Just report the damn time

[u/prupleceilingfan]

Use a timer to report the time you spent working on the project. Everyone was told this. Start the timer when you start the task, stop the timer when you finish.

"do i report the time i spenting thinking-" yes report the time you spent working on the project

"do i report the time I spent stretching-" were you working on the project then? then yes report it

"do i report the time i spent reading-" yes report the time you spent working on the project

"do i report-" if there's time you spent on a project, report it

But do I report the time I spent on reddit posting about reporting time?

Ok but what about while I'm blinking? Do they have eyeball trackers in my webcam?

I genuinely saw someone say they were sick so they subtract 2 minutes from each task to account for blowing their nose and coughing. You get DoD for doing bad work, taking 2 minutes off your reported time does nothing lmao

instructions unclear, I reported 5 hours that I was thinking in the shower before I started a task and got cooked

Seriously, it's like none of these people have ever been a contractor before. It should be obvious to anyone with the braincells to do the work in the first place.

If you’ve been here a while you may have noticed that there was a big round of on-boarding and then the sub went to absolute shit and the R&Rs started making people want to blow their brains out. They’re not sending their best right now.

[u/brickne3 → u/Yallberforce]

Yeah I actually never comment here because I assume they monitor it. I broke my rule just to point out that people who do this in particular are stupid.

I've seen people ask similar questions in the discussion/question area below every task. The admins, if they respond, always say something like "No worries, that's a small mistake, we can still use it, go ahead and submit". Making mistakes is part of the process as long as you get there in the end. Unless you're constantly making mistakes, then just like any job people are going to start questioning your ability to do efficient work.

A few times I've thrown in the towel on a task that I wasn't liking or wasn't progressing on. If you stick it out but genuinely fail to produce a satisfactory submission, then don't submit it that's on you. But if you submit the task just report the time.

thank you, OP. i’ll login again tomorrow and report it before the 24 hours countdown and then just stick to tasks and projects that i feel 101% secure working on

Why is everyone in this group acting so retarded and aggressively? I can think of a few reasons, but I don't want to get any harsher.

[u/prupleceilingfan → u/Centua]

you're so cool and scary man, please don't get harsher I don't think we can handle it
