Even judged purely based on getting the best work-results out of your subordinates during their working hours, this sounds crazy. What was the stated justification?
- grayfaced 5y agoMost military watchfloors end up on stupid schedules like this. They aren't looking for work-results, they're looking to maximize accountability and minimize drama. The teams are fixed so they can align to command structure, so it will basically always be 4 shifts evenly divided. Because there is no night or weekend incentives, they want to rotate the night/weekends across all 4 teams. I used to do panama shifts, swapping between days/nights every 2 weeks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_plan#Panama_Schedule https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_plan#Panama_Schedule
- jessriedel 5y agoThanks! Useful. Is there any reason they don't rotate, say, once every 3 months rather than once every 2 weeks?
- spaetzleesser 5y agoSounds a little like the “tough it out” attitude doctors have with their 24 hour shifts during training . I don’t think this can be justified rationally.
- bombcar 5y agoSuch a schedule makes a lot more sense when you’re on the submarine deep underwater, especially if you’re trying to train for combat situations (where you may not be able to do a shift change). Perhaps they were matching that?
