This is what happens when you try too hard to minimise costs, because extra signal staff aren't need 99% of the time, they don't have any to save costs, but the 1% where they are needed everything fucked up

Imagine being his or her manager that doesn't have a contingency or cross trained staff.

Oh yeah no exactly haha I’d hate to hear me calling in sick impacted everyone in Sydney because my manager and team couldn’t pick up the slack while I was out

I would be asking for a hefty pay rise tomorrow.
