I am writing this review to highligh Project MSPO 1654 suddenly closed and completed work LEFT UNPAID – Unreliable management
I am writing this review to highlight my terrible experience with Acolad regarding the [Acolad-Uber LLM] project (MSPO 1654). After regularly completing the "Data Labeling / Editor" tasks assigned to me, the entire activity was left completely suspended and in limbo for several weeks without any concrete updates.
A few days ago, as if nothing happened, I received an official email stating that the client decided to change the workflow design, deemed the approach "not sustainable," and formally closed project MSPO 1654.
The unacceptable issue here is that the communication makes absolutely no mention of the compensation due for the time and effort I dedicated to the tasks already completed on their platform (including several REWORK batches). The work was performed as requested, and the sudden closure is entirely due to the client's or Acolad's decisions, certainly not the freelancers'. It is shameful for a company of this size to dismiss professionals with a simple "thank you for your support" without settling outstanding payments.
I strongly advise against relying on this specific initiative due to its total instability and the complete lack of financial protection for workers. I expect my position to be regularized and the work I performed to be paid, as it is only fair.
