| 23.1 | **** RDC AND THE "FUTURE" !! **** | KERNEL::GARNETT |  | Mon Apr 03 1989 01:40 | 17 | 
|  |        I AGREE WITH "ALL" OF THEO'S COMMENTS (THAT MAKES A PLEASANT
    CHANGE.....DOESN'T IT !!!). OUR CURRENT 24 HOUR SHIFT PLUS FILLING
    THE GAPS DUE TO MANPOWER SHORTAGES MAKE EXCESSIVE DEMANDS ON OUR
    "FREE TIME".
       THE NEW 16 HOUR SHIFT IS ALMOST UNWORKABLE WITHOUT EVEN MORE
    DEMANDS ON OUR "FREE TIME". I BELIEVE THE 24 HOUR SHIFT HAS GOT
    TO RETURN TO A SIMILAR SHIFT TO THE OLD 45% SHIFT BUT WITH MODS
    THAT WONT HURT THE "HIGH MORTGAGE" PAYERS (LEAVE THE PREMIUM AROUND
    58%).
    
        I LIKE THE IDEA OF A FRIDAY EVENING AT THE "ROMANS..SILCHESTER",I'M
    GLAD YOU SUGGESTED IT....THEO !!!!

    Hello Nige Sir.
    
    Hows the nights going?
    I agree with Nige-because he's a T7.5,and I'm basicaly an agreeable
    kind of chap.
    Except I dont think that the 16 hour shift is unworkable,it just
    means lots-a-luverly overtime for those of us that dont like the
    wife!
    Seriously though,we have not really seen the impact of a devices
    shift on our workload yet....though I'm sure most of us expect it
    to increase,due to less systems people on evenings,and possibly
    at the weekend.
    I think that opinions and idea's on the possibilty of a new shift
    system would be very useful,the single shift idea seems very attr-
    -active.
    Also I would just like to mention that Nigel's choice of venue has
    nothing to do with the fact that he can walk home from there!

|  |     I thought it only right and proper to join the notes file, and put
    forward my constructive thoughts and/or criticisms at this point.
      What a wonderful forum this is! As an aid to ironing out the wrinkles
    of the shift system etc,I feel that we should do our best to contribute. 
      So after careful analysis of call flows I'd like to make the following
    suggestion:
    
               Why not put 4 devices people on at the weekend, at least
    they'll be able to play Bridge during the long hours.

    I heard on the radio this morning that Trevor Francis , manager
    of Queens Park Rangers FC had suggested that his players wives should
    have their babies induced so as to fit with the clubs league and
    cup schedules . He had already fined one player two weeks wages
    for attending the birth of his child instead of going to training.
    
    I wonder if such a scheme could work here :-)

|  |     FLAME ON
    
    Why do all the teams in the CSG need to do their own thing with
    shift/overtime/.....?
    
    Where is a coherent policy to cover the complete Group ?
    
    When will we do something to rationalise the mess that has been
    brewing for some time with all parts of the CSG going their own
    way, claiming their own rates and potentially not offering the service
    the customer requires/pays for ? 
    
    FLAME OFF
    
    Up in this corner, where life passes by at a more relaxed pace (cos
    we're so efficient at our jobs of course ;-)  ) we are also guilty
    of wanting to sort out our own shifts etc. However, this issue seems
    too fundamental to the operation of the CSG as a whole to not address
    the Group requirements.
    
    How can this be done?

|  |     I AGREE STEVE....YOU COULD HAVE BEEN MISLED IN TO THINKING THAT
    THE "TREND" HAD BEEN WELL ESTABLISHED BY RDC HAVING WORKED "24 HOUR"
    SHIFTS FOR SOME 10+ YEARS.
    
    I OFTEN WONDER WHY WE JUST GO ON RE-INVENTING THE WHEEL AND CONSISTENLY
    FINISHING UP WITH YET ANOTHER "SQUARE ONE" !!!
