It's one thing when someone schedules you improperly, and it's a personal snafu. However, when it's a computer because the people in scheduling let it do its thing and don't check to make sure everything is set up properly, that's when I have a problem.
As I was leaving tonight, I looked up my schedule, and it was an interesting one. For next Sunday night, I am scheduled to work from 17:00 to 03:30. Then, on Monday I come back in at 06:30.
I hope they are giving me a room for that. And I hope it comes with a complementary TARDIS.
As a driver, I legally have to have eight hours off between shifts. The computer SHOULD be set up to recognize that. Then, someone should be coming in and checking to make sure things like that don't happen. Now, it's on me to make sure that gets changed.
Mind you, that's after I have already had problems with scheduling, where I checked the night before a shift, and sometime between 23:00 and the time I was supposed to report, it had changed from a 11:00 clock in to 07:00. Then, when I didn't show up at 07:00, it's one of those wonderful no-call, no-shows. And that is just the first time last week that my schedule changed on me with no warning.
So I printed out a copy of my schedule, highlighted the two days next week, wrote in "Should I call in my Signal 4 now, or wait until it happens?" across the page, and slid it under the door of the scheduling department. I'm curious to see what happens.

Re: Down with Workbrain
Welcome to my world. :D:
Just be careful.
I called scheduling to fix a shift that I got off of shift exchange. It was an 8 hour MK drive. when I checked the portal, it was on there as a 8 hour Studios drive. OK, can't do that one yet. When I speak to scheduling and tell them what happened, I got a No Problem, we will just change it to MK for you. Well, I show up tp MK at the originally scheduled time and guess what? I'm not scheduled at ALL. Our lovely coordinator at MK just slid me in and life is good. Well not quite, when I get off, I recheck the portal and my missing shift is there, for the next day and the original shift for that day is gone (they replaced my 10 hour shift with an 8 hour one :twisted: )
I have had NO BRAIN schedule me for days that I listed as unavailable, hubs that I'm not trained on, start me earlier than scheduled giving me that lovely NCNS to have labor fix and so on.
Good luck Wall, you will need it.
