There aren't near as many GS opportunities on the WB side, because the 737MAX didn't change the summer staffing requirements as drastically.
If the suitcases full of money are too heavy, submit an FCR to have payroll use $100s instead of $20s.

There are some serious unintended consequences to being understaffed that affect 14,000+ of us. Not just those of us who need to credit 120 hours a month.
