Deceptive work order wages I am thankful to be a part of a platform that allows people to connect with potential buyers to earn income. It has been freeing not being a part of it a traditional W2 work paradigm. What I have noticed happening though is potential buyers looking for skilled workers at bargain-basement prices. This business practice is generally accepted in a free market enterprise, but is also the source of my contention. My gripe is how buyers attract potential workers with often confusing and misleading wages. I've been afforded a few opportunities to speak with companies posting work on the platform, and have heard on more than one occasion the horror stories of some of the people they've contracted. This isn't surprising considering the way buyers bait a potential worker. Often times the wage will be presented as something like $165 (example). Sounds decent for a work order until you realize that the number represents a potential earning and not an actual earning. That $165 could be for up to 3 hours work. A dig deeper into the work order could unearth an "estimated" time for the job being less than what is being offered, say 1 hour. Now the advertised $165 went down to a likely $55! It is upsetting to see how deceptive the pricing really is. What makes it even more upsetting is when you place a counteroffer looking for the advertised price and are not awarded the job. This is what has prompted me to draft this complaint. The crux of my complaint is this: How is it okay to knowingly use deceptive pricing strategies? I have found that it pays better to accept jobs you are not qualified to do because they take longer to perform, which allows an opportunity to earn the amount advertised. If you happen to be adept at what you do, you make less because you don't require the entire time that has been allotted. Proof of this practice is evidenced by companies changing the work order's terms. I have applied for numerous jobs asking for the amount offered only to see the job details get changed. This means they couldn't find someone to perform the work for less than what was advertised. It's unfortunate there is so much dishonesty out there. It's a shame a gentlemanly agreement to render work isn't enough or even honored anymore, but what is even more disheartening is this platform allowing these conditions to breed this kind of environment. Furthermore, it is sad for a business relationship to be predicated upon a foundation of lies and distrust. In today's economic times, transparency should be the norm, not the exception.

WorkMarket support is Horrible WorkMarket support is Horrible! Not only do they never have representatives available but they never want to spend time doing their job. The biggest concern is that WorkMarket allows companies to not pay you if they do not want to. I have been using the platform for less than a year and WorkMarket has allowed 3 companies to not pay me. All the times that this has happened it was due to the company either not having the proper equipment or materials onsite to complete the job or that they were asking me to do more work which was not on the work order but refused to raise the pay. One company said that they were out of money and couldn't afford to pay me. They told me this after the job was completed a month prior. I had MANY discussions with WorkMarket support but they refused to help and acted like they did not care. I know for a fact that they can suspend companies that rip off the technicians but they will not do that since the companies are how WorkMarket gets paid. So they absolutely do not care about the technicians. Horrible platform to use.

Platform shows jobs available with dates in the past. I also have issues viewing work orders, a messages comes up as " unable to update"es -

Disastrous product Disastrous product, full of bugs. I do not understand, how in 2022 such a product can exist. Simple freelancer sign-up process takes days because of a series of mysterious "unexpected errors" and bugs that the support agents themselves don't know about. Their support staff also takes long or otherwise doesn't follow instructions well. Once you do get into the system after manual assistance, changing your personal details will yet again trigger "internal server errors." If paying freelancers, stay away from WorkMarket. Your time is better spent elsewhere than helping these morons debug their systems. I'm genuinely appalled at the sheer incompetency of this product.
