There is only one other company that I finally threw up my hands and said, "This just isn't worth the hassle" and quit. I've done hundreds, if not a thousand or more, shops for Maritz and I have decided there are too many other companies out there to do work for that don't cause me headaches.
I was totally looking forward to the new website. ................
Sorry for the long rant. It takes a lot for me to get fed up, but today they managed to do it after six years.
I hear you!
I am not a complainer and always try to work with a new system, technology, whatever. I'm not sure if the shops you refer to are those that we are asked if we wish to perform them again when allowed. I'm referring specifically to the "Blue" shops.
As I stated much earlier in this thread, I always selected the 3rd week for almost all of the shops they asked for the week in which i wanted to perform them. This was because, when I first started with Maritz, their own employee advised me to do this and then just do them earlier in the month as they did allow this. It made route planning easier and allowed for me to take into account weather delays, illness, car problems, etc.
This is how I chose when completing my November and December shops (third week) - meaning of course then next go-round would be January and February shops.
There was never an indication that Maritz was going to change the rules.
When I called and asked Maritz to move some of the shops to earlier weeks, they took them away from me as the scheduler said, "in that way it won't affect your rating".
So, in essence, I lost those shops that I had worked long and hard to get.
I now see shop that are usually taken just sitting there because, I'm assuming, the new scheduling method does not allow one to route plan when weather conditions are such.
What I just do not understand is how Maritz could do this, hurting some of their shoppers. You lose your shoppers and you'll certainly pay more in the long run!
