I’ve worked in the medical device industry my whole career and something is definitely up. Traditionally, the environment is hard core, work until you bleed, into the weekends, during Christmas dinner- do whatever it takes to make the numbers. For the last 6 months to a year, maybe longer, my company, along with almost every other one I know of is dealing with backorders... and no real plan to address them, as if it doesn’t matter. Aside from the constant corporate wokeness factor, I received CEO messaging that basically says to take Fridays off now. I have a friend at a competitive company who was recently given similar instructions to work less. Its as if we are winding down and preparing to close the doors. What’s going on?
