9 days until Christmas & still no answer on PTO request. Don't they - have to do it by a certain date? nm

Posted: Dec 16, 2012

I put my requests into Teamwork - My supe checks Teamwork regularly

Did you put this in Teamwork or e-mail? I do all that in Teamwork. My supe checks teamwork regularly, so I just check in there now and then for the granted or denied (or however they word that).

You're lucky your super actually does her job. I requested through Teamwork - and have emailed to remind her too. OP

Yes, but unless you want to go up the chain of commands - your wasting your breath

We cant help you get an answer. You have to escallate your request to the TSMs supervisor and then go from there.

I wouldnt even look in TW anymore - Just take it off and dont look back

That's ridiculous that she hasn't approved time off yet. Your TSM sounds like she is on a power trip and wants to keep you sweating it. I'd just take it off or else just log in Christmas morning for 15 minutes and then put in NJA, time off for the rest of the day. I'm too old to play games with these TSMs. Flame if you must!

I dont think she is looking to us for an answer, - just to vent.

If she's the same one who has been posting about this, she knows about escalating requests.

Don't quote me on this, but . . . - Tired MT

I believe you have to put the request through TeamWork's Leave section, and make sure the Notify Manager is selected. That is what my sup told me, and she always responds quickly when I do that.

I did it correctly. She's just waiting until literally the last minute I guess. - OP nm

I am right there with you. - So upsetting

and inconsiderate. I am embarassed to tell my family and friends that it is still pending. They look at me like I have 2 heads for working here.

9 Days - prissy

Obviously, your supervisor is a loser who doesn't do her job. I wish I still had my old supervisor, who didn't give a crap. The one I have now is extremely anal.

here's what I would do - sm

At this point, send her an email that does not make a request. Send her an email outlining when you will be away. That's it.

Do your accounts generally have little or no work on holidays? - wondering

[ In Reply To ..]
If so, just do what I did.

I was denied PTO for a holiday once. I took it off anyway, never logged in to check jobs because I know my accounts are always super low on holidays. So just didn't log in at all, and put work avail for 15 mins as NJA, then put in request for PTO due to NJA and it was approved.

hahaha!

Sorry, but unless you have accounts that are super busy on holidays where they actually NEED most people on working, there is no way I'm giving up family time on a holiday to sit on my computer waiting for work to trickle in. I don't care if they approve PTO or not, I'm not working.

Up until today I had been keeping my head above water because I was an MT>ME, meaning I got all the typing jobs first and then got ASR. Well, today we got served a notice that those requests are no longer being honored and everything is going into one big pool. Just when I think things can't get any worse- THEY DO! ...

Good afternoon, everyone. I have a request if it is possible. Is there anyone here who knows a lot of the companies who I could discuss via e-mail ? I am hesitant to discuss some of the things I am curious about because I don't want to offend anyone or get banned. If this is not possible, I understand. I just have some questions about some of the companies before I decide to apply and someone who knows most of them could really be helpful. Thank you everyone, I app ...

I just typed three-quarters of a report out because the MT gave up after doing a quarter of it. This wasn't sent by accident because there was a QA not stating that she couldn't understand the dictator. I'm not angry, but want to relay that if you really can't understand the dictator, either push on through to the end or, as a last resort, break it and let your CCM know immediately with the job number. You will lose anything you type, but that's the pri ...

Moderator, I am fortunate enough to be a thriving MT and I would like to be able to hold conversations with my colleagues. We don't have coworkers so this board is the closest thing to it and I would like to be able to discuss our advantages, disadvantages, compensation, etc., with the closest I'll come to a coworker without being abused. I don't want to be called insensitive, a liar, a suit, etc., just because I am still a successful MT and would like to share it.&nbs ...

We will not be creating a new board for "positive posts only." You have the choice as to what posts you want to read. If a post is too negative for you, simply do not read it. Everyone has a right to their opinion. I will continue to monitor for foul language, name calling, etc., but will not be trying to decipher what is too positive or too negative for your liking. ...

Ask your CCM tonight to temporarily help out in the South if you are NJA. I hate to draw people to my accounts and risk running out of work, but considering these accounts are going to go late in a couple of hours and they have already threatened to leave if TATs aren't met, it's worth the risk. I just wonder who the bonehead is who handles workflow. I wouldn't think it would be that hard to look at the statistics and move some NJA people to fill in some gaps.&nb ...

When I asked my supervisor, she sent an attachment on how do it, but I don't understand exactly. It looks like I'm supposed to first go into Remedy (?) and request it, then go into Teamwork? I just now tried to go into Remedy, and all I got was a blank page. Everything is so complicated, and I'm so tired. ...

So last week I was "off the grid" at 98 something percent. Okay, so I'm getting 8 cents a line for that week. So, for this week since Saturday (I work Sat-Tues) they have done NO audits at all. What happens then if they don't? I guess they still could, but why do I have a feeling they are NOT going to and then just let last week's audit roll over so I'm still getting 8 cents a line? Granted, I could very well not be on the grid again BUT it' ...

it seems like when I request time off, maybe for 4 lousy hours or whether it be a whole day I either get audited or have a meaningless 1.9 long report come back to me within 20 minutes of requesting time off which the report had the word "the" left out which did not change the report "only educational for the MT" .

I filled out the leave request in teamwork for a week off. Actually a week off, unexcused absence without pay, will make time up, I'm part-time, CCM already knows about it from an earlier conversation. I originally filled it out wrong but now think I did it right. Do I need to inform CCM about it or will she be notified by teamwork? ...

Her CCM has told her to request PTO hours using TW. She (and I) have searched every buttom, menu, and left-click pick-list we could find, with no joy, in that miserably travesty of software. She called 1 800 dictate and the nice Indian gentleman there first proved he was even more ignorant of what TW can do then we are, then firmly stated that it "can't be done. Ask your CCM to do it." Anyone want to help? ...

Dear Super Viser, Please, I would be very much liking to request the transfer of me to be working in India. I am merely asking since I would not find you pinching my pocket any more, but would discover you filling them with many 19 rupees for each one hour of my working. Firstly, in India 19 many rupees an hour is like a king's ransom so I would be liking that muchly, and I already have mastered the speaking of English. ...
