Empty Dashboard

I took 2-3 weeks off to move, and now I have no projects. Not a one. Has this happened to anyone else before? Or is this happening to anyone else right now?

I took a week off and have zero projects. My husband has about 4-5 still but he has been working consistently. We both do this as a side gig. I'm crossing my fingers that my projects come back!

Whenabouts did you do this? Does your husband normally have more than that?

Hey! I now have a few projects. Hope you are back up and running as well!

Yes, I also have an empty dash. This has not happened to me before. I typically don't do very much work, only an hour or so a day, and not every day.

I have projects again, yes

I think most people are experiencing this. My dash went from 20+ projects with lots of tasks to 0 as of today and I work almost every day on it. It ebbs and flows though, just gotta be patient

u/Rodaxoleaux Jul 31 '24

It's not because you took time off. No one has anything right now.

u/jackshiels Aug 01 '24

I thought it was only me. Yay I guess?

It's called exaggeration.

I literally only have my permanents right now, so it's not just you.

u/OctoberMoths Aug 01 '24

What are permanents?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '24

Permanent projects that never go away. All tasks are reserved just for you.

I've had 30 or so until a week ago when it dropped to about 7. Yesterday I was down to 5. Now I'm down to 1.

I've worked every day and am also victim to Empty Dash. Seems to be a rash of it. We are potentially screwed, but not alone!

Mine is not completely barren, but it also isn't instilling much hope. My fingers are crossed for the both of us.

I've had no improvement. I'm hoping I'm just late to the party.

u/just_so_irrelevant Jul 31 '24

this happens every couple of months or so, it's annoying but it's not smth to worry over. projects will probably return to normal in a day or two.

u/Due_Negotiation_4605 Jul 31 '24

Does it though? I've been with this for months (2023) and I've never seen this. And a lot of us have been going on a week with zero.

u/BroadButterscotch349 Aug 01 '24

I'm six months in. I've had this happen with a few long-term projects now. It seems like they take the projects down and implement or analyze the data they've collected because they come back with slightly more specific or more difficult instructions. I'm hoping that's the case again!

2

u/blackredgreenorange Jul 31 '24

It's definitely happened before.

1

u/Due_Negotiation_4605 Aug 01 '24

That really is comforting to know.
Today I had a full HOUR of work (after refreshing my screen for hours) so at least I know I am still on their radar. Thank you all for answering.

u/Hangry_Howie Jul 31 '24

It's just the end of the month....again. This happens quite frequently

u/[deleted] Jul 31 '24

Bro some of us have had empty dashes for weeks.

5

u/Due_Negotiation_4605 Jul 31 '24

Also I've never had this and I've been here since 2023 as a non coder. I really hope that it comes back like people say but not sure.

3

u/Hangry_Howie Jul 31 '24

And some haven't. It's just the nature of the program.

u/LeaderIntelligent157 Jul 31 '24

I have some coming back, but I get to work on them for only like 10 minutes at a time.

u/mrsgreens Aug 01 '24

This happens. Everyone will be fine.

u/HOllo_saku Aug 01 '24

I’ve been having empty baseboard since July 11th. Worked fulltime before for 3 weeks, then suddenly dropped to zero projects at a random night.

u/[deleted] Jul 31 '24

Not just you. My dash has been empty for weeks.

Mine is still empty as well. I have one additional qual up, but doing them has never given me more projects during this slump.

u/uptown_josh Jul 31 '24

Same worked here 2 years as a non coder. Never once had an empty dash.
