My workplace keeps firing the one person in charge of important tasks and then doesn't replace that task because no one in management understood the task was necessary. They fired the person who counts inventory, now no one does inventory and we're all expected to just live with it. I think the idea is someone is supposed to take initiative and do the inventory tasks on top of their normal job, but why would they?
Constant carousel of firing an important person, learning that person did an important task, management rearranges people to do extra tedious stuff, then management pats themselves on the back.
Less workers doing the same amount of work = more profit. That's why they pat themselves on the back. They think they're geniuses for making the company more profitable, failing to realize that little trick has its limits as everyone gets worn down, loses sleep, performs worse, etc.
Places hate taking inventory because they realize they have less stock than the computer said, meaning they "lose" money when they correct it. They'd rather just keep pretending. Literally fictitious capital.
The inventory I mean are supplies we use for manufacturing the products. We have no central database for incoming raw materials, no inventory to know what we have, and no one in charge of tagging incoming supplies. It makes no sense and we realize we're depleted on something important at least once per week.
