07/29 - Swinging Sunday!

Texas peeps know what's up. I've actually forgotten who all the other Texas people are.

 

I'm in the top ten on the forecasts and every week like clockwork they still send me a email moaning about my completion time even though I somehow take exactly 60 minutes to forecast each week now.

It sure is good for their research that I definitely invest way more time now than I did before when I did a little work every day when I had some down time so I could just breeze through the HIT in 10 minutes when it gets posted. These two sentence reviews I leave now are clearly just highly condensed and expertly edited, as opposed to the two to three paragraph responses I previously left each question.

:?I

 

It is because the rest of us have times of 2 hours+ because we bake the shit out of them.

 

I bet that some of the high point people are using the rules to automatically change their forecast.

 

It wouldn't surprise me at all. I've seen some of the forecasts posted before mine add some of my citations to their forecasts, so there's probably some point incentive to the amount of work you add to the text of your forecast?

Like, idk who cares, unless they're going to give a monster bonus to the top 10, what's the incentive to do more than the bare minimum outside of following your programming conscience?

This is trash, the last couple Billy Ds have all been weirdly long with low compensation.

 

They have done some higher pay hits but it isn't worth the effort.

 

I got a warning email about the forecast hits once, been a lot more careful since. Didn't want that going away. They're kinda fun, and super well paid. It feels good actually getting to open endedly discuss issues.

Meanwhile I've been doing AdsForce most of the day while watching the new Orange is the New Black, it almost makes them palatable...

Also hi, I haven't really posted since the MTG days, so likely no one remembers me

I got one email about a month ago from SC warning me about my completion time/s

since then I've taken literally 41-42 minutes (nothing longer). haven't gotten any bad emails since

 

105 trials..... yeah I'll pass.

 

Did Zoltar die? I haven't seen anything in forever. It used to be Sunday fillers.
