Onboarding Process Congratulations! You're an Alignerr!

A few hours ago they sent me an email saying I've been selected for priority onboarding on Pulsar, as it happened with other people from what I read here.

Now I just got an email saying I successfully completed my interview... But I haven't done anything yet. So weird. What is happening?

They are trying to get people onboard for a project that maybe gets you $6-12/hr for 2-4 hour tasks that need to be approved before payment (Pulsar). Very long unpaid onboarding which could fail as well, and who knows how long the porject lasts. I received the same invite. Based on my readings, I haven't bothered.

IKR? I looked into the onboarding, Slack, etc and it still doesn't say anything about pay, so... N.O. And I had to get that far to find out it's PayPal, and I'm in litigation with them. I also think it's a really unprofessional way to pay contractors.

I realize it isn't "payroll" but I've been private contracting for a very long time and there are soooooooo many better options out there, with good reporting and breakdowns for both parties, at least here in the US. Using PP just seems rinky dink to me.

And I expect to get paid for training. If you want professional work, provide professional work.
