I saw the new LB job too. It smells like the abh client to me with the talk of software requirements.

ISS may be worth a try. I'm reading on workplacelikehome that 'our' old client is redistributing a lot of work, presumably to these guys and away from ABH and LB. Pay is apparently somewhat based on quality of metrics with 12USD/hour for 'bad' metrics and 14USD for good ones. 25 hours a week maximum. I'm curious to apply even if just to see how this works for us UK raters, will probably do so and apply for the 'smartphone required' position at LB at the same time. At which point it will be a matter of who contacts me first, if any.

Isn't 12 USD now below the national minimum wage in the UK? It must be very close if not. I'll also give this ISS thing a go

£9 an hour :shocked:

I'd be tempted if i wasn't scarred for life by the client already.

£7/hour - minimum wage is £6.31

Still well below the living wage in places like London.

£7 an hour is minimum wage, when you factor in there is no holiday pay (which would add about 80p an hour on). If the $ drops anymore against the £ it will be less than min wage.

When I first started this type of work it paid almost double min wage! It is skilled work and not sure they will attract the kind of applicants they need with such low pay.

Yep. A job for life this is not.

The wages used to be better didn't they, I think we were both working for LB at the same time at one point. You do have the bonus of claiming back some expenses when you are self employed though.

Have any of you been crowdsourcing for ABH in the last few days? I don't know whats going on but there is literally no available work - and that includes the adult stuff! This was my main source of income so I'm really worried

I crowd source sometimes, but prob not earned more than a couple of dollars all week. Very quiet.
