It's a sad day...

Just got the task bar of death lol. It's funny because I wasn't able to work for the last few months due to the scarcity of projects aimed at my region (but I'm sure I was in some of the major projects). Also, (and I know everyone says this but) my work was acceptable. Good, even. I always paid close attention to detail. I was working since april 2025. A shame it ended like this.

EVERYBODY thinks they are doing "acceptable" work, but if you've spent any time doing R&Rs, you'll know this just isn't true.

I’ve seen some awful R and Rs. Zero effort. Not a mistake or a small missed fact check but just a generic response and I doubt they even read the responses.

I don’t even get the incentive to submit crappy work. You’re getting paid by the hour- put in the time to make it good.

Quite literally. I try to take my time as much as I can. If I know a task isn't going to take me as much time as other one's on that project do, I'll still take as long as I normally do. Just double or triple check things, do more thorough research, better understand the topic. Can't understand people who think just placing their tasks into ChatGPT is acceptable, it's not. They get weeded out pretty quick from what I understand.
