There's a lot of that going around.Looking myself+1 and that very performance based bullshit is the reason. Y'all made me Google this "performance based scheduling". All I've found is it applies to call centers. Something about giving the "most productive" more hours when it gets slow, or first dibs on the schedule. But if your job isn't in a call center, not sure how it applies.I do work in a call center, so that's pretty much spot on.

Besides, this site is gonna take off and I'm not gonna need a job.

There's a lot of that going around.Looking myselfPerhaps you and LTG should just say fuckit and move to an RV park in Florida. There is a precedent for such a move, you know.Don't rule it out for me! Warden is also fed up with performance based bullshit. Actually, That is exactly what got the Veterans Administration Hospitals in so much trouble. They create all these numerical goals (metrix is the common term term) that make for big bonus's up top then have everybody trying to beat the system to meet those goals while real needs and opportunities are neglected is a simple but accurate description.It adds in the ability of company protection, so it's easier to 'dispose' of protected classes. They need to prove you didn't do your job if you take legal action...best way is Metrics. I disagree completely with what they are doing, but from their perspective they don't have any other choice when every laid off employee is taking legal action.

The big Microsoft(formerly Great Plains) campus here just outsourced their payroll...COMMIES!
I wonder if there is a cigar banter site for the 1%. Wonder what they're discussing?
