Yeah, a great idea that takes a fundamental change in how management thinks about things though.
When I worked a "normal" job I spent a decade getting my peers comfortable with some cross training to make it easier to do short rotations through other sections only to have management constantly undermine this effort by deciding " labor costs were too high " "LaBoR CoStS wErE tOo HiGh!?!?!?" and reducing the number of people in the department on all shifts.
Then it just turned back into, keep your head down, avoid eye contact, admit to knowing nothing outside of the bare minimum. And I don't blame those co-workers one bit.
