Company Policy; Staffing
The staffing numbers were supposed to be three people staffing until midnight. We only had two people until midnight making staffing a very unsafe situation. I am not sure how only two people got scheduled to work till midnight; but management knew of this at least the day of and did nothing to get another body in to help if needed (hold people over; call people in early). Running with only two people on a shift while two sectors need to be open are unsafe and should not happen. We were one body under for the day; and shift notes were requesting one 4-12 overtime to get called in and it did not happen. Worse case; solicits to have someone stay late or come in early one way or another. Especially when you are aware of the issue and do nothing to fix it.
ZOB ARTCC Controller reported that management allowed under staffing against facility operations requirements; consequently compromising safety.
