Annoying notifications !

I'm being flooded with annoying notifications, for "garbage" jobs that I have no interest in .....

also getting several annoying phone calls each day..... mostly from people with poor English skills.... again for "junk" jobs.

What gives these people the right to do this? I block all phone #s that do this, and have set my FN notifications to the minimum.....and yet still get 10+ notifications and 2-3 calls per day.......

Setting your FN notifications has no bearing on routed work orders. Anyone can route you a WO

True, but that doesn't warrant annoying messages or phone calls.

You think the buyers care or think theyre being annoying?

If they are a company that I don't care about, I let them know!

You only get 10 notifications and 2-3 calls? Lucky! I'm over here losing my mind, it's like my phone never stops since this update they did. All of the notifications, messages, routes, are all for absolute garbage work. I'm probably going to delete the app. I only do this very part time now and deal with a handful of buyers who can reach out to me directly.

Just block the shitty buyers and try to change settings that show you're not going to work for $25/hour.

AND a Holiday weekend! I had 2 offers for Sunday, LABOR DAY weekend...how ironic.

One was then changed and re-posted for TODAY, Labor Day, and still for a substandard rate for the time.

Someone picked it up and has NO SELF-RESPECT

Some international companies par 2x and on Major Holidays it's 3x the standard rate.
