(2,299 posts)I understand what you wrote, and I disagree with it.
You suggested to Hire a whole 2nd crew for just 1 day a week?
I said
no - you hire enough resources to cover 1 extra day a week that allows all shifts to operate 4 days
There is a HUGE difference between...
A) Hiring a whole crew for just 1 day a week
Vs.
B) Hiring just enough resources to cover one extra day a week
Again, this is simple math and shift design - that's all.
We all need to forget the 5 days in a 7 day week working paradigm - it's a 4 day work schedule across 7 days. Forget the weekends. Weekends are a synthetic construct.
If we move to a 4 day working within a 7 day elapsed timespan, then business can operate 7 days a week. its better for everyone.
You want to go to church? Pick a day and make the church accommodate it. Are they going to close their doors to you if you really want to go on a Wednesday?
