[QUOTE="Suz, post: 367275, member: 29"] Trinity, yes and no. The BC made this decision based on a couple of things... (1) the number of phone calls our department averages every day. Most occur later in the afternoon as opposed to early morning. The fallacy to this is that most of those calls were families checking in....kids home from school who call Mom, spouses checking in, figuring out schedules for afternoon activities. We work with physicians..........physicians RARELY call us- most of our communication is via email. The second contributor to the decision was that it was perceived like you said....that the early birds were meeting at the coffee pot and not going straight to work. I brought it up again this morning at a meeting with our Department Head. I told her that agreeing to move people to later hours because they can't arrive at the regular time is rewarding them for tardiness.....and why aren't the early birds getting rewarded for doing things right? I stumped her with that one :D and she agreed to bring it up to the BC again. I don't think it will change but I know it won't change if no one asks. We'll see. Suz [/QUOTE]
