or fast food >.>

yeah it's like "you couldn't give me ONE more hour this week?!". it's not like a company as big as Walmart couldn't afford to give everyone insurance back then. i do believe they've tweaked the guidelines since (not 100% sure), but it's like come on. a lot of places pull stuff like though. you're right
