UC phone interviews happening outside of established times

Hi,

After recently moving from IR ESA with WRAG, to UC, had a phone interview happening 15 minutes before the time that was established in my Journal, i.e. 2.15 pm instead of 2.30 pm. Is that kind of thing very common with UC? I am quite the person who observes rules and I don't like people who don't....to my mind that's a kind of unnecessary sloppiness and mindlessness. Now I am not saying I am - obsessed - with rules or that I 'live by the book', I don't, but an appointment is an appointment....if enough precision is expected of me, fair enough, rules are in place for good reasons, at least in democratic countries. But I expect basic precision too.

Further, I am not a telephone person at all, and I keep it off most of the time. Fortunately I had it on well before the appointment, otherwise I'd have missed it and get a sanction, and good luck getting into a whole new circle of unnecessary mandatory reconsiderations, etc....

Should I make a complaint? I am prepared to do it, lest the randomness becomes a habit, it's unsettling as you might be busy with something else and all of a sudden, hey it's your work coach, just a bit earlier today. Quickly run to the phone!

Or perhaps I am being too strict. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi Invisible

That's a decision you will have to make for yourself.

Sure, I wasn't expecting others to make decisions for me, I was just asking what are other people's thoughts and figure out if this kind of thing is common.

Hi Invisible

It is a hard one to call as some assessments over run and the assessors are trying to catch up and members feel as though they were rushed.

It is quite common to expect a call with 15 minutes of the allocated time.
