April fool's xD

Productivity expectations have not changed, we're still expected to meet the same standard while working from home. However, they'll only be looking at time "worked" rather than time "paid" (So if we take a sick day we're not expected to meet productivity on that day. Like how it should have been all along but wasn't for some reason. Who knew it would take a global pandemic for them to see how fucking stupid their PTO policy was. I guess that one's a win even though I know they'll roll it back when things go back to normal. At least now I won't feel pressured to keep working and maintain productivity if I do get really sick during this). They'll be tracking us daily and expect us to meet minimum productivity standard every day. Minimum is 52% so whatever time we put in our timesheet, we need to have done productive work for 52% of that. So if you only get 3 hours of productivity one day, you can only clock in for about 6 hours that day. But then if you get 5.5 the next day you can clock in 10 hours so you're still able to stay at 40 hours. This is more or less how things were before but they're going to be more up our asses about it it seems. Usually they'd only talk to you if your productivity was low for the whole month and only start talking corrective action (not even an actual write-up) after an entire quarter of low productivity. Now, where things get really fun is apparently if you consistently don't meet minimum, they'll basically bump you down to part-time. So like if you're consistently only able to hit 15 hours productivity, guess what now you can only work 25 hours a week. I guess this also would happen under normal circumstances if someone consistently wasn't hitting their target but these aren't normal circumstances by any means. It's almost like they're ASKING us to be shady about our time. tl;dr: Athena complains about her job what else is new. Though I did make sure I hit that $600 bonus for March. Pandemic be dammed. I had an amazing first 2 weeks when we were still able to do community work I wasn't gonna let a little pandemic stop me.

u should get a job there, too xD

they can carpool

no way ur a genius

u already gave it to me first tho

ya sure i got plenty

i'll give u my cornhole virus

At CVS they had plastic crates in front of the registers to create some space between the customers and cashiers but it's like...I'm still handing them the basket that who knows how many people touched, and the stuff in it that I touched. Also it was less than 6 feet so I doubt it does much

I'll blast u with sanitizer

Psh who needs to protect those cashiers am i right xD

u get my groceries

Fair point

Seriously there's hand sanitizer right there I'd feel much better if they had no gloves and just used a bit of hand sanitizer between each task/customer

Yes but I'll pay u one whole pack of ramen noodles a day

no naps only pets

Come to our house and hang out with Gordon while u work xD

I mean you have to do that sometimes in this job, especially my program and especially at a time like this. They keep telling us to use Facetime or this other program they trained us on so we can do "virtual face-to-face" or whatever. That's all well and good for most people at the agency but I'd say like 95% of the clients I work with don't have the technology required to use those things or even if they do would need someone to hold their hand through the entire process of getting it all set up at which point why even bother. If we were totally 100% honest with our time right now on my team we'd probably all have to call all 100 clients we have on our caseload every single day to hit minimum. We're also all still doing some face-to-face stuff even though it's only supposed to be for "emergencies" that you do face-to-face but our clients have higher needs than most so some of them have no other way to get food, meds, rides to medical appointments, etc.

Bruh I can just put the phone on speaker and mute the TV and go fishing in Animal Crossing WHILE I'm working. I can even mute my laptop and put a training video on my laptop while I'm doing all that, too so I'm getting even MORE shit done. Not to mention I enter all phone calls as at least 25 minutes even if it's just "hey how are you? Good? Need anything from us right now? No? OK talk to you later bye" and enter an even longer note if we actually talk about anything even if it's only a 10 minute phone call. I'm pretty sure literally everyone does this on my team at least and most people in other programs across the agency do, too...In the past 2 weeks I have done less actual work than I ever have in this job but I'm still going to get the highest level bonus this month I am working so hard you guys, you don't even know...

It's probably just to make sure people aren't putting 9-5 on their timesheet every day then not even making an effort to call anybody and just saying "No one answered the phone not my fault lol" but you're right that would be a totally separate issue and they shouldn't be treating those people the same as someone that really is making an effort and just not hitting their target.
