What's the point of Spark when the TSM never signs in? - I mean NEVER.


Posted: Feb 10, 2014

She's not available on email, she's not signed into Spark and she doesn't answer her phone, or she's off on vacation. This happens day in, day out.

Useless - NTS MLS

I don't even use it anymore. I used to for about the first week, but my manager was never on it, nor was anyone who could help me with anything. Plus, on the rare occasions I did get someone to help me with a question, they would just quote account specifics and not really give an answer. Waste of my time.

TSMs, useless, indeed!! - anon

Does Anyone Log Onto SPARK?
Jun 09, 2014

After getting blessed out for not answering an e-mail on webmail - just wondering what's up with SPARK?  Web mail logs us off after a few minutes. How inconvenient it is to go back and log on throughout the day to see if perhaps there's a fire to put out!  Isn't that what's SPARK is for?  Interesting how no one is ever logged onto it except our Indian counterparts. ...

Signs Job Outsourced

I have read the conversations here with such deep compassion for the fear and hopelessness most are experiencing in this transition from proud profession to extinction.  From my cocoon of full benefit hospital system position, I still deeply empathized with my fellow MTs in distress.  I have the sense that I will soon join your ranks and would like to ask what are the signs that your hospital/service is preparing to "save money" by throwing their dedicated employees into the giant cess ...
