 tropicalbenzo I worked all day today and Thursday shifts for English speaking agaents were not posted, at least not from 8:30am - 2:00pm and then from 4-5:30pm CST.  Are you sure you aren't talking about shifts especially posted for your Spanish speaking agent hours?

 cookiebakingmom,
 
 Thursday hours were posted today probably between your shifts.  I can't remember exactly the time (early afternoon) they were released; only how very grateful I was to get a few.
 
 I wonder if there will be hours for Good Friday.
 
 I appreciate you sharing your viewpoints concerning West.
 
 Thank you.

  I have camped out at my PC for as much as my life will allow.  I think that is what most of us are doing, and honestly I don't believe I will hang in there with WAH much longer because of this.  It is unprofessional and unreasonable to ask any employee, any person, to commit so much time off the clock, unpaid time, in order to secure hours.  It is basically tantamount to working for free as far as I am concerned. 
 I'll see if I can get hours for Friday and Saturday if they are even scheduling for the holiday, and see what happens.  I refuse to feel guilty for missing the posted hours.  I refuse to feel guilty for picking up my daughter from school, from having dinner with my family, for being a good mother and enjoying my off time.
 
 WAH's scheduling department employees can GO TO HELL!

 I tried to explain the Spectrum system to my SIL this way:  You show up 24/7, however you must take a moment to sleep a bit, etc. and Wham! days' worth of hours are gone.
 
 * Boss, do you need me? *
 
 *  Not now. *
 
 * Now? *
 
 * No. *
 
 And on and on . . . for minutes/hours/days.

 im agree with u guys too......but for example in my case  i work more for spanish recall, correct, and is very very slow sometimes.
 i work 6 , 7  or 8 hours  and i received just 4 or 5 calls  and sometimes are the same person (lolol)... working like that im able to cook, wash clothes, clean my house, go to the supermarket, play with my kids... & more thing, i know an english recall is more fast... cuz i schedule sometimes for english, and i  recieved an 1 hours 4 or 5 calls maybe more.... so i prefer spanish cuz is more relax for me!? but hey cookie dont  quit yet.... just wait, if u see the postive part .... u r working, u r making a little money, just trie to have a plan , like how much u want to work a week how much u want to make a week if u want to work 20 , 15 or 30 just  tried to have ur computer on all the time with the spectum in, and everythime u get up... check and pick.. or read this forum or give me ur phone i call u lololololol, i really d=feel so bad about that cuz i thought this job, is going to be a little different , when i start i was so happy , now im still happy but with not the same smile lolololol......
 my back hurt me , my have a lot a headches  is a lot a stress ...... just thingking about the shifts post, anyway.
 now u see the restrict chat , right..... everyday they making more difficult....
 but soon i thing we going to received new skill, but until now i read , that all the skill are the same omg,.... i really need to be prepared, just dont quit and kepp trying....

 Well I am working as I type.  Have been in since 8:30 CST will log out at 2:30.  Talked to a PAL again about the Spectrum hour hogging macros / bots agents.  Was told that within the next month WAH is rigging the system in such a way that macros / bots will be rendered completely useless.  Agents who are cheating using such programs will not be able to do it ever again and everyone will be on an even playing field.
 
 I feel better hearing this because I have a sinking feeling the reasons newbies like me have it so hard getting hours is because the experienced agents who are cheating with these programs grab up all the hours never going near their computers AND get all the rest and comfort of being able to enjoy themsleves while I go sleepless with worry and tired and stressed through my day.  If macros / bots stop working then the rest of us will have it much much better.

 Oh wow . . . very interesting, cookie.
 
 I hope they will be successful disabling the bots.
 
 Hmmm . . . I hope the same company that wrote the WPR program isn't in charge.
  That program is so ridiculous, IMVHO.

 I agree Julianna, it is totally ridiculous.  I should charge WAH for all the paper and ink I've used on this job jotting down info so I don't feel like an idiot asking the customer for the same information over and over and so I don't have to keep jumping back n forth from the Whirpool website and ADE screens.

 I used to write down all of the info, also; however I stopped as it seemed that the very act of writing was taking as much time as asking again for it all . . .   I just try to explain the "does not auto-populate" deal.
 
 What a pain.
 
 Pitiful programers.
 
 Grrrr . . .
 
 Thank you for your cheerfulness, tropical!

 Hope I haven't missed Fri- Sat. although it would be helpful if West would let us know if the were even scheduling hours for those dates with the holiday that weekend.  How about it friends, did I miss Fri-Sat?

 Tropical,
 
 Have you seen any hours for Friday/Saturday yet?
 
 I wonder if we'll have to stay awake until 2 A.M.
 
 Last night I checked Spectrum every time I awoke.
 
 Absurd.
