Christmas tradie woes
Oh, the silly season is upon us and plans are going out the window. I have scheduled(months ago) work to be done before the break, and have made myself available on all the non-stat days to accommodate.
All of a sudden these guys are not available tomorrow but want to work late on Friday and into the new year stats. I've already told my team they can finish at 11 on Friday, I don't want them hanging around waiting for these guys.(Security reasons)
The problem is if this work isn't done, it disrupts the next lot of work...... like having the painters ready to go, but the Gib guy hasn't finished....and if allowed to continue, will result in a bottleneck with days left to reopen
I think some of them see "reopen is 7 weeks away, plenty of time". I'm going to move this up a pay band, and they can sort it out...I'm over it.
