I’ll tell that to my scheduler who built it. Our numbers are exactly the same on each shift from this years rattler schedule compared to next years week of nights, week of days, week of mids schedule. So I don’t know what to tell you when you say we’re losing bodies cause the numbers match. The guy is a nerd and 100x better on excel than me so I don’t doubt him.
Again, we didn’t change a single thing other than eliminate the rotation from night to day in a single week. We won’t work the exact same shift every day but all shifts are nights or days. Nights we work 12, 14 or 15. Days 6, 7, or 9s. Our night week we start on a 15 and end on a 12. Day week, we start on a 9 and end on a 6. Same rotation as today except it’s over 2 weeks instead of 1. Every 5 weeks, it’s a week of mids.
No idea how others are doing it, but that’s what our local voted on. I get some locals don’t want it, which is fine. Do what you guys want. But complaining on here instead of finding a solution your local would go for isn’t it.
