And so it goes again, same stuff, different AI Training company, just ugh

So I had bad luck with Telus and now applied to them all where possible. Just got my "you failed the interview" from Micro1, with a redirect to get detailed reasons why I failed and of course, no details just another we hope to see you for your next interview. I do not want to waste another hour and a half retaking something that I have no idea what was wrong. The feedback loop for these companies SUCK! If you want humans to help, then treat us with some respect. This is so soul-sucking. Here is my suggestion: have some damn feelings, oh wait, Zara is a machine.

Bad AI training job experience

I’m typically a very positive person and also consider myself smart. Retired after 35 years as a developer. But my short time with tel-us was not positive and made me feel “dumb”. I live in the US.

  1. guidelines? Not the best.
  2. feedback = none.
  3. no idea what you are getting per task until you get paid and realizing it is way less than the job posting.
  4. emails never replied too.
  5. crazy timelines for tasks (having to set a timer per task as a person with OCD was way tooooooo stressful).
  6. and still baffled on how you can rate quality on such subjective work.
  7. being told to look at the guidelines for every task is no way possible, especially for 10 windows in a SMS task.

I know many people love the work, just not for me. Life is stressful enough without having to be on a timer a few hours a day (and then realize how little that is compensated for). Not for me. Peace Out and Deuces to that! Wish all of us in these hard times to find peace and happiness !
