I'm holding myself back!!

Today one of my co-workers got sent home for basically acting dumb. He got into a heated debate, with 3 managers, and when they would ask him questions and then wouldn't let him answer without interrupting him, he got a tad disrespectful.

I can understand that though, I know some one that constantly interrupts people...she talks over you as if you weren't there. It is infuriating!

However, my co-worker was correct for being miffed to begin with. Whenever any other department is short-handed, management pulls someone from my shift to cover. This in itself isn't a problem, but when management also wants us to finish the same amount of work with only half a team in the same amount of time...well, it doesn't take an advanced degree to figure out that it isn't going to happen.

Let's say it takes 10 people 2 hours to finish a job...now let's say management pulls between 2 and 5 people off that team. It is simply not possible for the same job to be finished (correctly & safely) in the same two hour time frame. In fact, I had to speak up to my supervisor about it as well. Why does it always seem that the people that get promoted to management always seem to lose whatever common sense they might have had??
