Disney is probably never going to recover that staff so they will just use the reservation system to shift employees where needed.
The “shifting employees where needed” thing that’s been discussed on these forms at nauseam doesn’t really happen. Attractions can only be staffed by those trained for that specific attraction(s). F&B/Merch cast can pretty much go anywhere, however most locations are so short staffed that they are not being sent elsewhere. This happens every now and then where they deploy cast elsewhere temporarily, for example they occasionally deploy Merch cast from smaller locations to Emporium on peak days.
The basis of my point is that it seems Disney is using the system to manage labor costs, not move cast around.
