Now that it is submitted how did everyone handle this? I think 90% of facilities are going to fudge the numbers, stating that more positions would have been open then really would have been, in an effort to increase their staffing numbers. It is true that most people in level seven and below facilities want to transfer, but usually the ATM and Fac Reps are locals or loyalists to each other and the facility. So while in some cases you might have a Fac Rep who wants to lower the staffing number to get people out and has an ATM who won't resist, in most cases places will work to increase the number for more leave slots and easier schedules, etc.....
What will be funny is that the ATO will get these reports with everyone saying they need more people. Are they going to try to increase the total number of CPCs to 20,000 from 15,000? Or just say fuck it, this was a bad idea that gave us useless data...... and leave every staffing number as is lol? Either way, Andrew LeBovidge will be smiling somewhere.
