Volumetric exercise

Is that going to justify what I do on a daily basis?
I, we, was given an excel spreadsheet will lots of colums and drop down options
to select what I do for this whole week. I did it for today and I must say it was rather
irritating to clink to the rigid options to fit into what I do
e.g. number, nature and length of telephone calls, case discussions, report writing etc.
....and I do tasks that were outside the given options.

Why?
The re-structuring has started and the council is trying to get their heads
around on the number of social workers required for adult services.
As we are moving to the new office space around summer next year to
quite south of the borough and the ulitmate reason, cost savings to be made!
I know some boroughs have started the re-structuring sooner than us and
mistakes were made in terms of dismantling the specialist teams, like mine.
I hope lessons are learnt to keep it but we will have to see what happens after
this volumetric exercise has been analysed. I am sure the number will be reduced.
Watch the space!
