By doing this the contractor will be able to use less power because those departments that are off will not need to use lights, laptops, or the Heating and Air Conditioning system as much during the days off.
Have you ever felt like you were trapped in the middle of a situation with no way out? That feeling of being pulled in various instruction by people with no way to make everyone come away with a victory of some sorts. This is my new situation. The people involved in my situation are the corporate big wigs at our contractor and the rest of the employees. I labor in human resources and part of my job is handling the negotiations between the two levels. Trying to make sure that decisions that upper management make labor with the people that they will be affecting without infuriatedting the balance of the business. The last meeting I attended brought about some changes that are going to be strenuous to sugar coat for the rest of the staff, due to budget constraints they have decided to change the labor week schedule to include longer hours. Now this means that people will be put on a four afternoon rotating schedule and be required to labor ten hour days. Their days off will fluctuate and several will not be cheerful with that. By doing this the contractor will be able to use less power because those departments that are off will not need to use lights, laptops, or the Heating and Air Conditioning system as much during the days off. Having full departments and the space they use shut down for three full days will actually save on monthly bills. Convincing everyone that this is good for them too will be the strenuous sell. When the contractor is used to the whole 9 to 5, Sunday through Sunday, they are used to making personal plans around that schedule too. I think I will have to be genuinely creative in my presentation to sell this one.
