While the intentions of the switch were pure, the implementation created immense manning requirements on my organization. Due to travel schedules, my organization was going to have multiple days with employee shortages, forcing my employees to work double shifts instead of having a rest day; the same was not true for the other entity of the company.

Although I attempted to implement effective negotiation tactics, the situation resulted in my commander implementing the final decision due to the organizational structure of my company.
