The implementation of Text Magic has brought concerns for many of the employees within our region that it does not give consistent opportunity for shifts and/or it is inconsistently delivered media (ie: text message) as many of the areas in our region have poor text message reception. We propose that other solutions be implemented to ensure consistency and increased morale in the region.
Please include in the comment section your concern with text magic and potential solution to your current frustrations.

I have been reading every single story about missed shifts and technical failures you keep posting here. These accounts prove that we deserve a reliable system instead of this constant uncertainty.

Seeing so many of you post about the missed notifications and dropped shifts confirms that our frustrations with Text Magic are being felt across the entire region. This momentum proves that we deserve a reliable system that actually works for us instead of against us.

I always receive the text messages 10-12 min after they sent them. If this can't be corrected I suggest they make a list and award them equally then, like where you left off today you continue tomorrow. This way clearly is not fair. Yes I am a casual
I believe that text magic causes frustration between employees as it becomes a race to get overtime. By going back to a phone call process people have more consistent opportunity to receive shifts as well as arrange for child care if necessary to work additional shifts.
1 Not receiving a texts at times for a shift 2 Medics receiving texts at different times when they are suppose to be received at the same time. This is not being offered fair and equitably 3 First medic to get their call in is awarded the shift! How is this fair and equitable for all? First of all its not working and is affecting medics livelyhoods, which should not be taken lightly! This is just adding to poor morale throughout! How is this being allowed to continue on in a unionized environment? If there is a way to guarantee that all are receiving a text or call for all shifts and we were to continue on with text magic, then in light of all of the inconsistancies with calls being received, there should be a time frame of 60-90 mins alotted for scheduling to receive all of the calls from the medics interested in a shift. Then after that alotted time, scheduling should be awarding the shifts to the interested medics in order of who on the list is next to be awarded a shift.
All in all, text magic is not at all fair and equitable for awarding both regular time and overtime shifts.
Please stop texting on our days we work or when on holidays
Frustrated about: 1. Receiving texts on all my days of work and being missed when I am actually available to pick up overtime 2. The lack of response by supervisor when asked about missed texts 3. The fact that despite doing everything perfectly (responding to texts within seconds of receiving them) and still never getting awarded any overtime. 4. ALLLLLL the inconsistencies.
Ridiculous system for awarding shifts.

1) Not receiving texts 2) Everyone getting texts at different times 3) Getting a shift is now a 3 step process 4) People being told to call in by 3pm if you're afraid of being missed. 5) For OT shifts Scheduling should have to wait an allotted amount of time for people to call in and then return calls in order like they used to. Not first come first serve especially since texts are received at different times.
