According to the SVPs latest newsprint it seems now that our preference bids get little or no preferential treatment!
So look forward to only getting your 1 request in the top 2 bid months and the rest of the time.......... who knows! Wave goodbye to the vaunted 10 days off - 5 requested days followed by 5 preference days - because thats becoming a rarity!!
We all know that the system has to fulfil business criteria, but are they seriously saying the present system cannot even manage to give a few preferences each month! Maybe taking out all the company restrictions, letting the system run as it was designed unshackled by stupid additions i.e. give unlimited preferences and unlimited requests (YES this is how it was designed!) would help!
And you know what really gets me - SVP says this is how it is, he has not once said that they are looking to try to improve it! A windbag, all hot air and no action!
