Please tell me if this is a legit development strategy, but I feel like it is not.
Okay. So my department is split up into several divisions. Each division members have their own unique skill sets. But right now they're trying to rotate people into different divisions so that those “unique” skill sets are acquired by everyone, so that when someone (or everyone) in a certain division is unable to work, members from the other divisions are able to back us up.
I feel like there should be, idk, more workers in my department instead of my supervisors doing this? What do you think? I'm unsettled by this strategy.
