I like the fact that you can see an overview of each hour from individual agents. It is also helpful for agents to be able to see what others are doing in case there is a change to the schedule.

From an individual contributor perspective, it feels very overwhelming having so many time restrictions; I believe we have space for improvement where it can give individual contributors more freedom to manage their own schedules.

Breaks see, micromanaged. A time frame would be more suitable rather than one exact time, which is unrealistic in our position (open phone lines)
