Slowly Slowly

Catchy Monkey... so I threw a polite tantrum a few weeks back about stupid it was, constantly finding there was no cover for tomorrow, and then spending an hour on the phone grovelling. These shifts had sat open for weeks and nobody had volunteered, and we were always playing catch-up at short notice.

So I now sadistically allocate people into the overtime slots. For most people this means they work 15 hours that week instead of 10. 15 hours! Slavery.

Result: they figured out that if they volunteer for one shift a week they get left alone from any more and they get a choice on when they work. Most recent overtime sheet is already full of volunteers, more than three weeks ahead. Score.

Today: whole day spent at sister store. Knackered. And it wasn't even an overtime shift, it was a "sorry they need you so off you go" shift 😭
