I returned from a route today around 8 PM to start entering my reports. In between, I checked my e-mails to find this one received at 4:22.
"Hello,
You are assigned 1 or more xxxxx shops that is due today.
If you have done these before and know how they work, just accept my thanks!
If this is your first xxxxxx – please remember that the shop is due today – and that means that the report must be submitted by midnight tonight. Every morning around 9am all unsubmitted shops are removed and a citation is issued automatically. If you have too many citations for xxxxx it is possible you could be removed from the program.
If you need a date change – log on to Sassie and it will allow you to change the date 1 time. If you have already done that or cannot change it there – email me and I can change the date.
We are at the end of this round, and we need to have all of these completed by Saturday at the latest, so if anything comes up or you have an issues, please do let me know.
Thank you!"
My reply:
"I did two of these today on a route and it's 4 AM. Do you really think it's advantagous to cancel my completed shops just because I didn't submit the report by midnight.
If so you have to start all over again. If it's just scare tactics, please stop."
It seems counter productive if they are up against a deadline to penalize people for completed shops just because they weren't able to complete the shops by midnight. That seems to be what all of the ten shops I'm writing up want.
