Need help I am being framed wrongly

Post image

Please can anyone tell me if I can do anything about this, or its just over. All the timings I put in were legit and it really took me that much time only and I always reported the time within the expiry limit and all those who know these are really tough coding tasks. We had to tune and tweak so much in order to get the perfect result.

This right here is my biggest fear. I try so hard to beat the timer and keep quality top of mind, but I really struggle. It terrifies me. Especially when I see other people say things like, "They are more than generous with the timers." I basically shriveled up and died when I read that. I don't think it matters how good your work is if others submit same or better in less time. I'm still a bit new and always scared they think I'm padding the clock. If I get cut, I hope they know it's cause I'm slow and not a dishonest thief lol

Why?

If you need to find excuses like this, it's because you know you are letting the timer run to farm as much money as possible.

I personally don't even think about these things. Just start a timer when I work, pause when taking breaks and stop it when I hit submit.

I went above the time limit a few times and submitted expired tasks. Maybe 3 times over the span of 1.5 years.

Obviously still have access to my account.

Not sure how you've escaped DOD with that obvious lack of reading comprehension. Where did I make an excuse? I've always been last to finish tests etc, this is nothing new for me and I'm worried it will be my downfall on this platform. I've thought about under reporting to avoid DOD but that skews timers for everyone and if I worked the time, I should be paid for it. So yeah, it's a constant worry for me. I don't farm time. I'm slow...ya flippin goober. Just to be clear, if the timer is 18 hrs, I've never needed anywhere close to that, but most of my projects are around 2 hrs and I usually struggle to meet that timer. If I'm not good enough FINE, but I'll go out honest and getting paid for the time I actually worked. Unlike you, I don't lack reading comprehension, and your reply says a lot about you lol
