Sep. 1st, 2006 08:42 amAnd an interesting day at work.
Started rather boring. Then after the break, a meeting happened.
Apparently, lots of people have been changing position and got moved around the company. As a result of this, we got a new boss in charge of the night team. This new boss, to everyone's surprise, offered a lot of things that the supervisor / whatever else his job is / George wanted. One of those is to possibly switch us to 10h per day shifts, and a 4 day week. Which would mean starting at 9pm instead of 11pm, but get an extra complete day off.
And in addition of that, they thought about moving about 80-120 hours per week from dayshift to nightshift, and give us some tasks that would normally be dayshift ones. Such as product placement, unloading the actual vans, and doing reception work (scanning things, checking if they were delivered right...).
So the interesting part for me there would be that with 40h work weeks, the extra hours would mean 2-3 persons being moved from dayshift to night shift, or more likely, 2-3 new persons being hired. One of them which could be me.
And in addition, seasonal is supposed to gain more house appliances and extras. Normally we wouldn't have those kinds of products, but since we are a part of a mall, we have apparently many customers who are just random people wandering in, and they ask for them. So we might turn into more than just a hardware store. Which could be good.
The syndicate and big boss and some other still need to give the final approval on those things, but well, it seems that it could get a lot more interesting.
Oh, and the meeting lasted about 1h long too, so that was one hour of non-working that was all paid. Whee!
I also apparently impressed certain people by clearing up 6 pallets of insulation stuff yesterday, and 4 double pallets today.
