"For staff workers."
Who are non-staff workers? That site has some very strange turn of phrases. Like: "How staff workers live, work, and communicate." Without too much explanation. Isn't this just work scheduling with a work Sharepoint portal? How does it help manage how I 'live?'
Plus then the infographic which is obviously all teenagers (?) doing the pledge of allegiance (?).
The product itself seems acceptable even if quite pricey ($4/user/month for shift scheduling gets pricey after about ten users compared to the competition). I am just pointing out how freaking strange the landing page is, blurbs, and iconography. Feels like they're recruiting for a cult.
- micaksica 10y agoIn this case "staff" appears to mean "hourly shift-based workers", eg restaurant staff. I agree it's a strange use of the term.

- stonogo 10y agoNon-staff workers are generally line workers, but given the image in which someone is being notified of their bartending shift, I'm guessing Microsoft is using 'staff worker' to mean 'not a manager.' It looks like they're aiming this at small-business managers.
- colinbartlett 10y agoCurious, what's the competition? I'd love to explore the other SaaS solutions to this problem.

- tracker1 10y agoIt isn't just shift scheduling, it's email hosting, online office and other services (the mentioned staffhub)... They're undercutting Google Docs, and offering more services. As interesting to me is email-only seems to be $2/user/month, which is really competitive to stand alone email providers.
