What's New in Breakroom Chat & Scheduling

Fix schedule sorting: Revert shift ordering to time first, then role based ordering
New managers: Managers can exist with schedule permissions
Please create a leaderboard for gold stars instead of kudos. It worked in our old employee app. The kudos thing is just dull and helps no one with motivations. Also would love a way for managers to set up a calendar to be able to set up meetings. And PLEASE make it so the app sends notifications to you from other groups when in a different one. I miss too many notifications too frequently.

Response from developer
Hi, thank you for the feedback. You and your managers should actually be able to create meetings by going to the "Schedule" page in the Breakroom mobile app and clicking on the "+" icon in the top right. Also, we should be sending you notifications from other groups and there should be a banner at the top of the Chat page if you have unread messages from other groups. If you're still having issues, please email us at hello@breakroomapp.com and we'd be happy to troubleshoot the issues with you.
As for the leaderboard, that is a great idea! We do have this on our list of improvements and we will see if we can expedite this work.
