Not surprising. The company I used to work for has had a hiring freeze for a year. I left over a year ago and they made my friend do my job as well as his. He's still bitching about it every time we play golf together. Definately accounts for the rise in "productivity" but I've always believed that was BS. My friend that I worked with could barely keep up with his own job when I worked there let alone do mine as well. Frankly, he doesn't even have the skills to do my old job because certain languages I wrote programs in he doesn't know and isn't likely to learn since he's a year from retirement. In a long winded way what I'm saying is productivity numbers may look good on paper but the name is misleading. Workers aren't getting more productive, certain functions just aren't getting done anymore.
