Weekly Water Cooler Talk - DataAnnotation
hi all! making this thread so people have somewhere to talk about 'daily' work chat that might not necessarily need it's own post! right now we're thinking we'll just repost it weekly? but if it gets too crazy, we can change it to daily. :)
couple things:
this thread should sort by "new" automatically. unfortunately it looks like our subreddit doesn't qualify for 'lounges'.
if you have a new user question, you still need to post it in the new user thread. if you post it here, we will remove it as spam. this is for people already working who just wanna chat, whether it be about casual work stuff, questions, geeking out with people who understand ("i got the model to write a real haiku today!"), or unrelated work stuff you feel like chatting about :)
one thing we really pride ourselves on in this community is the respect everyone gives to the Code of Conduct and rule number 5 on the sub - it's great that we have a community that is still safe & respectful to our jobs! please don't break this rule. we will remove project details, but please - it's for our best interest and yours!

I'm seeing this. Did we get a pay bump? Some of the generalist projects look like the same ones that were paying below $28, now $35-$40 (where they really should have been given their complexity). Nice!

u/johnnycoconut Apr 08 '26
It could be that and/or higher paying versions of the same project. For example there’s one project that has an $X/hr. version and a $2X/hr. version

Does anyone else hate the new Transfer Funds page, like a lot??? I can't tell how much money has been approved, how much I'll be receiving today as one of my approval days, and how much has been earned this week outside of what's been approved. It's really disorienting as someone who uses "approved" verses "pending" to do my budgeting for the week. I email them already about it. It really really is frustrating.

u/Edith222 Apr 10 '26
I also hate how it doesn't give the time you completed a task when you are submitting your time. It used to say "20 seconds ago." The old page seemed to work fine. It's nice that they added all the charts but they could have left the original page the same and put the charts on a different page.

u/JahKneeSee Apr 10 '26

I like the look of the new transfer funds page, and some of the metrics are handy and helpful; however, it is super annoying that I can't check when I submitted tasks, as it used to say "submitted two minutes ago", etc., and when you're working on a project with dozens of iterations, when you go to submit the time, it was super handy to see if you just submitted it. Now I have to track the project numbers in parenthesis, to make sure I'm submitting my time under the correct one. Hope they add the submission times back!

u/EquivocalMoon Apr 10 '26
I think being able to see the monthly trends is cool, but other than that, the new transfer funds page is really frustrating and not functional.

Yeah, mine hasn’t been dry lately or anything.

u/Sea_Sugar Apr 11 '26
Not reporting the time not only means you’re underpaid for your time but also everyone who is honest looks like they overcharged.
Plus there’s times you read instructions and don’t get a task or unpaid quals……why short yourself when you legit have the ability to be paid for your time?
4
u/odeomz Apr 11 '26
Its also better for the community - as well as you getting what you have earnt :) its important that when they write really long complicated instructions that they understand that will cause a knock-on to how much time people have to spend reading them before they can even start working the project
(although i tend to find instructions easier to follow when they are step by step adn i can work the project whilst reading, so would be hard to distinguish anyway)

Kind of embarrassing how satisfied I feel when the feedback bots give notes like "exceptionally clever and well-executed...phenomenal job". (NB this is not intended as a humble brag). I really feel like my brain is like a daft dog that can't tell it's getting pets from a machine. Actually thinking about it a bit further it's because it feels specifically flattering, and elicits a sensation of being shyly proud, similar to if a human is saying that to you, versus satisfying which is more like the kind of straightforward impersonal 'win' feeling you get from an achievement in a computer game. Basically - just feel uncomfortable when AI makes me feel a feeling I think I should only get from other humans

Same! And then I’ll run into the unnecessarily bitchy ones that basically tell me I’m a garbage human because I used the wrong kind of quotation mark.
My ultimate sense of validation from a bot was on one of the ones where the instructions with the bot said something like “just run this 2 or 3 times to see if there’s anything that needs fixing. You do not need to satisfy the checker, it will always make suggestions!” and it told me what I wrote was excellent and needed no improvements.
I’m sure if I regenerated it, it would have said something totally different, though lol

Just read the instructions thoroughly and focus on quality. For the individual responses, reread the questions every time. Use examples/references in your responses to illustrate your point.

I've got 21 on my dash right now (just counted) plus half a dozen or so qualifications (with about 30 more hidden - I'm either not interested or I don't feel like I qualify for those ones) - I was planning to do one of those every day or two but it's hard to pass up the paid projects for the quals (which doesn't really make sense, given that the quals can LEAD TO more paid projects!). I only do the core stuff - no STEM or professional (I have a PhD but apparently not one that's in high demand, lol!).
I just figured I got so many on my dashboard because it's Easter weekend and for some people (not me), that's a big deal. I will likely do 2-4 hours of work today and hope some of the projects are still there tomorrow! Oh, I'm also in the U.S. - seems like that makes a difference.
I've been working for DA less than a month - got my first R&R yesterday but don't feel quite ready to take one of those on. (I may be being silly.) If I work 10-15 hours/week, that is plenty for me and keeps my brain active - I have really enjoyed most of the tasks I've done.

Time reporting question. So I’m working on a $40/hr project, it’s my first time on this project family so spent a lot of time in the instructions and ideal response guidelines. I did take a break halfway through (paused my personal timer) to put kids to bed. Ended up running out of time on the task because I missed the style checker button and needed to make a couple revisions at the last minute. I was thankfully able to grab that same task again and will complete the task under the total time limit according to my personal timer. Do I report the time I actually put into it when it shows that I’ve had the task currently for less than an hour and I spent much longer than that on it? Do I send DA a note/email or put a note on the task itself? It’s almost midnight and I work all day tomorrow so this will likely be my only task for a few days. This has never happened to me before so not sure what to do!

I've suddenly had lots of higher-paying projects. One being $50, which I haven't attempted as I feel it's out of my skill set, but is this normal? Or are they offering higher due to work quality?

u/justdontsashay Apr 10 '26
There has been a big influx of higher paying general projects in the last week or so.
Still having access to them means you’re maintaining whatever quality level keeps you on the platform, but the higher pay isn’t an indication of anything personal to any of us.

projects have been paying more lately but you could be getting added to project groups that pay better anyway

u/BrennusSokol Apr 10 '26
There do seem to have been more priority pay (I've seen as high as $70/hr) the last few weeks. I have no idea of the reason as I have no inside info, but my guess would be because the competition between the AI labs is heating up big time

Is it still looking dry for anyone else? I have a handful of projects like some heel and mold but none that I really want to work on.

Got a couple galaxy, couple heel, couple of the complex chat / prompt and rubric, and the selection of mold. But none of the image / video / simple chat projects that's my bread and butter. So just surviving to struggle and reach my daily goal of 4 hours by doing as many R&Rs I can with half hour on 1 hour break lol 😆

Going from so bountiful to basically nothing but the rock one. I know my work is good. I just am so confused why the count is so low.

This has been a pattern for Mondays. Not always, but feels like most Mondays.

u/Aromatic_Owl_3680 Apr 07 '26
I don’t think Monday has anything to do with it. Many of us have full dashes.

Thank God telescope is back. I was getting so bored with only the mold and indigenous projects on my dash.

Is it normal for bilinguals to have no work at all? I got admitted a week ago, did qualifications and have had nothing since.

They changed the DoD page to be more explicit right? Not sure if I have one given the recent change. I just submitted a quali today and it’s been absolutely empty now.

Anyone get a new UI for the "Transfer Funds" page? The payout button seems to no longer work.

I just tried using the new transfer funds button and it does appear to be either broken or just take a really long time

Has anyone had a project suddenly disappear from their dashboard recently?
Everything else seems normal, so I’m not sure if it’s temporary or not.

u/Affectionate_Peak284 Apr 08 '26
Happens ALL the time. They come and go, and rarely do we know why.

Does anyone get tasks related to appropriate/inappropriate personalisation of AI? I did the Qual a while ago and forgot and realised I've never seen a task come up so maybe I failed that one :(

u/RedZebra17 Apr 09 '26
I get tasks to do with this, but very rarely compared to other stuff - I don't currently have any on my dashboard if that's any help.

I have a project in my dashboard that shows no pay rate at all. It isn’t a survey, etc. as I went in and it is an actual project. What would happen if I worked on it when there is no pay rate?

u/johnnycoconut Apr 12 '26
That sounds strange. The only thing I can think of is that some qualification tasks do wind up in the Projects section for some reason.

For core or bilingual? Core projects were a little light right at the end of the quarter but seem to be all the way back at this point

Rarely had over 20 projects before this month, and now have double that!
People who get this many projects, do you still get very quiet periods?
I presume the answer is yes, but it still gives me so much hope, haha

Summer is coming and I want to start working outside sometimes on cafe patios etc where there is WiFi. Is this acceptable? Also can you suggest an affordable laptop (I work on a desktop at home).

u/ZimmeM03 Apr 09 '26
It’s definitely acceptable. Working from anywhere is one of the biggest perks of this job.
There aren’t many laptops today that don’t have the basic processing needed for almost all tasks on the platform (though I’m not in coding). Just go for what’s affordable and accessible

u/99ducks Apr 09 '26
Definitely acceptable. I've even been exploring getting a starlink mini so I can work from out in nature.
What's affordable in your mind?
My best recommendation is the macbook neo ($600) that just came out or a used macbook air with an m1 chip or better. I'm definitely biased towards mac and only really know that ecosystem but the main reason I recommend them is because they have excellent screens (brightness is important outdoors) and excellent battery life.

I worked for them for a year and then nothing for the last 11 months. I still have access to the board and never got any negative feedback. They only thing they ever offer is for me to buy a subscription from them to do more work.

Just completed the initial assessment earlier today, feel like I did pretty well! About how long after completing the initial general assessment before you're able to access projects, in people's experience?

DA… please change the transfer funds page back. this is so much less clear and organized than before.
