Please advise:
Asked a PAL in Chat if I was logged in and got an affirmative.
Asked 15 min. later and another PAL said no.
(No calls during this time.)
Called a PAL, Help Desk, took screenshot, sent e-mails everywhere.
I don't want to lose this time.

43 minutes...I missed it by 43 stupid minutes. So sick of this inconsistent extrementfrom WAH. They were so focused on getting rid of THurs - Sat that nobody wanted until they put up Mon - Tues...that's why I missed them...last 3 weeks prior it was always at the same time. Think I'm going to be ill.

is easy ! go to pay information , then pay summary, THEN chek the specific date. Right there u gonna see when the period end, when u gonna receive date payment.. after u check the day, you would see all the payments details: pay by talk pay by work time pay per contact .... ..... etc so click in pay by work time and right there u would see ur schedule time, how many minutes u work, if u have any trouble with the ade u would see it too, cuz u gonna see less time.... but listen dont worry if u would see for example time: 8:00 to 8:30 suppost to be u work 30 minutes but maybe u would see 28 m or 25mi...... u need to wait like 72 hours so the system update... also if you work 4 example, 8 hours x 7.50= 60 or 10 hours x 7.50= 75 maybe u would see 62 or 79 more than u work that is fine, perfect!!! get worry if u seen 58$ or 70$ ,that mean less of ur paid,,,, cuz they dont paid the whole time that u was working..... how come is a few dollars more cuz, when u get earlier in ur ade, or after ur shift end u still on a call, or any extra....so thats good u know what i mean also u can chek moren things if u want ...............see ya!

Oh golly, Cookie. I'm so sorry. I know that its maddening.
I awoke in the middle of the night last night and thought, "I should log in and see if they've posted hours!" Then I realized what I was doing and thought this is beyond ridiculous; I needed my rest.
Wish I could help . . .

I hope this project lasts at least a few months. It will take a while for everyone in the US and Canada to get the news about this recall .
I don't know much about the other jobs but I think this is pretty cushy...no upselling and paid by the hour, easy peasy. We just basically have to be nice to these poor people who are afraid their refrigerators might spontaneously combust at any second.
You're right Tropical, I've heard all skills pretty much have to fight for hours like we do.
I've read in other places that you don't want to take DR (Direct Response?). Some people mention feeling slimey about talking little old ladies into buying things they don't need. Others also mention that with DR you are encouraged to upsell but the agent gets no extra compensation / commission for the effort. I also am reading that if you accept DR you won't ever be offered another skill again. You will be stuck in DR until you voluntarily quit DR and then there is no gaurantee you'll be offered something else. I'm staying the heck away from DR.

I do believe that this skill will continue for quite a while. It seems that WP is spacing the mailing of the direct mail letters so as to *try* to not overwhelm the system. At the end of last week many customers received their letters and then we were getting totally swamped with back-to-back calls for hours on end. That was rough.
I, also, have been reading about other skills. Well, all I can say is, "They don't call it 'work' for no reason." LOL.
Cookie, have you been able to get a bunch of trade hours? Hope so.
Good Morning Shannon, Star, and Tropical! 
Tropical, I would like to hear more about your DR experience.

ok july about my dr fail lololol, i didnt know, that the test will be like that, for me was little difficult cuz i didnt take to much notes or any shot screen. I thougt was more easy so when i do the first test, i pass but i also didnt know after each curse or text, i need to do a test, i was worry , u know this is my first time...anyway, then the second test i fail but system give u another chance so u are able to look the bad and the good answer but when u repeat the test they change the position of the question is the same ? but in random......but i dont know....so i was not able to a least, have the correct answer note.
I didnt know the system give me another chance so i fail completly both opportunitys, and end of the story lololollolol... is really my fault not to read all the directions , anyway i send e-mail to west i call to everybody but not one said nothing straight for me, only wait for new skills, others said: sorry we dont give any opportunity and bla bla bla bla, then i receive a invitation for whirlpool recall so i was fortunate to receive a new chance .... i was very happy that day so im here cuz 4 luck! loololol. i really dont have a lot an experience with west but is u read this forum u would find more info.... i read some people doesnt receive another chance, also anothers who call west and e-mail west give her a new opportunity, also another people who apply after 4 or 6 months.... have the job cuz they put a new e-mail like a new aplicant and when they ask u apply before they click no never, so maybe thats!! why!
and w about ur story!!! 8)
