12/21 - Fantastic Voyage Friday!

[Despairagus]

I got a code.

I'm sure we're all fine then, and in for a multi month "tell me how you view yourself" party! Woo!

Now, for everyone to ponder - since she was so quick to pull the trigger on a mass rejection would she have been inclined to reverse those rejections if only a few workers emailed her? Since she had no guilt about hitting that reject button in the first place I am inclined to say that she only cared when her co-workers and superiors got involved. I am sure she is genuinely terrified but maybe this is the exact kind of educational experience that she needed, too.

IMO (like it matters) I think that being all indignant and righteous at the first communications is what really got people going hard. :/

I'm not defending the turkers who did that to her at all, but I think a lot of requesters underestimate just how smart/resourceful turkers are. I would have loved to see her face when she started getting slandering emails/getting asked by her coworkers why they were being spammed with emails/probably death threats within minutes. I'm sure she's gonna start her weekend off with a ton of booze after this.

I personally have no ill will towards her, and I fully appreciate the severity of the situation and how upset she has to be right now because some people jumped the gun and started being dicks to her.

I actually sent a very polite email (that I had to edit 15 times and count to 100 while doing). Putting forth that much effort to remain pleasant seriously wiped me the fuck out. lol

which also makes me think that she only regrets it because she got caught by her peers.

Well, glad I missed that one.

I just hope the fire gets put out before Christmas.

LOL and I got mad because mTurk forced me to log back in only an hour after I previously logged in. Everyone else gets 12 hours, I get (rolls d12).

On the flip side it's been a long time since we've had a classic bitchforking and it was pretty fun.

I gotta check myself. I almost gave a HUGELY sarcastic response to a text request in an advertising survey.

All 35 rejected.

Fucking Grinch from hell.

Burn the witch.

what was that about "balls deep"???

 

[turkinlight]

I might have emailed a requester telling them that the way they were using Mturk for data collection was exploiting the same people they have vowed to help in their companies mission statement. Complete with instructions, examples, the pay the person was willing to pay workers, and the fee that would have been owed to Amazon to not only the requester but everyone in the online directory...from the CEO to the secretary. If their email was on the company webpage, they were part of the email. Sometimes inner office shame is the only way to get your point across. Hope that was 10 bucks you spent on data collection was well spent buddy. Enjoy the glares and inner office memos.
