Ok so I had some good news, I've finally been added to project Ogden and can start work - yay! The odd thing is I've had 2 'welcome' emails and one says I'm to work on desktop only and the other mobile only, both project Ogden but one is a separate version it says. Anyone else got this and know if I've actually got 2 jobs at once?

Oh no, in the second email it states both that I'v been added to the mobile tool AND that I can only access it via a desktop so now I'm thinking it's one project...

Appen has always been all over the place, I think it depends on the PM as to how good the project runs. I have one where support is friendly and reply quickly, another is a 'paine' the emails are blunt to the point of being rude and they rarely reply to tickets, if they do its a blunt reply.

Think I've got the new ob sorted, just having batch issues I keep have to put tickets in for. And am still going back and forth about December!

Is there any way to see which surveys I've already done? Every day I get reminders for all the different Facebook surveys and stuff but I find it hard to remember which ones I've done in the allowed period.

I am doing 3 different ones currently, one that is once a week, one that is twice a week and the one that is every other day. I have a spreadsheet with it on so I can keep an eye on it. They do put them on the invoice running over the month but it takes a week for them to go on there.

Yeah I had a look at the invoice but the last ones aren't on there yet.

The spreadsheet idea is good I'll have to do that!

I am also doing three at the moment and I keep a record of every completion in a spreadsheet too, so I can drop them a line if i don't get paid for any at the end of the month.

Ooh that's another good reason for it too.

I made one a little while ago so hopefully this will help :)

I'm doing the above 3 and one that is manual invoicing so I too have them all written down. Also screenshot the completion page of everything you do as I've had to claim for odd ones that haven't auto invoiced and they ask for screenshots as evidence.

They were having some issues a little while back, their advice was to clear all cookies and try again and it did work for me when I couldn't log in.

I went to to rate on nile project today but it doesn't work, no sign of it on the appen site either. Have I been removed without even a notification or reason why? or is there some other issue going on?

So just come out of a month long hospital stay, had a nasty fall which required surgery.

I let appen know I wouldn’t be able to do the required hours (for the one project I’m on that has work) until I was home, explained why and asked not to be removed. Received a reply that I wouldn’t be removed and they hoped I got well soon.

So I received an email yesterday removing me from the project. Replied explaining is already contacted them etc. They apologised and said it wasn’t because I missed the required hours and was simply because they have too many people.

No other projects I’m assigned to has work, two email with supposed work every week but the link is always dead and apparently they’re aware of the issue and have asked not to send tickets about it anymore.

Bit gutted as I really need the extra cash right now (doesn’t everyone!).

I am very sorry to hear this although sadly not surprised. This work is very much like gig work and they can get rid of us whenever they like. I wish you a swift recovery and hope you get on a new project soon.

I know. I’m just having a bit of a winge at their timing. But I do understand that’s how they work.

Thank you for the well wishes!

Outside of the 4 month break I’d had solid work there every month for a year. Yes it was for a week a month but I managed to do more than enough hours to make the project worth it for me.

So a bit gutted to have been removed from it.
