Oh do I have a Stupid Cast Scheduling Trick.
I recently was cross-trained to Cashier. However, for whatever reason, the past few schedules have only had me at Host.
Get this. I just found out, that, despite all the e-paperwork I filled out, Scheduling
FORGOT to put me into the system as knowing Cash, meaning that they would not schedule me Cash shifts.
And this is after it took them nearly 8 months to approve my Cross Training, and after I had to have two managers contact them.
God, sometimes I can't help but think Scheduling doesn't believe I exist
.

And another SCST. We've recently implemented our new Online Scheduling Request system. It
is WDW's Labor Service Center with a different name and logo - they've imported the system completely, cutting off some features which they want to introduce later or which don't apply to DLR CMs.
However, it's fairly clear that there are some areas which, despite all the time they spent adapting the system to the DLR, they've overlooked.
Namely, references advising CMs to contact Labor Recording - a department which does not exist here on the West Coast; and in one instance, which, to their credit, has been corrected already, giving out WDW Labor's telephone number.
You've just got to wonder how our scheduling system doesn't fly apart at the seams, lol.
