With the stagnation I am looking at being on reserve for a while and it is becoming unmanageable. There are almost no blue days, either, so I can't even move X days anymore. Does anyone have some insight on ways to mitigate the reserve abuse? I am getting pretty worn down.
This was NYC320A for the last two years or so. I was a perennial RSV bidder by choice, and it got bad enough I changed strategies to bidding a line. For some reason starting around the NOV-DEC timeframe it has changed and RSV utilization seems to have gone down. JAN-MAR has had more blue days than I've ever seen since the summer of COVID. It has coincided with the lack of backfills in the category. Not sure what changed leaving it so overstaffed.
