[QUOTE="..., post: 4365280, member: 79151"] Why would he bust his ass? He's paid by the hour. There's absolutely no sense in trying to work harder or faster because you're understaffed. Work the same way you always do, and watch it implode if it comes to that. If it happens enough, they'll hire people. I had a PT supervisor who was hung out to dry a few years ago. He always complained about staffing, but then subsequently yelled at us for not being done by an arbitrary time determined by the division manager. On two separate occasions I confronted him on this. One time, I said if the job keeps getting done, they'll never give us more people. The second time, when he said it "MUST be finished by 1am, or else!" I said "or else what? They'll hire more people?" His reaction could be described as a combination of anger and agreement. He was upset he was going to get chewed out if we didn't finish on time, but he knew I was right. Let them make that decision, and soak up the extra hours while you can. Like I said. If they don't wrap up on time often enough, they'll get new people in. That sounds typical. I'm surprised they even give you 7 people. [/QUOTE]
