GBDeceptive 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.

I Tried to ask them for help and calling them many times, and they told me to wait 7 business days, 30 days and now more than 30 days I still haven't received the info on the whereabouts of my money. I also called other worst company HYPERWALLET who keep telling me to complain to workmarket despite I AM paying for the transfer fee and returned fee which cost me more than 20 dollars. As for now I still havent received my money back while both of them play pretend to know nothing about it.

GEThey just deleted my one account… They just deleted my account without reason and notice! When I tried to log in, got notification that my account "is terminated due to US economic and trade sanctions", even I'm living in Finland and account is Finnish. After that I called them and they say that account is not possible to renew, I should create new one. They just deleted it without any notification, few years old one, verified account, with vary passed tests and agreements. Now all connections have been gotten throught years with companies are lost, and I can not receive payments! Situation is terrible and such irresponsible from their side
