What knee-jerk reactions do deals bring you???

Just wondering what the rest of the workforce is seeing happen after a deal occurs. If its just one, there is usually not any noticeable difference. However, when we have a string of them, I often see things such as....

2 People per sector regardless of traffic

Stop Training

Supervisors have to wear headsets

A FLM and CIC in the area at all times

Increased Staffing, meaning no leave, but they don't being in overtime

Priority Training Only

Have a random skill check by a FLM that does not work traffic

After a couple weeks, these things go away, then they pick a new one after the next deal..... Anyone else notice stuff like this???

Really? As punishment or because you're working more?

They wanted everyone "fresh" and it looked bad when everyone was on longer breaks. It's all about appearance.

Ohhh. So they decided that shorter breaks = better relaxation. Yeah, that sounds about right.

The appearance is that it makes management look bad if there are too many people on break when an OE/OD occurs. Management feels if you have more people working with only 1 or 2 on break you can then justify the deal by other means, but if you have too many people on a break then this was the one of the causes of the deal.
