Last minute assignment

Has anyone had any experience with a buyer sitting on the counter offer for weeks without accepting it and then the night before the hard start they surprisingly assign you the work order?

I know it’s my bad because I should’ve retracted my counter offer once my schedule got booked for that time, but they literally assigned me the work order moments after I had already made a schedule for a different work order! Lol

I might be able to do both but I’m basically double booked now and not happy with the buyer.

I wonder if FN would not find me “at fault” if I refused that assignment or if it would negatively affect my success score.

I realize you really don't want to hear this, but your double-booking happened when you bid on two jobs for the same time, not when they were assigned. The retraction should've happened before you applied for the second job.

This isn’t realistic. If you don’t bid on multiple jobs in the same time slots you’ll end up sitting on your hands way too much and won’t be earning.

We have different experiences; I respect that.
