Asinine.
Total waste of time.
Predicting an EPIC FAILURE.
I like the swap board. Good for part-timers to pick up hours. - when TSM uses it
[ In Reply To ..]
I notice my TSM has put up shifts of people on vacation (I noticed my shift go up when I take a day off). Fortunately for me, it appears no one
else has paid attention to the swap board as I have had no competition for nabbing hours. Although, my TSM does not always keep up on entering scheduled hours.
Yes, agree the swap board IS nice for giving a heads-up - for when shifts are understaffed.

So if you need to make up hours you don't have to feel guilty about depleting the work availability for someone else.
Curious, what do you mean by your TSM does not keep up on scheduled hours? Are you talking about scheduling your makeup time?

Swap Board Apr 03, 2010I tried the swap yesterday. I put in to give up my shift on Friday, 4-9 as doing the Relay for Life walk that evening. It appeared to take as I had RECLAIM next to my shift instead of SWAP but when I went in today, it said SWAP again. It looked the same as it did before I put in to swap. When I looked on the SWAP board there were no shifts up for grabs and yesterday there were 2 on there??? I redid this again but cannot figure out why I had to redo it. I think it would be great if some ...
Where Is The Swap Board? Apr 08, 2010For some reason I have no schedule this week. Maybe I'm getting fired, but it would be nice if someone told me. I've had the same schedule for the past several years. Where is this swap board that we're supposed to check? I don't see it in TeamWork.
Thanks,
MT2 ...
Swap Board Gone. Aug 15, 2014I used to pick up hours from the swap board, and I notice it has been gone ever since they merged another BOB into the one I am in. :-( TSM would post hours needed for coverage, and being part time, I could pick up some of those hours. ...

Swap Board -- Confused Mar 13, 2010How is the Swap Board going to work when you are locked out after your schedule? Supervisor going to have to MANUALLY unlock you in order to get jobs routed to you? Sometimes contacting them takes hours if not days to get an answer. ...
The Truth About The Swap Board Apr 05, 2010I used Schedule Source for about a year when they were testing it. It's one of those "benefits" they keep talking about. The problem is, if you swap you will be in somebody else's cesspool - getting unfamiliar accounts for which you have to read maybe multiple CPs and get reports where you may have to leave QA markers and spend extra time researching. It's also a mechanism for MTs to dump shifts where they know they will get a specific crummy account/dictat ...
Anyone Used The Swap Board Yet In The North? Apr 07, 2010Just wondering since it just got implemented yesterday if anyone has used it yet. Wanted to post my Friday shift and take earlier hours, but afraid to be the first...yeah..im a chicken. LOL ...
I Don't Quite Get The Swap Board Thing Apr 08, 2010I don't quite get the swap board thing. We were told we could go in and look at our schedule for the month and pick a day there if needed to place it on the swap board. However, my schedule has never been recorded in Schedule Source farther out than 1 week at a time. So, trying to put in any shift times for the swap in advance of the current work week is impossible for me to do. I thought our schedule was suppose to automatically populate for the month. I guess not, and CCM ...
Swap Board Questions, Please Apr 08, 20101. What is the different between MT1 and MT2? I see both listed on the swap board when you see a list for a shift that's available.
2. What if you claim a shift for someone, and then you can't work it? Then you are automatically responsible for the shift? Can you send it back? What happens to the person who thought their shift was covered?
3. What if there are NJA on a shift that you have taken for someone? Do you send a NJA note to Sup ...
Question About Swap Board Apr 09, 2010Does anyone know if in order to use the swap board you have to actually swap a schedule, or can you just grab a schedule and not put one out there? If that is the case, and part-timers are just grabbing some extra time, there may not be any schedules out there to make up time with. ...
Am I The Only One Happy About The Swap Board? Apr 17, 2010Why am I the only one happy about the swap board? I think its a great idea. Being able to swap and pick up hours. I am having a hard time understanding the who "You cannot claim this shift thing". One of the criteria is of it being over your hours. But overall, I think its gonna be good for swapping when your in a pinch.

A Shift For 6p To 9p is On The Swap Board Apr 21, 2010A shift for 6p to 9p is on the swap board.
If I work 8a to 4p, I see the following:
Is ([MASTER] 8am-12pm;) Ok? NO Does this mean I have to be working 8-12 to claim this shift?
Within Max Hours/Week? NO Does this need to be approved because its OT?
These are criteria that give me a message "cannot claim shift". I can't seen to claim ANY shift on this swap board.
If this is truly a "swap" board, shouldn't I be able to swap schedules ...
What Has Happened To The Swap Board In SA4? Jun 09, 2010What has happened to the swap board in SA4? Did I miss a memo saying it was going to be taken down??

Can Anyone Explain The Swap Board? Jul 08, 2013Can anyone point me towards documentation on how the swap board works? I recently started getting TW emails showing my scheduled hours in one column and hours on the swap board in the other column.

How Do You Unclaim Shifts On Swap Board? May 02, 2010I left a message in post to another post about the Swap (swamp) Board. I had wayyy too many hours showing I had scheduled to work. I normally only work 24 hours week (48 hours pay period or maybe 54 at the most). Mine said 66.50 hours scheduled to work. I don't recall asking to pick up that many hours here and there. My CCM said I needed to go in and reclaim the shifts???? She took off where I had approved my timesheet. But I cannot find ...
Performance Management/Swap Board Sep 28, 2010I find that Swap Board is useless, there are never any hours to "swap" Also, am in performance management . They are findings ways to fire me.

Swap Board Stupid/First Time Right Flawed May 04, 2010Swap Board...maybe for part timers..but I will not go near it as a full time person. I am not risking needing a day off by floating a shift, hoping somebody takes it..then finding another shift. I will use other methods.
First Time Right - the accessing old reports part. I have in fact been helped by this a great deal. The problem is it is takes forever to go through a myriad of reports hoping to find the one that possibly will help you. I like the Repository MUCH B ...
Swap Board....back? By Popular Demand? Apr 06, 2015Apparently, my team (lucky us) has been selected to participate in a pilot to bring back the Swap Board. If my memory serves me correctly, it was a ginormous disaster the last time they tried to force it upon us. This on top of the back log of work, mandatory overtime and switching accounts? Really? Am I in the Twilight Zone?
ugh...first resume sent last week...more to follow for sure. ...
Does Anybody Out There Actually Have A Working Swap Board With A Long Schedule Posted? Apr 29, 2010Does anybody out there actually have a working swap board with a long schedule posted? I'm getting so frustrated with this supposedly wonderful tool for us to have. My schedule is never posted farther out than my current work week nor are any available shifts listed farther out than that. I'm really starting to wonder why the CCM is dragging feet so much. CCM has mentioned everything from "unsure schedules are correct" to "waiting for all the kinks to get out." However, any t ...

Any MTs Receive Letter From Coporate Bothering Jan 09, 2010TAA (Trade Adjustment Act) -- given the steep drop in pay for some MTs/MMEs, I would think MQ corporate would be glad to notify us that many MTs can apply for consideration, even if not approved.
Thanks to all MTs that provided this information.

This Is Ridiculous Mar 01, 2011Pinging in and out. Getting booted off. Losing reports. And what slow reports are coming through are all wrong...wrong patients...wrong data in ASR.
