RFC - Update working on tickets with reduced capacity mode

Aric Buerer requested to merge abuerer-main-patch-93577 into main

Why is this change being made?

The All FRT and Emergencies and All NRT views are now visible to all agents. With this change, we are implementing a "reduced capacity" mode where Support Engineers will work tickets out of these views when the Support Teams capacity is reduced due to Holidays, Meet-ups, Summit, etc.

I am looking for feedback on this change. I do not expect that we will need to utilize this mode for more than 5-6 days a year. This is not meant to be a mode for when 1 or 2 SGGs have limited capacity, but for when the team had limited capacity due to planned events or Holidays.

Due Date for comments: 2023-11-17
