A Simple Survey

Imma ask a few questions, and I want you folks to keep in mind your answers.

Assume you're in charge of a business. You know when the busiest day of the week falls, but your staff is spread thinly enough that you won't have a full staff for all shifts. Do you:

1. Schedule more people for the busy day and keep the store shortstaffed on a typically slow period,
   
2. Schedule as evenly as possible and use the slow periods to prepare for the busy shifts, or
   
3. Schedule only your newest employees for the busiest shift since they "need the experience", and put the least productive team leader on the shift for similar reasons?

One of your employees calls off from work due to sickness. Do you:

1. Call around, see if any other employees can cover the shift,
   
2. Take up some of the responsibility yourself and delegate the rest - part of being a team means working together, or
   
3. Do neither of these and make sure you're busy throughout the day doing things such as inventory and dropping off deposits so that you can't be bothered but are still technically "working"?

Finally, the Super Bowl has come to town. Literally, the biggest football game of the year is going to be taking place IN YOUR CITY. Do you:

1. Schedule more staff for that week - after all, you'll be getting a lot more business and will need the extra help,
   
2. Make sure your absolute best staff is scheduled for the day before and the day of the game so that the customers are as satisfied as possible when they visit, or
   
3. Take last week's schedule, ctrl-c, ctrl-v. Print. Job done! :D

If you answered 3 to all of these, CONGRATULATIONS! You're my boss, a terrible person, and need to go get a lobotomy as it can only IMPROVE your intelligence.

And people wonder why I fucking hate my job.
