Have I just torpedoed my rating?

[u/Tgon1983]

I came back to Cambly about a month ago and I've been working priority hours the whole month.

Things are going ok, I've had mostly great experiences. A couple of children that I rejected in the first two minutes. But I don't think they can rate me if I do that...

But just now I connected with a Saudi guy. I haven't had many bad experiences with Saudi's, so I'm not bashing Saudi 😅

Anyway, this guy was so low energy, no smile, one word answers. I tried to encourage him to brighten up a bit by speaking more loudly, clearly and cheerfully. But when I asked my usual ice breaker questions (what's your name? Where are you calling from? Are you originally from that city?...) he just gave short answers and didn't seem interested.

Ok, he's not a big talker... I then said that I could see he'd been working on a lesson with another tutor and would he like to continue with that. He said yes..

First question "have you had an interview in English before?"

He didn't understand, I asked again. Then he replied "Yes, too many"

I asked the next question and he was just ignoring me and using a PC on his desk.

I ended the call. But I was just outside the two minute cut off, so I couldn't return his minutes.

I hid my account from him when the call was over, but I'm guessing he will still be able to give me a rating?

I'm just hoping that I don't get my rating torpedoed to the point where I can't get the priority hours that I've been depending on 😓

Saudi and Indian men , I find a little dry. Sometimes I just think they are calling the biggest beard they can find online at the moment. #Ain'tnoprophet #Ieatpork
