I’m an employee. And a friend who also works here at a different division is now working 70 hours per week after so many of her colleagues got cut. How is this making the organization more efficient? Can ELT pls explain? Are we expecting people to work overtime without overtime pay?

DON’T work any overtime for a firm who will ISP you without a thought.
Hopefully your friend enjoys 2.5% raises and marginally better bonuses as compensation for those extra hours.
This is their decision. I used to do the same and always blamed the leadership or division but scaled back to closer to 40 hours weekly and nothing really changed except my work life balance and sanity. I still get the same performance ratings and annual increases minus a few hundred dollars occasionally. Hope your friend realizes this sooner than I did. It is not worth it, we are not saving lives here the work can wait until tomorrow.
If the work exceeds capacity, then that is a business decision and should be respected. Don't cover for organizational shortcomings.
Things don't get better until they break.
Everyone stop complaining about your 60 hr work weeks! This is how we hustle, stay humble & hungry, and have swagger! If you aren't ready to have a stroke or heart attack, then you aren't hustling enough! 60hrs a week is the new meets +, gonna need 70+ hrs from all you so we don't turn into blockbuster video!
@OP I don’t know what division you are speaking of, but I see this first hand as I work in Service Division when branch teams call in upset because documents are not being imaged/approved/restrictions removed timely. When I inquired, my friend in Ops, says she’s the only one working those particular documents.
If you and your friend are salaried,yes. 50 is the new 40.
It's illegal if there an hourly associate and not getting paid for OT. Also I believe OT isn't approved at this time.
@ac nobody remembers
Work 40 and clock out for the week. If you do work overtime then limit as much as possible. Nobody renders when you work over time except you and your loved ones.
