Today Chris Altomari (FaST: Field and Service Transformation and DOC: Dispatch Optimization Center) conducted his quarterly “open mic” webex conference call and he confirmed that:
- there will be no limit on mvo volunteers, all will receive voluntary severance if they so choose
- backfilling will be considered for certain positions
- metering (aka staying later than off payroll days) may be an option for positions with high impact to allow for a “skills” transfer to the person who backfills the position but only applies if the person taking the mvo agrees
One last point: there was a question on the call regarding whole teams taking mvo which makes me wonder how many teams in the organization are actively planning a mass exodus and if that happens what negative impacts it will have on the business.
