Needless to say, if you're constantly PMS, you get paid more. Just a shame that my hours won't be improved any, but when they're creating a whole new department, you can't really be that picky.
EPIC LOL AT JOB TITLE.

Seriously though good luck with it all and I'm sure you'd do fine..

I just thought I'd follow this up whilst I have a spare few mins.

Well, the task I was given was "we'll give you a week to get productive on the team, then you've two weeks to turn things around."

First day? Half the morning was spent waiting for people to set me up with the various things I needed. So my 10-6 shift didn't really start until 2pm. The next shift started 5pm with "[profanity] there's no jobs in the queue's, what's happened? Has everyone died?" No, you just have a new productive team member.

Second day, today. 15 jobs in the queue when I sit down, gone. Spent 45mins on the phone to an engineer sorting out a comms issue he had (the Technical Team Leader on this team didn't know how to solve the issue), and then been sorting out some Standard Fix Procedures for them.

By the end of the week, I'll know which staff are capable of pulling their weight and which aren't. Management get to decide what they do with the ones that can't pull their weight, unfortunately I know what will happen, but then in my new job as PMS I'm inevitably going to be unpopular.

By the end of next week the team should be hitting stats, and then I can start looking at improving the lives of the folks that are still here. I've already drawn up a list of problems as long as my arm, so I've plenty to go at there.

All in all, I'm pretty happy about the change of path so far. Time will tell as to what Management have in store for me next though. I'm not holding my breath.
