Wow so you knew you were going on vaca ( and admittedly so probably really looking forward to it) BUT you didn't get a sheet of phone numbers ( or at least the main number) to get in touch with SOMEONE in the building??!!
When did I say I didnt have a phone number? What I said was I think its a better setup to have an online schedule then to call and
"maybe catch management when they are in their office". Since I don't know the start time I don't know what time to call seeing that management is going to be in their office for only a short while before the shift starts. Sure I could call very early and leave a message, but then I risk management calling me up 3 hours before the shift starts and then I can't get back to sleep. Sorry guys I just think that an online schedule is a better setup then to rely on calling people if I don't know the start time.
You said you don't feel like going in early? WTH not? You like your job don't you? Better safe than sorry and risk being late because you didn't want to be inconvenienced
Maybe its just me, but I'd prefer not going in at a time that I "think" is early when I could be sleeping during that time. How do I know how early I am going in if I don't know the start time to begin with? Guessing what Monday's start time is by going off what the previous Monday's start time was, is just a guess.
If you are allowed cellphones in the building, almost all of them have a 'notes' app built-in ( or you can even put in the time on your calendar AND set the alarm so you get up in time
The schedules for the following week are often not posted until very late in the week. If I miss noticing it posted on Thursday is it really that crazy to see how its easy to forget to write it down on my way out the door Friday? Its just as easy to forget to write it down on paper then it is to enter it into a cell phone.
Listen guys I understand that its my fault for not writing down the next work days start time before leaving, even if managements method of posting the start time is mediocre at best. I know that calling a fellow pt'er or a supervisor or manager will work most of the time, even when coming back from vacation I had no chance to write the start time down. I know that I can estimate the start time and just get there a little earlier then that and its not that big of deal and will most likely work. If someone doesnt know the next work days start time they either have to talk to someone in person, drive to the building to find out, guess the start time and get there early, or call someone. I'm sure many pt'ers never see another pt'er outside of work, and driving to the building to check the start time is just silly. I'd prefer not guessing the start time and end up loosing that sleep. So that leaves calling as the only option. Add the option to check an online schedule, and for me the online schedule is a much better option.
If you guys think an online schedule is a bad idea or it wont happen, then fine I'm done here.
Also it appears nobody knows tomorrows Preload start at the Norwood, MA building, since 4:20 was probably a joke.
