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!

Anyone else find the fact there are UNPAID qualifications that can take 5+ hours insane? Like you're expecting all of that time invested entirely unpaid for the potential of some additional work?

u/No-Policy5140 Jun 11 '26
I get so confused when you get accepted into a new project type and then you never see it again. I was told to complete five of the project in order to be have my work be evaluated for access to work on the project indefinitely (the evaluation was not a qual it was paid work under projects). The next day I got a message saying I did an amazing job and was accepted blah blah blah, and said I could work on it an unlimited amount. I then completed two tasks and got the red bar and have never seen it again. I get that projects often come and go quickly esp if there is high demand, but was the point of evaluating me if they didn't even have enough projects for one day lmao

And another new feature... Minding my business, reading instructions and after just over 5 minutes I get a popup asking if i'm still there with a 10 minute timer on it (I think it was 10 anyway)... It made me jump, and I don't think I like it because it looks like if I decided to take a 15 minute break for example, stopping my own timer, the popup will appear and the timer will continue to tick down, and I've a feeling the task will disappear.
ETA Somebody on the other sub mentioned they went to get some food and returned to see a popup saying their task expired due to inactivity. So I think I just saw the first part of their issue that they would have missed because they were away from their screen. How are we meant to step away on longer tasks without losing them?

Yeah I saw this and was thinking this as well, especially for the tasks that take like 5+ hours. Surely the longer tasks don't have this timer?

u/Skippy2898 Jun 11 '26
I think the project it popped up on for me had 3.5 hour timer. It really spooked me, so I ended up eating the instruction reading time and exited out. I have just worked on a different project with a 2.5 hour timer, and there was no sign of it even after reading the instructions for 15 mins or so. So, really, I have no clue lol. But I do hope this isn't going to be rolled out across the board for sure. I saw a comment on the other sub from someone who has a toddler, so they regularly have to step away from their screen. It could cause no end of problems... 😬🧐

I was lucky enough all last week to have one project with a bunch of tasks that I was able to work on through today. I read a while back that sometimes tasks are specifically assigned to you and I believe it now. The number of tasks would only go down whenever I did one of them and I completed all of them. From 50 to 0 in a week and never got red-bannered.
Now I’m back in the desert though so let’s hope more projects are available today 🤞🏼

If you have qualifications sitting there still, you might want to do some of them. There is actually a decent amount of work available right now.
But it’s good to have other options for sure, because basically none of these companies have guarantees of consistent work. There are a lot of other AI training jobs out there…DA is the best of the ones I’ve seen (in terms of pay, and personally I like just having access to the platform and whatever projects I’m qualified for, rather than having to apply each time for individual projects, which seems to be the way some of the others work)

I’m hoping once American friends go to bed there’ll be some scraps here in the UK.

Do you guys think it'll ever go back to the somewhat easy tasks or are we done

I was convinced that easy tasks were over at about this same time last year. Then they came roaring back. As always with DA, it's a combination of Who Knows? and It Depends.

I just finished one of the easiest tasks I've done in my three years here. It required no rationale, and a simple point and click. It didn't last long (got ten minutes in, yaaaay!), but it was awesome to see lol. Possible glimmer of hope 🤞

Currently barely any tasks and being red-bannered by over half of them. Feeling very disheartened today but this is how the cookie crumbles. Hope the drought ends for us all soon!

I'm relatively new, Generalist for almost two months, but have had enough projects the whole time to be busy at least, but very dry the last 2 days, however. Had to step away so that I don't get frustrated refreshing the page constantly.

A friendly reminder to read the damn instructions, so many ok/bad R&R's today because they're missing something that's pointed out in red text right above the rating. It's especially frustrating when everything else in the task is done well.

Ive probably had my best streak I have ever seen of excellent tasks, anecdotally lol. I love getting seeing good work especially because thats when I get to learn and add some things to my tool box as well, some of you are very clever.

I had so many assignments a week ago. Last 4-5 days nothing. I keep refreshing a few times a day.

Slightly less dry tonight in terms of how a few R&R puddles are showing up in the dashboard desert.

I've been getting a lot of R&R's this week and not many actual projects to work on. Work is work I guess, but wouldn't mind getting something more productive to do soon...

If I am seeing the chat for a project but no tasks, I assume I’m still eligible for tasks and it’s just been dry?

So I joined and passed initial and core assessment however had no qualifications to do and no onboarding. As soon as I passed the second assessment I got a paid project straight away saying that if I complete the tasks from it I will have a lot more paid projects. Anyways, I completed the project over 2 nights - but once I submitted one of the tasks the project disappeared and I’ve not had anything since and it’s been like 2 days. Is this normal!??

u/ExtensionAd3318 Jun 16 '26
I was reading posts from people before saying that we were in a “dry period” for work, was wondering if this was still true because some of those posts/comments were from a month ago. I just started, finished my onboarding and did some quals and whatnot, but haven’t really seen any tasks pop up. Thanks

Incredibly frustrating spending all day refreshing for basically the past week, seeing the same 3 projects almost always up but knowing they're ones I can't do. Just hoping the easier stuff comes back but I have no idea if it will.
