In our department it was pretty much the dead wood that got hit. My shift was untouched. the department has been morbidly under-staffed and overloaded with work and resposibilities for a long while.
The dead wood at least produced some work, and now everyhing is falling on the few survivors. when we get past this little environmental issue this week and production picks up...its going to be pure exponentiated hell for the survivors to keep up.
management had not had a very good track record intelligently balancing work loads and just ridicule feedback that doesnt fit their diagrams and models. Been demanding impossible results from the most understaffed and jacked up pointless processes in the industry. All we have left are the better to good techs who have been overworked and stressed for a long while who were just recently adminstratively reclassified (demoted) to fit the new companies model. Think this will be the final straw for a number of us. no time for breaks or lunches in the coming weeks. Long and hard 12 hr shifts are about to become unworkable.
Bumped from @Pt12i9u-2ptu, so true about extra work. Not sure who Qorvo expects to do all of it, since we are already so overworked we can barely make it as it is.
