This is happening to me in the trades.
Im in maintenance as an industrial electrician.
New plants came to town paying current market rate and snagged most of the top talent.
Then the company started quiet-firing to avoid layoffs. It killed all motivation.
Then they froze hiring as we kept losing people. We are now short on HVAC, mechanics, and electricians.
Lucky me I'm the only guy who can do all three so im running ragged all day.
We have response times we have to meet but our vehicle (an electric GEM) had the charger die, it's only $2k but they won't let me order it so we all walk everywhere. Huge plant I easily bust 30k+ steps and 20+ stories climbed via stairs.
We then had a mechanic and an electrician take paternity leave so we are even more shorthanded. Still wont let us hire.
We lost the maintenance manager and cant get another one for what we pay and the condition the business is in now.
I love my job andy co-workers but I'm sending out resumes and interviewing because I can't take all the extra workload with no extra pay while our administration keeps getting more money and bonuses.
How do companies keep making the same mistakes over and over expecting different results? They don't, they know what's going on and are getting theirs before the bottom falls out.
