What the heck is going on with this company? Clearly, they have been hiring newbees who "think outside the box" -- way outside the box with zero mystery shopping experience or common sense. And it's getting on my last nerve.
I have tried to not let the new editors get to me too much although their lack of editing skills is frustrating.
Last night I received an email on a project scheduled for this weekend. I was asked to email or call with confirmation that I intended to complete it. Well, duh! But I bit my tongue and responded by email that I would be completing it on Sunday.
I just received a response that they want me call the site to verify it is open on Sunday. Now there are instances where that would be a legitimate request. But if one were to do their due diligence prior to sending out make-busy emails trying to prove their worth to their company, one would have discovered that this site is a major gas station/truck stop/restaurant sitting on Interstate 40 that doesn't even close for Christmas. Furthermore, they would see I have shopped this site at least 20 times. If they are closed it will be a sudden occurrence due to an act of nature, or a gas tank leak, or some other calamity on a moment's notice.
