Again this sh!thead offends me GRRRRRR!
A portion of the blame has to go towards SDE, an acronym for something, erm, I've forgotten. Stand Down Eventually, or Seriouly Disadvantage Employees, or something. They tore apart the stable group structure we had and have not yet completed it's replacement. Nobody has ever identified any advantage to anybody for the end result, nor any sensible way to get ther. We have far more people working weekends & night shifts than we used to or need to because the sector groupings make no sort of sense. Some of those have the joy of coming to work to do absolutely nothing, so why wouldn't they be a bit less keen to do so on their days off than they were a year ago? Those that do work can work quite hard (for the night-shift-partially-disabled brain anyhow) and get to see everybody else slumped over their consoles. Which fahkwit was it that proposed SDE again???
It also doesn't help that we used to get called for extra shifts by one of us, a controller that also happened to be a Team Leader. Now with a ludicrously and overtly hostile management, as exampled by the chief peanut's rant above, we get called by the first rank of the enemy
