[QUOTE="greyghost88, post: 76740, member: 4715"] I have been a TSG supervisor for 13 years now and I am totally shocked at what we are doing. I supervise 14 Technicians that cover 15 centers, a gateway, and a hub, and each Technician had plenty of work to do everyday during normal operating conditions and in my area I will be forced to reduce my staff by either 1 full time or 2 part time Techs. We were told to reduce our workforce by 7 in my district. I will have 3 centers that will go live on PAS this year and even if I just lose 1 tech it will be difficult to implement and support in an efficient manner. Of course I have no idea what will happen when the next hurricane comes rolling in. I rely on the Technicians to help with securing the computers before evacuating. I do not agree with the rationale given from the corporate memo..we are becoming more automated so therefore we need to reduce our technical workforce... Who is responsible for supporting and implementing all of the automated systems? Every time we implement PAS we are adding no less than 15 computers that someone will be required to support. I think that this is a bad decision, but it just goes to show our current mindset. I have always told my techs that we are just like pilots, you don't realize how important they are until something goes wrong. Of course, when PMT hit we all new something was about to happen.
