you aren't far off. they're saying(theorizing) that because humans run away, it triggers the coyotes.

For months, my company I work for been pushing everyone's ass to complete the work faster. Yet they slash people aka layoff (so how do you do the work faster by cutting down the resources to do the tasks.......???!!!). Is it suppose to instill fear to others so that they work "faster" and do more work; otherwise their jobs may be in jeopardy?

What probably happened was that management knew that layoffs were coming so they tried to maximize their production by pushing everyone to get things done faster (while they still had the workforce).

By doing this, you get a short sprint of high production in an effort to keep things on track or advance deadlines.

This is a huge red flag that your work is either in the process of being sold, or just outright closing.

They're maximizing efficiency while reducing costs, and are likely sinking fast.

Absolutely accurate.

It could also be a restructuring but companies that do this do not care for their staff. A huge red flag in and of itself regardless of the outcome.

Actually the company is making money (as Covid restrictions lifting and business moving back to the norm). Obviously if we compare to pre-Covid then the result comparisons looks ugly (I'm sure a lot of companies are on the same boat; except for those that thrived with Covid).

There is definitely some people movement; although the actions do not align with what they want to achieve. It's like saying you have a staff of 10 people to do the work and they want it to be done faster, but how do you do it faster if you slash 1/3 of the team. Either slam the remaining team members with addition work or add more resources to do it faster.

Feels like these idiots are throwing people names into a hat and pulling out names to lay off without any consideration of what they have contributed to the organization. It just adds additional work load to other team members, which creates zero additional value.

Does anyone know if there's people that specialize in figuring out where noise is coming from in a place?

I know it sounds weird... but someone above me in my building, they run their washing machine the entire night... like we are talking starts at midnight and stops at 6am... I have no idea how many loads or what the reason is... but it's every. single. night.

When the machine gets into a noisier cycle or the load gets imbalanced, I've tried so many times to go upstairs into the hallway to like... listen at doors (as much as I can without being a total creeper) or see where it's coming from but I cannot for the life of me figure out which unit it's coming from.

I tried blanketing the 6 units above in notices a couple times pointing out the hours for running these things to no avail, but the strata company can't do anything monetary fine wise unless I figure out which fucking unit it is.

I think I need someone that specializes in like... sound analysis? Or has special equipment that can enhance sounds? I don't know...

Borrow a stethoscope?

Play loud music at the same time. Whoever doesn't complain is the culprit.

First of all, "making money" means mothing if the company is drowning in debt or otherwise mismanaged. The fact that they're laying people off while "making money" means that they are likely looking for buyers by making the books more attractive.

Secondly, from the way you're saying things you're not part of management, which means you have no idea if the company is actually profitable from "making money".

What you're describing is textbook mismanagement, and you're very likely on a sinking ship. Hell, even if not, I would not want to work in such an environment and given how you called management idiots, sounds like you don't want to either. Start updating that resume.

whitev70r 09-28-2021 03:44 PM

Edit nvm ... someone posted in the Crappy Canadian Gas thread about Shell going 87, 91 93 ... getting rid of 89. Don't know what to think about this.

westopher 09-28-2021 03:49 PM

I treated both the m3s to some 93. Did it feel better? I don't know. Did I convince myself it felt better? You're damn right I did. That was worth it right there.

There are thermal cams that are expensive to rent that might be able to help. I’m sure running a washer for 6 hours would generate a good amount of heat compared to other units with nothing running inside of them.

I have thermal cams myself but I’m not sure they’d be powerful enough compared to these specialized units that I’ve heard of.

68style 09-28-2021 04:48 PM

That’s a really good idea actually cuz they’re stackable units I can only imagine they’re running the dryer at the same time and that’s gonna be pouring heat out too. How complicated are those to use???

westopher 09-28-2021 05:17 PM

I mean, probably everyone on RS knows a nurse or doctor, but either way, I'm not super worried 68style is going to try and bang my wife so if he needs to borrow hers I'll be ok.
