The requestor in question is among some of the worst requestors I’ve ever had to work with. For just some of the problems that I’ve had to deal with-Requestor will use information given in confidence in order to prove a point or to privately bother other workers, breaking confidence.
-The requestor has a habit of sorely underpaying for their tasks and will constantly straddle the line between a wage that is slave wages and barely livable. Trying to get them to pay a fair wage is a battle in itself. At one point, the requestor had to be convinced to raise the wage up to $0.15 per HIT. Immediately after this batch,they then set the price to $0.04 per HIT and cited that their internals stated that people only worked on the HIT for 8 seconds despite many others agreeing that this was an egregious display and that just half of that time would be loading the task, let alone phrasing the information in the first place. When they were called out for this, they then proceeded to privately message and find out who did them in time so that they could cherry pick those workers and make it look like everyone was actually in agreement that it was actually a fair paying task. In addition, the requestor started messaging everyone who qualified to do their tasks because everyone ended up deciding not to do them. Eventually,they made up the lost wages in bonuses so that it would be just barely counted as well. And speaking of private messaging…
-The requestor is very abusive to the workers in the first place. This requestor used bonuses in lieu of just paying a fair flat wage to the top three workers, without actually giving us an idea of what we were measuring in the first place. They used information given to them in confidence in order to privately abuse workers, and when they were called out by a caretaker, the requestor abused the caretaker into believing that they were wrong. They paid substandard rates and then blamed the workers for not working hard enough, and they didn’t maintain any level of opsec. At the end of the day, the requestor pretty much decided that they could do whatever they want.
This is a brand new account. The requestor generally goes by the name VASR.
This is effectively a closed qual batch.
Advice to Requester
Look, either you pay 20-30 cents an hour with a flat rate, or you accept that workers won't be happy and will be more then happy to give you junk data or just refuse to do the work. And stop being so abusive.Sigil 1 Proficient Worker
