Anyone hear about the upcoming 25% layoffs for RMD? It was brought up during an E88 meeting.

To @3rbq+1fCHtxgp. There is more than one way to look at that. I had seen that before, but it was because work was slow and they wanted to keep the Technicians gainfully employed with work. Otherwise, they hit overhead and get looked at for dismissal at the next layoff.
In short Bouncing people around is a way of retaining experienced technicians. I don't claim to understand your full situation, but that has been my experience when working with Techs on the floor.
It would be hilarious if the Company goes into bankruptcy because of the money and personnel losses they've incurred due to the merger and bad decisions in transition.
I smile inside just imagining it.
We have equipment monitoring software at the plant in Dallas as well. Machine utilization monitoring. It’s stupid because since our workload has dropped, they have us switching over to different jobs constantly which, takes time and makes the utilization numbers look like sh-t.
25% now that is a painful thought company wide or a particular plant??? the Tucson plant has undergone so many changes from sensors in hall ways to computer tracking of progress made per employee, an example, tracking how long an employee stays on a piece of equipment versus the positive output scary times
That’s a high number. I would think so much work is coming due to the war and supplies sent to Ukraine. I haven’t heard anything but you never know.
Wouldn’t surprise me. I work on the floor (worker). The amount of work has slowed down significantly. When you ask what’s going on we all are always told that nothings changed. But you can see it with your own eyes, work is slow, product isn’t being pushed out the door as fast. My point is, none of us have heard that there will be layoffs, but we are expecting it just from the lack of work coming in.
Maybe. What's it to you?!!
