    Yep. They jumped on the bandwagon with most of the other requesters in lowering their pay rates. The thing is, the HITs still get done at a penny, so they could care less about their old and faithful workers. And even though many of the HITs under the new structure will equate to about 10 cents each, that is the most they will have to pay.

    Lower the base rate, and lower the bonus...more work that they can pay for with the same amount of money as before. Strictly a business move.

    Yep John Brelig's 6 to 10 item hits are better than these.

    Really so you are telling me you would rather have 0.10 and a 0.01 for each 10 items you transcribed. so if you did only 2 items you didn't receive a bonus at all. Some of the bonuses have been very good lately. I am going to say when my bonuses are higher than my actual pay it means that I am actually working smarter not dumber. Please don't do them I will continue to do them myself. Proof is in the pudding.
