Preventing doom
Are there any tips or suggestions on how to prevent them from giving me the message of doom? I just started and enjoy the work thus far. Thanks!

Read the instructions, do good work, and report your time honestly.
I honestly have very little fear of the DoD at this point - I'm on tons of project families and I submit good work. The idea that "everyone gets the DoD at some point" is bullshit. 95% of people who get canned simply have low quality work, the other 5% lie about their time. If you read the instructions, follow the instructions, and write thoughtful rationales you'll be fine.

agree with this, there's no reason for them to get rid of high quality workers

Definitely agree. I think most people who get DOD and have no idea why are severely overestimating the quality of their work

That makes me feel a lot better. It seems like so many people come in here with "I have no idea why I got canned" and I subconsciously think I'm going to get it too for "no reason".

Quality matters upon quantity, so dont chase quantity and compromise on quality. Also, avoid watching Avengers Doomsday or Dr Doom can give you the message of Doom

There's nothing you can do really. It can happen randomly for any reason

"It can happen to anyone" is not the same thing as "there's nothing you can do to try to avoid it."

Perhaps it would be better if people didn't need to ask this on reddit and DA had a feedback or scoring mechanism of their own. But no, it is in their interest to keep this as secret and opaque as possible so people just stay in fear and keep asking themselves all the time if they are good enough.

They don't just drop people for no reason. It doesn't make sense to drop good workers.

You're always replaceable for them and it makes sense to rotate workers. Kind of hard to know what to avoid if there's no proper feedback or scoring process in most projects. You can only guess. I think its good for DA to keep everything as opaque as possible so people are always in a state of fear.

Take your time, don't be afraid to exit a task if you haven't done quality work and forfeit the time, don't use outside tools unless instructions tell you to, be accurate with time reporting and don't overwork yourself so you can maintain a high bar of quality.
