    Machine, Call, Click, etc / per tech

    What is the current rule of thumb in the industry regarding Tech work load?

    example # of machines by segment per tech, clicks per tech on and on

    I realize there are pro's and con's to every method, Im just looking for the "current industry rule of thumb?

    TIA

      From what I can tell, the Industry Standard is to pile on as much work onto a tech as you can for as long as you can until either the tech quits (enabling a rookie tech to be hired at half the current tech's salary) or dies from some stress-related heart condition (again, enabling a rookie tech to be hired at half the current tech"s salary). If you're looking for fair treatment, proper compensation for diligent work, or any indication that the people in charge value you as a human being, then you are obviously in the wrong industry.
      But I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard... to be the Shepherd.

              You sound like you work for Global/Xerox, Keep a few decent paid "Supervisors" on board and cycle through low paid lackeys faster than cheap ink through a Risograph.

                  I can imagine myself lying on the floor gasping out my last breath, and hearing: Can you do just one more call? =^..^=
                  If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                  1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                  2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                  3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                  4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                  5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                      If you're at the clients it would be "can I just make one copy"

                          You're welcome. Unfortunately, I wasn't really joking...
