[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 2334921, member: 23516"] We've begged managers to schedule swings based on rotating seniority if they want some stability at the position. Scheduling them based on need or fit has ended up with the same people covering the same routes all the time and none of them learning a greater number of routes. Strict seniority has presented the problem of those on the bottom getting all kinds of crap work and quitting. Another issue is the 1 swing gets his, and the 2 gets screwed because 3, 4, and 5 aren't proficient enough on the routes they'd fall into. They get assigned to whatever they fit best and 2 gets what is left. Then 2 gets tired of it and leaves, making the situation worse. Plus, the 1 swing tends to be or become a diva. Rotating seniority (12345 one week, 23451 the next, 34512 the next, etc.) has worked wonders. Everyone gets a turn. I wish the company would insist on using this method unless there are serious circumstances which prevent it. Yep. GPS should be a supplement to a map, not a replacement. [/QUOTE]
