Now I say, too bad so sad. The company can negotiate for a change if that's what they want.I'll also add that the batch size giveaway of 2023, which I didn't understand the hubub about at the time, it beginning to make more sense to me. I think that increased use auto-accept was/is a direct consequence of it. Way too many nuisance ARCOS callouts.
I never used auto accept when we had smaller batch sizes. I knew if a call came in I had a decent shot of actually getting it. With unlimited batch sizes I use it all the time now, that way I don’t get calls for things I’ll never even come close to getting.
