- Subject: alternative work schedule status
- as you might already know we had to reschedule our second meeting that was
- scheduled for wednesday 2 / 16 to tuesday 2 / 22 in room 3013 . lunch will be
- provided . i apologize and will avoid rescheduling our meetings in the future .
- i was encouraged by the excellent dialogue and contribution at our first
- meeting and believe we have the right group together to make the changes we
- know are needed in our work hours .
- here is the list of items we agreed to cover at the next meeting :
- schedulers were going to touch base with their pipeline reps and other
- contacts on the different schedules they are using and document and discuss
- at the next meeting .
- each manager was going to discuss with their group what would work best for
- their desk and present this to the group at our next meeting
- bob was going to gather information on external 12 hour schedules and follow
- up with hr on schedules being used at enron
- the following is what i heard at the first meeting :
- our first item should be to establish a weekend and holiday schedule that
- would more or less guarantee ( other than maybe an occasional call ) you have
- the weekend off . cross - training seemed to be the key here . some desks seemed
- to doubt this could be accomplished with current staffing levels .
- cross - training is not an easy thing to accomplish and takes a " just do it "
- attitude .
- there doesn ' t have to be an across the board solution for logistics . however
- all solutions we come up with will need to be formally documented so it will
- be easy to move to other alternatives as the business needs of each desk
- changes .
- late daily hours are a reality and at some desks tied directly to traders
- willingness to do deals at any time . as we get a better handle on what other
- companies are doing we might be able to find something that will help address
- this . everyone is realistic about the exceptions such as bid - week etc . and
- really have no problems with those times when a long day is part of the job .
- there were mixed reactions to a dedicated weekend team as opposed to some
- type of rotating group . mixed feelings about whether the group would be open
- to a mandatory rotating weekend schedule .
- feel free to get back to me if you have any comments or clarification . i ' m
- looking forward to our next meeting - bob
