Funny how ServiceAward assumed it was a female and ebit assumed it was Nikki.

Doesn't she now only work for 1 company? I thought I read that she quit a company end of the year? I just started as a shopper late last year and I haven't had any bad interactions with any scheduler (yet). I used to be a merchandiser back in the day and we kept to ourselves so shopping is new to me but all schedulers have been nice thus far. Maybe it's because I do my work!

Who do we contact to complain about an incredibly rude scheduler? She works for several companies. It’s ridiculous.

Ahem.
Maybe this was how business was done 40-50 years ago, but this is 2024 and the old “lord and serf” mentality is rapidly going extinct. This is thanks to the actions of courageous workers who pushed back against poor treatment and denigration handed out back in the Bad Old Days.
Sticking our heads in the sand by “ignoring it and moving on” will only perpetuate the unprofessional behavior from the individual involved.
Let’s be honest and let the MSC owners know how poorly they are being represented by this particular scheduler. She’s been fired from multiple positions with multiple MSCs, give her current employer some evidence to back up the complaints he’s undoubtedly heard.
Again, as has been stated over and over again on this forum, this is an Independent Contractor business. We are not employees. We are not going to be treated as employees. Also, the OP did not state what this "incredibly rude" scheduler did. I challenge the OP to come back and tell us what the scheduler did. Was the scheduler actually rude or is this the OP's perception? I presume the OP has only dealt with the "incredibly rude" scheduler through e-mail. Unless something has changed, I think most people, if they are honest, still lack the superpower to detect tone in an e-mail. The "incredibly rude" scheduler may have been direct, but being direct does not equate with being rude. Now, if the "incredibly rude" scheduler called the OP a dumb sack of bricks not worthy of taking another breath, then that would be rude. I suspect the "incredibly rude" scheduler did not do that.

Just stating the obvious, sir/ma’am.
1. The OP’s original question concerns to whom a complaint about a scheduler should be addressed.
Nothing else, nothing more.
You demonstrate a stunning lack of reading comprehension.
2. You write voluminous TLDR posts with multiple spelling and grammar errors that are off-topic and tedious.
3. It’s only natural to be curious about the quality of your reporting, given your exemplars here.
4. Perhaps if you demonstrate more empathy, you will be given some.

You’ve been told over in over that the IC status is about to change but you continue to spread misinformation. You claim you’ve known about the change all along but I see no proof of that since you continue to come down on people about it. There are a lot of people on this board who’s principle source of income is MS. When they ask for feedback about their rights or recourse, your pat answer comes across as useless and unhelpful. If you’re still set on brown nosing, why not try a different tact.

I don't see any IC status changing for mystery shoppers in my state. Can you direct me to credible information with a planned date that it will be doing just that?
There is no credible information. The Dept of Labor made a rule change. They will be sued into infinity and before it ever comes close to being implemented this bunch will be gone and the next administration will reverse it.

Viv ~ You’ll have to go back about 4 pages of threads to this post ‘Ipsos Mystery Shop Class Action Lawsuit.’ When OPs dismissed my original post I backed it up with proof on the second page. It’s more than what you’ll get from OPs like Panama18 who cannot back up a word they say with any proof. Or people who think that the MSC’s will be labeling them as ‘Employees’. Lol. That’ll be the day.
Trump stripped you of your rights temporarily but even if he should win again (while in the joint) the chances of him attempting it again are minuscule. Tons of labor leaders, lawyers and legit corporations will be ready to pounce.
Do yourself a favor if you continue to work for Ipsos - clock your time, take screen shots of every page of the agreement, make sure you submit all pictures requested, and if it gets rejected, offer to fix it. If they don’t let you, you have the option of reporting them to your state’s labor board. They can tell you what your rights are if you were used, cheated and employed to do work that paid below minimum wage.
