pmsumner at 10:34am on 04/03/2005When I went back to work after my holiday to London (which I didn't write about, my bad) I found that they've changed our shifts again. Let me go back a bit to explain.
OK, in the T-Mobile Dearne Valley, TDMS teams were two. One on 8 hour shifts, the other on 10hr shifts. This gave flexibility and stability for the resource planners and a bit of choice for the people on the two teams. All good. Then when TSC took over, they decided that 8 people per team was too few, and combined us both into one team on 10hr shifts. I can see why they did that.
Now, TSC/T-Mobile resource have decided that well - having us in one team means they can't be as flexible as they need, and having 16 people logging on/off at once is screwing with their plans. So what have they done? Yes! Split us into two teams again. Not only that - but they've moved us from 10hr shifts back onto 8hr shifts.
*applauds*
Wow, I am astonished at the resource team's utter incomptence. You'd think wouldn't you, that when making changes to teams like they do, that they'd at least TRY to forecast what problems that would cause. I don't think they even bothered.
On the plus side, our new shifts are fairly cushy. Tuesday-Saturday either 1000-1830 or 0800-1630. Means evenings are all free, does mean that if I want a weekend (incl Sat) off I need to use hols on it. Wonder how long that'll last until they decide that they've done it wrong again?
