Crazy messed up dockets and time management.
My docket is so messed up after streamline reviews slowed cases being mailed. I have an extraordinary amount of rejected cases ( 0-3 months) that will all begin to come back at the same time, exploding my amended docket. There will be very few Reg New processed with trying to keep up on the amendment explosion. I have very few amendments coming back right now, so counts are gained by processing more than average reg new further adding to the upcoming amendment explosion.
The system is down AGAIN for the 3rd time in slightly over a week. The new PAP indicia requires documentation of using SEARCH with specific searches of AI etc., yet we are expected to keep working through outages with OTHER tools (tools we've had zero training on using) OR are expected to flex around these outages with time. Kid's baseball be damned!
The insanity of these requirements has reached maximum level of shear imposssibility.
If management is going to keep going with this absolute insanity of low dockets, timeliness and higher production rates, MAYBE they should ensure that the systems they require us to use are actually usable.
Long weekend ahead..but makes sure you get your timeliness cases done before you are off for a few days. Oh wait. System is down again!, "just find a way to suck it up"!!! 😒
