As an ETL-HR I hate writing the schedule and wish TL could write there schedules... Hr Tms are not suppose to be involved either... Did I mention I hate writing the schedule.... LOL
.As someone who has been around from TM to ETL, I can say that this is going to be my biggest concern in general over the next 1-2 years. I would go out on a limb and say most ETLs are not in LOG or HR for a reason... and its because they cannot handle those particular workloads. Most dayside ETLs stroll in at 6 or 7 and spend (sometimes) upwards of 1-2 hours looking at "numbers" because that is what they think an LOD is! They operate at their own pace, come out to the floor (many times holding a damn coffee), and get with the ETL-LOG who just shouldered 70% of the work for the store that morning. The (good) ETL-HRs in the company are owning a majority of the schedule writing, payroll allocation, and staffing assessments for their buildings too.
The point is this... we are going to see a huge spike in ETL turnover. The ETL-LOG is going away, and the other ETLs will no longer have a safety net of some expert ETL guarding them from the constant freight flow. You just go slammed on SL repacks? Sorry ETL-Style, you are working freight all day with your team. We just added a truck for 2 days from now... all dayside ETLs what are your plans since that was originally a non-truck day? You need to come in and get with your team right away and lead them, we can't have you sitting in TSC looking at myperformance right now!
