It's my Thursday. Almost done the week!
My company had a planned shutdown in December for Christmas/New Years. Just got word that one of our big customers is ramping one of their projects. The order quantity for the entire month just doubled. I don't think that shutdown is going to happen any more.

Way better than them canceling their planned orders. More work is always better than no work. |

In specific, this customer concerns me. They've continued to work outside of their existing system (using spreadsheets to manage instead of a forecast system), and they've blind sided us with immense short lead-time orders on several occasions. When we've communicated some level of difficulty in meeting the need-by date, they escalate until we've got a senior executive putting pressure on us to perform heroics. I also suspect that since they've ordered large quantities of several parts of their system, they will abruptly (and with shortened lead time) realize they forgot to place orders for the rest, and need everything yesterday. This may go from a "we plan to close during these days" to "you will all be putting in 80 hours this week" and I am concerned my company will be killed by its own success, and by the lack of preparation on the part of our customer.

True. I'll take the weight of responsibility and occasional worry over unemployment any day!

Folks just need time to decompress And from my personal experience the people who made the decisions all were able to enjoy their holidays and family. It still eats at me 23yrs. later

Working for the county, if it rained or there was a melt off you knew you were going to work for 24hrs. but you were still going to get time off. Unlike JL’s situation, a planned shut down, the folks ( I’m sure ) we’re making plans
