Out of everything he did, this was his worst command.
He’s in TEMPORARY command of a ship while the captain is on a short term mission. He’s asking for a huge sweeping change to the ship’s roster. The amount of work it would take to adjust everyone to a new schedule, just to shift everything back when Picard gets home is pointless.
I could defend almost every other decision he made, but this one… This is why he’s in the books as the worst captain.
“Mmm let’s see, the ship is about to go into a potential crisis situation, yes this sounds like the perfect time to break up a ton of working relationships and give my whole crew jetlag”
I wanted to do more but working is getting in the fucking way

Get that fucking fish out of the Ready Room.

Funny thing is that not long after this, the bulk of the fleet changed to a 4 shift rotation.
Gamma shift would be the fourth shift though. I never heard Mariner complain about Gamma shift, ergo they don’t exist.
Dammit! Transposed my ancient Greek alphabet that I have never been able to fully memorize.
No worries, just here to inform and entertain. Whether or not anyone asked.
I learned it as far as hard drives i have in my file server, so Eta
Would it take a lot of work? Couldn’t the computer just do it?
Of course it’d be highly disruptive to the crew.
