Withthese challengesmet,Iwasable torotate specificresponsibilitiesweeklywithinthe team
to assistinavoidingburnoutissuesdue tolow headcount.
Withlessheadcount,movedaway fromhavingregularlyscheduledrep'sonweekendstohaving

wouldcall insickor go on vacation,itwas hard to findvolunteersbecause these weekendshifts
involvedmore responsibilitiesthanweekdayshiftsdid. Thismove alsoallowedustohire better
