So, story time.
I started a new job, standard work from home customer service. The company has agents across the country and my trainer happened to be on the west coast.
So, when they sent us our schedules for our first production week, they sent them in MILITARY TIME. That’s not even the worst part.
This morning, when I tried to log in, I was told I was early. Assuming the system was wrong, I started working for two hours before anyone in charge responded to me about the schedule confusion.
After working in nesting mode for two days with this schedule, I learned that the schedules were listed under PST. So, I was supposed to be working THREE hours later.
Spent the entire day trying to contact leadership with little response. It was nearing what I thought was my ending time. Since I hadn’t got a real response, I told them I was logging out and they could deal with the consequences of their mistake tomorrow.
Tldr: new job gave us schedules without telling us they weren’t for our timezones and that we had to add 3 hours. Thought I was 8-5 and planned my week around that. Turns out, I’m 11-8. They didn’t give me a resolution by 5, so I dipped.
