Post by: cathyslife on May 03, 2019, 18:48
Just got this email:

Great news!

Your latest payment has been calculated and will be paid out later this month.Total Payment: $0000 (To be paid by 2019-06-15)

——-

Later this month would be 2019-05-15. no?

They didn't actually send you something with $0.00 for the amount, did they?

I received mail with the wrong date (I hope), a way-too-small dollar amount (April really stank at SS and Adobe Stock easily beat them) and a 5+ week wait for payout - 06-15

They did get my contributor ID right :)

This really shouldn't be hard - I know it doesn't really matter, but it's so pathetically inept to fail to check these things before you do a mass mailing. Someone was spending too much time staring out the windows from their luxury offices...

No, the amount was in there and looked correct, I just zeroed it out for this post. I was just amazed that they made a mistake (I hope) on the date. Their emails used to come as just plain text. They’ve fancied it up, but it’s an epic fail.  ::)

I got the email, didn't even notice the mistake. Well spotted.
People make mistakes though even shutterstock's people.
Although email is still my favourite form of communication, it does often seem antiquated.
Emails can't be unsent.

  Another example of a cosmetic swanky change that fails to get the basics right. These seems to apply to 90% of "improvements"

They are probably spending too much of their time admiring their tattoos and luxuriant beards and piercings and seeing whats trending on the web to actually bother with getting things right :D

Yeah, I’m hoping it doesn’t mean we have to wait until June to get May’s payment.

Hopefully, it's a mistake. I haven't been paid later than the 7th in a year

Edit: Just got paid today, got me a pocket full of change.
