So work did their annual shift bid and there's been a change. They reduced the number of evening shifts that received the 10% shift differential and reduced the size of teams who could have them. I was in the 8th decisial (pretty high up) but still only ended up with my second choice shift pick of 12pm to 8:30 losing my shift diff. 3800$ a yeah over 30 minutes a day(if my shift started 30 minutes later or if they had left the 1 hour lunches alone I wold be keeping it) So far none of the people who are on the ONE evening team of bankers for the department I'm in have kept be left with a shift diff schedule, and for a different department people just out of training who had never worked a day on the phones were ranked higher than people who had been on the phones for years. I am raging so hard right now.

Some high muckity muck who makes at least 10 times more than I do decided Chase was spending too much on payroll for the little peons, but call volume and business showed they couldn't get rid of a call center or fire a bunch of people(hell we just opened a new center in Illinois, and are having trouble just getting people through training(think half the new hires quit in terror)) So he decided to just reduce the people on shift diff. Then they are either incompetent on how to rank people or deliberately game it so newer and therefor lower-paid people are given a better chance of the getting the shift diff bonus. All to save a few million in payroll, which will look good for the high muckity muck and undoubtedly earn him a nice bonus at the end of the year. All I know, when Chase sends out the report on the second quarter earnings and profit, I'm just going to be thinking how some of that money came out of my pocket.
