Reply to Guess it’s not Always Sunny in Philly because Game 3 of the World Series will be Tuesday night due to rain by joeltheprocess76
After the screw job we narrowly avoided when the umps kept everyone on the fields during the Padres series, I guess I'm fine with this, though it would be nice if the top of Houston's rotation didn't have an extra day rest.

The more realistic scenario is that they are feeling the affects of 'schedule optimization' where one person is being staffed in place of two because the algorithm says that is all you need. That single person is then being given completely disparate requirements such as 'stock this section in the next X minutes' while also 'greet every customer within fifteen seconds of them walking in the door' 'along with 'ensure that all drink orders are fulfilled within 3 minutes' and also 'ensure all packages are picked within 90 seconds of scanning the ticket'.
I've manged retail before, it isn't some secret that there are large stretches of time where the staffing levels 'make sense' if you only look at the computer but also objectively suck for the person tasked with working that time when it happens to be even slightly busier than projected.
This is the exact sort of thing that affects workers from minimum wage all the way up to six figure software developers. Kudos to them for standing up and seeking the only path that will empower them to do so without fear of retribution.

"it has always sucked, so don't try and change anything." is a pretty sad way to go through life mate.

The bridge would probably have double the throughput if people just kept their heads out of their asses and eyes off their phones when stopped at red lights.

Not saying the person above you is right or wrong, but realize that rotisserie chicken to a Peruvian is like cheese steaks to a Philadelphian. They have opinions,and when you hear someone say they found a good one away from home, you listen.
