Redundant Emails?? - nm
Posted: Nov 20, 2014
Anybody else getting inundated with emails from the new TSA regarding a "reminder" about the pay period ending on Saturday? She sends them out almost daily!!! I'm trying to work and having to check my email and see that it is yet another email from her makes me want to pull out my hair!
YES! You and I must have the same POD management - anon
[ In Reply To ..]It's driving me nuts. Some of her emails are just "cut and pastes" from the day before, and the constant reminders about schedules, time cards and pay period ending are getting to be too much.
Same here. If there are issues with certain - POD members, they need to
[ In Reply To ..]address with them specifically. If there is a need to send out the same reminder day in and day out, it clearly is not reaching those it is intended for. I would think wearing the POD timekeeper crown entails more than sending out repetetive (and obviously ignored) emails. Cutting/pasting the prior day's emails really is only an attempt at appearing to look busy. The only thing missing lately are the dumb recipe and motivational emails. Ya just can't win here.
Do they really need - Mt
[ In Reply To ..]A position that just takes care of timecards, pto, etc? Cant give us a raise but can create positions like that? Wonder what it pays.
Let's see how long these new positions last, easy come/easy go - annie
[ In Reply To ..]x
I can't imagine it lasting very long - anon
[ In Reply To ..]My POD scheduling person tells me every time she talks to me how overwhelmed she is. She has almost *400* employees and 2 separate PODs she's overseeing. It's all she can do to keep up with the scheduling needs of hundreds of people with hundreds of holiday PTO requests, people calling out, people who are scheduled to work but aren't, people who aren't scheduled to work but ARE, and everything in between. She told me today she's going out of her mind.
The "position" may last, but I doubt the people will.
Let's hope so. She complains about - sm
[ In Reply To ..]people emailing her & to not bother her with such and such, and goes to great lengths to make us do every single part of her job for her, so if we're doing it all anyway, what do they need her for? Even her rude wording. She can't say something like "I'll be able to approve your PTO" but instead says "I will not GRANT you any PTO unless..." Instead of approaching it as though she has a job to do managing the schedules and working WITH us, it's as if she has decided she rules everyone now & has the power to make us miserable. We all know they create these positions only to eliminate them shortly thereafter. I think I'll actually be happy about it this time.
Ours has said instead of emailing if you have to call in sick, - sm
[ In Reply To ..]you now have to CALL them first. Why? Does she not check their email, which is pretty much the scheduler's only job? It's been good enough and worked fine all these years. I can't wait to call in sick at 2 a.m.
In that case you need to call that - work flow number.
[ In Reply To ..]I've worked the other 9-5 for many years and always had that problem. My fired TSM gave us her cell and let us call her at home any time, even just to leave a message. Now we are only supposed to call the POD people M-F 8-5.
I've never had to do that. It's easy to see an - sm
[ In Reply To ..]email titled TAKING OFF SICK TODAY or whatever. What is a work flow number anyway? Nobody has ever mentioned that in any of my emails.
You do realize - x
[ In Reply To ..]that they're doing you a favor, right? If I'm too sick to work, chances are I'm too sick to get out of bed, turn on my computer, put in my password, wait for my MM-issued computer to turn on, get into the email, remember my latest TSA's name (and pray to God that I remembered to add her to my address book) and send her an email saying I'm sick, can't come in.
Instead, I roll over, pick up my phone, dial the MModal number, enter the correct extension and leave a voicemail. When I'm feeling a little better, then I send a followup email. Easy Peasey.
I have the email on my phone, so to me, that's MUCH easier. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]and you don't have to try to have a coherent conversation when you're delirious with fever or barfing.
I've tried to get the email on my phone. - No luck!
[ In Reply To ..]I'm jealous. Then again, I really only want it on my phone so when I'm off and they offer OT I know about it since I don't turn on my computer on my days off. Hahahahaha! OT...hahahahahaha! I crack myself up!
If they were trying to do us a favor, they would simply say - sm
[ In Reply To ..]whichever way is more convenient. What difference does it make to them? They check their email constantly anyway.
I have always been told to call in (by each TSM I have had. - dnr
[ In Reply To ..]I can't remember what it says officially in policy. I am sure it said at least 15 minutes prior to shift to call. Now that we have a scheduling manager, we have been told we have to call 1 hour before! (she makes up a lot of her own rules).
No matter about calling at 2 a.m., they don't answer the phone anyways. I work night shift, and they never answer the phone. LOL
Emails - Rusty
[ In Reply To ..]I personally hate the daily motivational emails. I never, ever read them. I would be motivated if I worked for a company that truly cared about me. Umm, Immoral, not so much.
Not checking emails? Got an email about that, too - anon
[ In Reply To ..]Email from the POD person overnight saying that it is required to check email at LEAST once a day (preferably before our shift) for updates. It came in a "basic employment requirements" email stating that "not checking emails could be detrimental".
So ... coming to a POD near you. You will be FORCED to read those daily inspirations whether you are inspired to, or not. LOL
Repeated information along with - Debs
[ In Reply To ..]The possibility of mandatory schedule changes due to overstaffing on Tuesday and Thursday. Need to move hours to Monday and Friday after 10 am. My schedule has been the same for years and the hours fit my life...so they can forget about it!!!! ðŸ˜Â¡Ã°Ÿ˜ˆ
MANDATORY SCHEDULE CHANGES - disgusted
[ In Reply To ..]Wish I could get a schedule change.. have been on PM's for almost 10 years..would like daytime..they say that there is none available....no one ever gets fired? and needs to be replaced? I don't believe that!
Gotta love the "new client profile" emails. - x
[ In Reply To ..]I must have gotten half a dozen emails this past week saying "I've requested a change be made to the CP, which will read...." And how we're supposed to follow that edit to the CP effective now. Ummmm...I have over 25 accounts now. It's a pain in the butt to read the CP for every report that comes through because I never get the same facility 2 reports in a row, and now you want me to check my email for this too? Nope! When it gets into the CP I'll see it and follow it. Until then, you just wasted your time and mine by emailing me.
And if I follow that email and QA (or whatever acronym they go by now) will ding me because it goes against the CP. And what am I supposed to say? Oh, you sent an email saying you requested a change to the CP, which still hasn't happened months later, so you should reverse the QA ding? Nope, not happening.

I work NY Eve, NY, Easter, 4th of July, Labor Day, Memorial Day, etc. But even though there's never any work on those 2 major holidays, apparently now we MUST work one of them, i.e., ruin all family plans just to get NJA all day anyway. ...
