A few years ago a lot of companies went to a computer based system to schedule the employees. It is a sales success. It was sold under several different names to each corporation.
Well in fact it is a nightmare to the managers and employees that work under it. It does not take in consideration all the human factors. My next door neighbor is 86 years old and works part time. He calls it HAL like on 2001 A Space Odyssey. The computer that killed all the people.
My manager spends hours each week trying to make a schedule. Taking the away from the other things they should be doing. The whole thing is a wreck as it does not take in account people's skill sets, age, or physical ability to do the task. A big piece of crap.
The corporations claim they are savings millions of dollars from it. I think that the upper management got a nice kickback from the company that sells the program and that is why they are all for it. Being right there I do not see it as efficient.
I personally do not let my vacuum cleaner tell me what to do. And I sure do not like a computer telling how I am needing to work.
