 		Shocked
WTF?

Okay, LAST time for this garbage (just when we thought they had it all fixed).

It says I've already applied to Elizabeth. I think the Kalamazoo RM was responding to some bug that activated old applications. I just left a message in the forum (cause I couldn't get to the RM in email) to ignore any application from me.

 		Kalamazoo again!
James, I am Embarassed to ask, but need your help again!

I just got accepted to Kalamazoo again! I tried to re-apply to Elizabeth, and it won't let me - it says that I have already applied to Elizabeth. Can you please check and see if you can re-accept me? Thanks.

 		Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand... just when I was cozily installed behind my desk in Elizabeth, I too got re-re-re-hired by Kalamazoo... I'll re-re-re-re-apply at Elizabeth, but you better give me a raise, as my market-value is soaring atm!



Rolling Eyes

ETA: Can't re-apply, because they say I already have...

 		This is ridiculous. I think I'm out! I've been hired and re-hired a bunch of different places and now I've ended up in Nampa and Kalamazoo. I think I'm done with DMI. Hope it works out for the rest of you!

 		Same as Kona - and it says I've already applied to Elizabeth.

BTW the manager in Kalamazoo responded to somebody earlier today on this topic:

Quote:
I have no control over who gets transferred and rehired, just so you guys know. The site keeps feeding the same people into the queue of pending employees, and there are HUNDREDS of them, so I can't just go in and skip one or two of you.

I'm sure once the site is fixed (if it's EVER fixed) everyone can work in the branch they want to work in, but for now hold tight!

 		Trust space to get the "special" response while the rest of us get swept up in the mass acceptance mess. Smile

 		Apparently, I'm in three different branches- Kalamazoo, Elizabeth and some place in Idaho. Confused

ATTENTION ALL DMI EMPLOYEES
To: All Dunder Mifflin Infinity Employees
From: Corporate

As many of you are aware, our program is still riddled with bugs. We'd like to send out an apology message, but our apology message generator is malfunctioning. Currently, we're working to resolve an issue involving our HR employee database that allowed some employees to be hired by multiple branches.

The quick solution to this problem is to re-apply to your desired branch if you're unhappy with your current one. HOWEVER: We are asking you to please wait for our announcement tomorrow before doing so. We are working on a permanent fix that will remove all outstanding pending applications for all employees already accepted into a branch. Once this is done, the DMI system will handle these re-applications much more effectively.

The good news is, we are rapidly increasing our technical staff at DMI Corporate to handle this huge influx of new employees and soon you'll forget all about the problems that seem to pop up on a near hourly basis.

Thanks for your patience and loyalty to our program,
The Dunder Mifflin Infinity Team

 		Well, in better (?) news (for me and me only, perhaps), the system now recognizes me as the regional manager for Elizabeth, and not simply a temp.

There were only 16 pending employees just now, so I added them all.

 		More signs of bad planning
From the logo submission voting page:

Quote:
Click on each logo. Click "PREVIEW" to see a larger version of the logo. Click "VOTE" to make this your choice. NOTE: Click the VOTE button only when you are ready to vote. You can only vote once! Multiple votes will not be discarded. Click NEXT or PREVIOUS at the bottom of the page to navigate through all your branch's submissions.


Um, multiple votes will not be discarded? What happens to the multiple votes? Are these Diebold machines we're using for the tally?

Quote:
Branch voting begins Monday, Oct. 8th at 6 PM PT/9 PM ET and ends Wed., Oct. 8 at 12 PM PT/3 PM ET. Final voting for the overall Company winner will begin Thursday, Oct. 9 at 12 PM PT/3 PM ET and end Sunday, Oct. 14 at 8:59 PM PT/11:59 PM ET. Company winner will be announced Monday, Oct. 15 at 5 PM PT/8 PM ET.


Today is the 8th. Tomorrow is the 9th. Then, according to DMI, Wednesday is the 8th and Thursday is the 9th. Then, before Sunday, we lose two days, since according to DMI, Sunday should be 12th.

This sort of incompetence is, at the very least, disheartening and, at the very most, the straw to break the camel's back.

New addition to Dunder Mifflin company policy -- We will never claim to be right at any time in any situation.

 		James, do you or anyone else have a suggestion? I am still at Kalamazoo, and it won't allow me to reapply. My Elizabeth Logo is at the Kalamazoo page, so I have no chance of getting any votes. This is getting really disgusting and discouraging.
