[QUOTE="konsole, post: 607549, member: 23965"] I made a suggestion a while ago to somebody I work with relating to this topic. I said that we should have a couple hourly preload floaters, say 1 floater for every 2-3 belts. This floater could bounce around and help out whoever it was that needed the help the most. So this floater could spend 15 minutes helping this person cleanup and then move on to another person for 15 minutes and help them cleanup. So for every 10-15 preloaders there is one floater that can help out wherever needed. I considered that between 10-15 preloaders there is only about maybe 5 preloaders that could really use the help. I have one of the heaviest pulls in the building and this floater preload idea would mean that I could get their help atleast once a day for 15 minutes and often even twice a day for 15 minutes each. This 15 minutes early in the day and 15 minutes later in the day would make a huge difference. There would have to be some kind of guarantee though that this floater isnt suppose to fill in for someone thats out for the whole day unless it is absolutely necessary. Most PT supervisors dont want to do hourly work like someone else said. They just help out because they know the help is really needed. If I saw a pattern to how the PT sup was helping, like always just filling for a preloader that didnt show up, or always helping the same person everyday, or working just as hard as the preloaders every day, then I would say something needed to be done. If the PT sup is just lending a hand here or there because somebody is getting slammed then I don't mind it. [/QUOTE]
