Around 5 or 6 weeks ago, the work coming down the production line in the plant I worked for all but stopped. We've had maybe 3 days worth of work spread out over that whole time. I'm actually shocked we're still being given full 40 hour weeks. Normally this is our busiest time of year. Any questions about the lack of work is met with the same answer, "supply chain problems". As if I'm a total idiot who doesn't realize the other departments in the company, who use the same materials we do, are operating normally.
Our department is its own building, adjacent to the rest of the company. Well I found out, that building was sold. The day before all the work stopped. To a company that has nothing to do with manufacturing. Nobody told us of course, I had to dig. Over this last week, things have been disappearing from our building like its being cleared out. They took a bunch of job carts. A few key pieces of machinery are gone. They took most of the furniture and the vending machines out of the break room. They took the colored tape lines off the floor that were used to earmark space for new production lines. A handful of co-workers were also transferred to other departments without explanation. I'm figuring any day now we're going to be told it's our last. Probably right before the holidays because who doesn't like to rub salt in the wounds of worthless peasants.
Naturally I'm not getting any hits on any of the applications I sent out across multiple platforms. I swear to God I won't be homeless, one way or another
