Title: Today is almost 21
Post by: namussi on January 20, 2018, 07:20
Almost bedtime on the 20th in my part of the world.

It's definitely the 20th on the west coast of North America.

But still no stats.

4 AM on a Saturday.  I wouldn't worry about it until Monday.

Mamma mia, be quiet, one or two days more will surely not change your life…

Yeah but that's not the point. A contract is a contract and we should have them by the 20th. Anything later is just not good enough in my eyes.

Its so cute that you would think that Getty's interpretation of a contract would be the same as ours.

worst month of the year despite a good number of sale....my rpd felt to 0,33 compared to year 0,75.
with this red and 0,15 is really appalling to contribute to this agency.

it's on now.  what a disaster 0,31 RPD

For me RPD is down to 0,46$ from 0,63$ the previous month and 0,73$ the month before. Pretty bad month in general.

It takes three months for a payout these days. Used to be once a month.

I I cycle between $600 to $300 a month. The swings are huge. Dec was a $300 month, down $150 from Nov.

Lowest 22c (presumably there will be connect payments elsewhere), highest $12.50. average $2.
For earnings: 3rd best month of 2018, third worst full Dec since I started. Only last year and 2007 were worse.

But you are correct on all

I had a big shock when I looked at my earnings for December.  It was about the usual number and quite a few under 10 cents with a low of 3 cents.  But I had one sale supposedly for $2699 with my 15% cut being just under $405.  Is that even possible?  I've had some decent ELs there before but my take was never over $100.  The other weird thing is that it was in a batch of "Fixed usage fee" sales from July - are they often that late with their reporting?  With those removed it was my worst month in many years, but with those added in it was the best in quite a while.  We will see if the payout comes in January.  In the meantime I'm going to do an image search to see if that one was used for a major ad campaign or something.  If you can really get sales like that I might start uploading there again.

Leaving soon if nothing changes. Worst year in many, lowest RPD lowest RPI. When do people stand up and say, we aren't going to take this anymore. I will before end of the year if no changes.

Best month last year thanks to large Getty sale. Earnings slightly up for the whole year, every other agency was down on the previous year.

What's we the "we" and the "people" and the promises? Noone is twisting anyone's arm. Just do it.

Yes I will do this for myself and join the rest who already left last year and before. I don't know why I keep waiting. You're right.
