Hi C Area,
A while ago, I sent out multiple emails about using time wisely at the beginning of the mid shift. Management came out with the guidance after that requiring the C Area to be split until at least 11:30 and checking in with the OM desk before then if traffic might warrant a combination.
Lately, I am hearing that the C Area is combing up very early, that people are signing in and disappearing right away, and that some are even staying past their go home time because no one else would stay and help with the traffic volume.
Management is taking a lot of notes on this.
My suggestion to you is this: Please use the time at the beginning of the shift wisely. Work until combining it is at a safe level. Don’t ask to combine it at 10:30 when traffic numbers are high. We are going to have a hard and fast mandate come down that will result in a more permanent change than what we currently have if things don’t improve.
If you have any questions about this, please let me know. Traffic levels have picked up more than we realized and I will be addressing this when schedule negotiations begin. In the meantime, please support one another, take the help, and lets ensure that we are continuing to be safe in our operation.
Thank you for all you do,
Crumbley
