The smoke has cleared and once again I feel lucky to still have a job.
I hope these numbers are correct.....We had 315 people and now we have 125. This lay-off was the biggest I've seen at our company. (1996 would be a close comparison, but we had way more employees at that time.)
I am one of two operators left in our department. It is going to be different on Monday. I'm curious to see how production is going to run with so few experienced operators and a handful of set ups and support.
This is the ultimate do more with less scenario!!!!
Those who are left are down to 4 days a week. Today was my first Friday off and I spent it giving the kids haircuts and baths!
It seems like the end of the world right now, but I have faith that orders will drop in and that this will be short lived.
Our company has, even in bleak times magically kept going and growing......I hope this trend continues.
