I don't necessarily think that they're purposely trying to undermine our role. I think they're just trying to make their own operation more efficient and profitable. If we're the ones who suffer as a result, then they just consider us collateral damage. I totally understand why they prefer text and email blasts, rather than schedulers sitting on the phones all day. It's much more efficient for them and they save on salaries and benefits. Besides, it's much harder to negotiate with a text blast than with a live scheduler, so they save money that way too. |
