I'm curious about the repetitive computer tasks people deal with in their day-to-day work.

Are there any tasks that you find particularly tedious or time-consuming that you haven't been able to automate?

For example:

• Moving information between email, Excel/Google Sheets, and other programs
• Entering the same information into multiple systems
• Copying information from PDFs or documents into spreadsheets
• Cleaning or reformatting spreadsheets
• Creating recurring reports
• Renaming/moving large numbers of files
• Sending repetitive emails or follow-ups

If you use tools like Zapier, Make, Power Automate, Automator, etc., are there still tasks you have to do manually?

If you're regularly moving information between multiple programs, what programs or systems are you moving it between?

I'm especially interested in the small repetitive tasks that don't seem like a big deal individually but add up to a lot of time over the course of a week.

I'm thinking of trying to get a remote job and I'm leaning towards administrative/data entry work. I've heard that these types of jobs involve a lot of repetitive computer tasks.

What repetitive computer tasks take up the most of your time? Do you have any tips for reducing the time spent doing these tasks? Any tools you use to speed up the process?

I'm a CCA at a well staffed office. Our Regulars are expected to be off by 5pm unless they're given Overtime for a pivot. If the Regulars think they won't make it back and off by 5pm, they are supposed to let the closing Supervisor know by 2pm if they'll need help.

I finished my route today at 5pm and I had to get gas. I came back to the office around 5:20pm and I was putting away my mail. The closing Supervisor approached me and asked me if I was approved for Overtime today and I said I wasn't. I told him that around the 2pm mark, I was a little more than halfway done (my Traversal in the Scanner was at 51%) so that's why I didn't ask for help. But I ended up taking a little longer than expected and had to get gas afterwards.

He said that I need to make sure I let him know if I won't make it back and off by 5pm.

There were other CCAs in the office at that time who arrived back at the office AFTER me and they also weren't approved for Overtime, but he didn't say anything to them and they also didn't let him know they were going to be back after 5pm. I'm confused. I don't know if he's picking on me (pretty sure he doesn't like me from past experiences) or if he thinks I'm a Regular.

Out of the 3 closing Supervisors we have, he's the only one who talks to me about this. The other 2 Supervisors only care if you're going to be very late. If I call any of the other two Supervisors if I'm not going to make it back by 5pm, they're confused as to why I'm even calling them.

My question is: Is this a normal requirement for CCAs?

My supervisor yelled at me in the office in front of other employees and was being verbally hostile towards me. No threats of violence but the supervisor was being very emotional and unprofessional towards me with what they said and with their tone. That experience was distressing for me and I can’t stop thinking about it.

I’m a CCA (past probation) and I’m wondering if filing a grievance would in some way hurt me in the future.

I’ve heard that if I become a regular carrier before my first year of working as a CCA that I would have to pass another probationary period and I’m concerned that if I file a grievance they could try to fire me in retaliation during a potential second probationary period.
