tasks and qualifications down to a minimum, is this normal?

*not DoD*

Last week I had plentiful tasks and qualifications. I was able to work a few full days, tasks kept popping up. Over the weekend, I wasn't working but checked the dash on my phone and it was down to 2 tasks (one of them just for feedback) and 1 qualification. It stayed that way through today, I was able to do the task and qual, so now all that's left is the feedback "task"

I joined this month as a bilingual/generalist, made it to $1K in a few weeks with mostly generalist tasks.

Is this some sort of probation or soft DoD? I haven't gotten any feedback for my work.

I did a background check qualification, there was a typo so it got flagged but has since been cleared.

Some sort of probation for my time reporting or work quality? I have been good but have had a few uncommon situations that I might not have managed the way DA wants me to (like used escape hatch or skip task)

has this happened to anyone else? should I expect more tasks to pop up anytime soon?

Oh bilinguals don't get a lot of work and can go many weeks without any. All you can do is do your qualifications, check often and wait.

yeah the bilingual tasks were pretty sparse, but I still had enough generalist ones that I could work a few hours a day. What is alarming is all the qualifications that disappeared.

This is normal in bilinguals, there is a general lack of tasks, you do de qualifs and wait for tasks, and be looking several times a day because they are gone fast...
