SP schedules are highly unpredictable and mutable.
This instability is one of the reasons why we should be compensated well. As I wrote in Herding Cats, "SP work is meant to be flexible, but in reality many schools maintain a pool of 'reliable' (by which they mean 'available') SPs. If you are unavailable too often it can count against you. I think this is a bit unfair for a profession that offers no benefits, security or regular work."
So articles like this one about The Gap, which is rejecting an even worse on-call approach, are of great interest to me.
