The Irrelevant Shift II

This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.

Hello. Why do we have shifts? Because the people in charge (ie management) have not or are afraid to do the analysis to see what shift times are relevant, and what times are irrelevant. They assume they have to be available for the entire shift, when really they could be closed for 80% of it with no harsh results.
So will management change? Probably not. It only takes one complaint of being unavailable for a manager to have a shift fully manned.
The question is, is it worth it? Again, probably not. Restricted hours could give the customer a feeling of exclusitivity. They could feel like they are special, so they may want the restricted hours.
Check to see how much shift time is relevant.

Regards,
Irrelevant
