- pmiller2 7y agoI’m still a little skeptical. Given how they described the on call rotation before, it would have to be a pretty significant pay bump to get people to jump at the opportunity, IMO.
- BoorishBears 7y agoHigh turnover because your on-call system sucks causes a pretty significant bump to the cost of doing business.
- oarsinsync 7y agoYou’d be surprised how often people will jump for an extra $200/week. Especially if you’re going from one week in four (TOIL for incident time) to one week in six or seven (TOIL for incident time + $200 regardless) on the promise that things will get better. You can always un-volenteer if after a few rounds it’s clear things aren’t getting better, but the initial position is already better than the starting point.
- Scoundreller 7y agoAnecdotal, but I’m seeing a bit of the opposite. Those near retirement don’t want it and 1 person is taking a lot of it for the extra pay. I hope it doesn’t make him burnout.
