You can't make this stuff up

[Operational needs]

Did anyone else have to write their punch out time on their timecard on 2/29? We were told that the punch out computer didn't recognize that it was Leap Year. Wut???? Seriously? How much money did they spend on that system?

 

[Schweddy]

No issues here with 2/29

paper time cards?

paper time cards?

After we do everything electronically all day, a paper time card is printed at the end of the day for us to sign.

 

[Nolimitz]

Same here. I'm assuming anyone on the new Kronos system had to do same.
Best chuckle I've had all year.

We had some note about our punches not being recognized on 2/29...but they didn't tell us to use the old time clock or anything. I'm guessing they'll use our PPAD timecodes and we'll all get OLCCs for not punching in/out properly.

 

[McFeely]

Oh, we also got a note to make sure to open our Dropboxes with the PPAD on 2/29 to make sure the date/time was functioning properly. Too bad the message went out after I already manually opened the dropbox on my route and was at my next PUP...at 16:05.

Not as much as they save by people punching in late because the line takes so long now.

We didn' have to write our punch out time on our timecards - we were however informed we wouldn't be getting paid for that day, as the system didn't recognize its existence.

And I'm guessing you guys Lol'd on that?

Are you all getting the same two messages twice a day, every day? One about printing a back up label and the other about using your Powerpad to open your dropboxes? My Dispatcher said they are required messages from Corporate.

Add those to the list of twenty others we get everyday! Make sure you get all pick ups on time! No e!

Yeah, we get those too, as well as a lot of messages I like to call, "You must......." Messages. Lol.

We think they were dead serious

 

[Mr. 7]

As soon as I see a long message I can't hit "go" fast enough.

No, not at my station. We get one's about it's required to reattempt a business closed or a fixed bad address though.

All bulk delivered by commit time...

Whenever I get a message about having to reattempt a bad address correction, I tell dispatch that I was already sent out at stop count and reattempt is doubtful. Have yet to have a manager talk to me about it. lol

 

[Slick silver]

I've been getting messages about reattempting everything. Friday I had one that said required on a 2 day service for a cell phone.

 

[Slick silver]

Luckily it was a slow day for a Friday and it was on the way back. Have you guys been seeing these messages though.
