The infamous Outage CRUD, aka cold, flu, stomach bug, Swine Flu, or H1N1.
I haven’t seen any statistics yet on whether the CRUD has been worse this outage season or not, but it seems worse. More people have been calling in sick then I remember from past outages. I didn’t catch it the last two or three, but I got hammered for three days with symptoms this outage. The management has been putting out H1N1 precautions about staying home if you’re sick----but of course the additional resource personnel (contractors is not PC anymore) are here for the money and most don’t get the option of a paid sick day anyway so they’re coming to work even when feeling bad enough they should call in. (I’m guilty as charged).
So the question is: How bad is the outage CRUD at your site/outage?
