Well time has come for "employment separation notice". It claims it's due to not maintaining a standard of quality, but I've always seen review of my tasks in the high 80's and 90's percents. Haven't gotten any reviews the past couple months with so little tasks to complete. So I'm not sure how accurate this explanation really is or if it's just a CYA reason for letting me out of the program. Hoping I can pick up another gig like this soon. I've read mentions of having a 6 month wait period for joining another Lionbridge program. Curious if this still applies. And any of the other companies will restrict employment as well? Anyone have experience with this? Probably the quality bullshit is just the generic reason. The real reason is probably the tasks shortage due to Covid-19 outbreak.
Try to apply again in a few weeks with a different name and email and from a different IP.
Have you ever tried this successfully? I tried it when I originally applied to LB - every time I got rejected I reapplied with a different email and IP until I eventually got a job. I feel like that won't work once you have actually been employed by them. Wouldn't they figure it out when they go to set you up as a new employee and your social security number is already in their system? |

Since I'm from Spain, they didn't ask me for any social security number. I'm just an "independent contractor", so basically my contractual bond with Lionbridge is nonexistent. I just provided them my bank information, my CV and not much else. Theoretically I'm self employed and it's my responsibility to pay the pertinent taxes and such, but obviously I don't do that because it's not worth at all. In Spain, self-employed workers are subjected to very unfair taxes and a lot of tedious bureucracy. Considering how low is the pay for this job (7.5 EUR/h), definitely it's not worth the hassle. |

Anyone else experiencing the Task Not Supported "bug" pretty much all the time for the last few days?

When I was first applying at LB, I got rejected immediately when I mentioned that I worked for Appen or iSoftstone, and I had very different positions at those companies (at Appen I did FB evaluations and at iSoftstone I did transcription). |

i reported the "task not supported" warning last week
they didn't told me much, only it's a system problem , so at least isn't anything related to account restrictions (aka our fault)
if you look besides the "?" icon you'll see the category of task when loading , usually appears when loading audio tasks for me
really frustrating having to deal with persistent NTA and when there's something available it doesn't work
