they switched schedules to have straight time on saturday and sunday so he has scheduled day off monday and tuesday and works w/t/f/s/s/m/t oncall and working straight time during the day. he has to answer dispatches calls at all hours (he got in trouble once because he was sleeping and didn't hear the phone). he took this week off even though they could not really afford to be without him because there are only three guys in his area and one was off monday and tueday on sceduled day off before being oncall. last week he had to go work overtime on a couple of calls even though they keep saying they don't want overtime. they expect these three guys to be able to do the work of five, keep up with their stock that needs to be returned, do all this other stuff. and it is not possible with three guys. they will not hire anyone else for the area even though a guy just left for a job somewhere else.
