Annoyed with requests to apply for shops when I am never going to be assigned

November 15, 2025 05:32PM
I keep receiving invitations to apply for account opening shops and other shops with a particular company. This has been ongoing for the past 5 months. In each case, I apply and my application is promptly deleted no explanation. I am to the point of replying and asking the sender to stop emailing me as it is obvious that they have no intention of assigning me anything. I believe the issue relates to my refusing some phone shops which had a really ridiculous scenario. I sent an email to the person handling the phone shops expressing my thoughts after I did one. I had some good suggestions and apparently they did not like my suggestions. I was asked to do more shops and I declined. So, now I am precluded from any shops. Do you think I should write this scheduler who sends me requests every month only to delete any applications I make or simply do nothing and delete her emails when they arrive? I find the situation quite sad as I have done nearly 1000 shops for this company over the past nearly 20 years. . .

The emails are probably auto-generated. I would say delete them and move on, unless you want to be taken entirely off of the email list.

Why not just email the scheduler and ask her to be assigned. See how that plays out.

This is what I would do.

Heck, contact the scheduler directly and say that you seen to be excluded from working with this client. Ask if this is the case, open the door for a conversation. If she denies it or affirms but offers no opportunity for resolution, set up a filter in your email to send everything for that specific shop to the trash.

If you don't know how to set up filters for sorting incoming mail, it's worth learning and far preferable to burning a bridge that might be useful at some point.

Just wrote and asked to be assigned. I indicated that I have applied many times never heard anything back and if for some reason I am not going to be offered jobs to please stop emailing me. I will see what happens.

These schedulers never answer when you need this type of help. Numerous emails I've sent with no reply. So dumb
