The strange logic of the Almaz-Antey leadership: “In order to save, we are preparing to reduce 30% of employees and are making efforts to maintain and build up our intellectual and human potential”

Against the background of the constant statements about the shortage of qualified engineering and working personnel in the country's defense industry sector, information is coming about upcoming reductions at one of the largest Russian defense enterprises. Information Agency TASS With reference to the leadership of the Concern VKO "Almaz-Antey" in the person of the general director Jan Novikov, he announces his readiness to reduce as much as a third of the personnel of the enterprise.

From the statement of the Almaz-Antey CEO:

In the second quarter of this year, the concern as a head company will have to optimize the staffing level of its employees. The planned amount of reduction in staff number of employees of Concern EKR Almaz-Antey JSC can be up to 30%. This is done due to the need for austerity.

As it turns out, austerity is not only measures to “optimize staffing”, but, as Yan Novikov put it, “other activities”. According to him, now the first place for the enterprise is the issue of saving resources.

Against the background of statements of readiness to reduce about a third of the company's employees, the management of Concern VKO Almaz-Antey declares the application of “efforts to preserve and enhance intellectual, personnel and production potentials”.

It is not entirely clear how the statement about the upcoming large-scale reduction fits with the statement about “efforts to increase the intellectual and human potential”. Or did 30% of the staff on Almaz-Anthei have stopped entering this potential for some unknown reason? ..

The statement comes together just in a very understandable way, one word in words, but in fact a completely different one ...

[Pravdarm]

Something still looks like a sabotage! From above! In the 90s, the collapse of the defense industry was obviously taking place, but now it’s no longer possible (so that it is clearly not visible!), But it continues quietly. Bankrupt, close, cut, seize! They cover, veil with crowds of new achievements, developments (many are just the legacy of the USSR!), Slogans about modernization, optimization! Combine, enlarge, reverse disconnect!

[cniza]

Sabotage, "generals" from the defense industry, they are tightening the screws, so there is opposition.

[Baikonur]

at one of the largest enterprises of the Russian defense industry ... CEO Yana Novikova announces readiness to cut as much as a third personnel of the enterprise.

What is that????????
Right now, the plywood "shortener" Rosvertol is popping up! And they are going to grab it !!!

"generals" from the defense

Not at all!!!
It is HIGHSUPPLIED fans, novices of advisers-amerizraVShEy !!!

[Sensatus]

For the current optimization, 30% is some kind of absurdity. The same defense budget was reduced by 10 percent, not more. Plus inflation - a total reduction in production by 20%. This is a 10% reduction in staff, not more (the remaining 10% due to cuts in workload, salaries and bonuses is logical to carry out).

Most likely, the production was developed in the future, but it became known about the upcoming additional budget cuts for the defense and the minimization of promising developments. It is sad.

Concern as a parent company already in the second quarter of this year will have to optimize the staffing of its employees.

... that is, abbreviation in Almaz-Antey as HEAD ENTERPRISE ! ... well, not just for ALL CONCERN ! ... which includes more than 57 enterprises! ... feel the difference ?! ...

1st line:

Against the background of constant statements about the lack of qualified engineering and working personnel in the country's defense industry sector

Or aren't the engineers at the head office? 30% - service staff or plankton? Then it's time! Let yourself brew coffee and scrub the floors. Stayed in the chairs of the campaign, these 70% of engineers!

[dauria]

Stayed in the chairs of the campaign, these 70% of engineers!

It became funny. A first-hand story - becoming a teacher in the United States is difficult. You need to learn. But firing even an Alkash teacher is not just difficult, but impossible, the union will not.
Here they throw 30% even loafers, and no one leads the ear. Or do the rest expect that the bourgeoisie is good, personally they will not trample later?

Or aren't the engineers at the head office?

At my work in 2008 there were cuts. The situation was as follows: for 100 hard workers, in our company, there were 500 office employees, after the reduction of hard workers there were the same number, and 300 office workers left. The engineering department was not cut, but they cut everyone’s salary there because of which, most of them ran into competitors, which negatively affected the future work of the company.
Earlier, serious funds were invested in these employees - they were taken to England and Germany for training.
When the founders realized what the joke was and why profits were falling, they fired the CEO but it was too late - you won’t get people back.

PS
The company is still in deep pope.

And what has changed, what is not allowed in the open? What a stupid guess. Why not like 90?

[Vend]

Well, it’s clear that in 30% cleaners, retirees fall ... But how they increase this question. Where are the shots from?

[Pereira]

Which (literary word prohibited on the site), having learned about mass reductions, now wants to get a job there? To be kicked out after half a year? Only a drunk and truant, which is not taken anywhere else.

[alexmach]

My firm laid off about 5% of its staff last year. At the same time, there was not a word in the press (the company is world-famous). The very management of the words "dismissal, reduction, etc." fear like fire, speaks in the style of "who fired? We fired? We did not fire! We adapted the new business model and revised the staffing table, we removed some positions and did not fire people, positions and people are different things"

[Lieutenant Izhe]

Well, it can be seen that cleaners, pensioners, fall in 30% ...

as well as: builders, managers, marketers, economists, surveyors, lawyers, etc. AUXILIARY STAFF.

They were supplied by the idle factories of Nikolaev, the Yuzhmash concern, the Malyshev Kharkiv plant and other drying up factories in Ukraine.

[alexmach]

Storyteller. There, all personnel have long been retirement age. such cadres have low labor mobility, and with the influx of young people into enterprises there the last 25 years are even worse than in Russia. I know a person who worked as a student at Yuzhmash. Says there at the beginning of 2000 there was already a complete failure and collapse. We kept on one project of the sea launch and the development of another 60s ..

2) Dine in the dining room.
3) Leave work.

maybe not in the whole concern.
I will assume:
Reduce retirees (with exceptions of course) with the payment of 5 salaries. They have already prepared a shift for themselves.
Promising students are taken to vacant places with further dropouts.
Savings of the RFP fund for long-term service coefficients + youth are employed.

A reduction option is possible as on Russian Railways, they will create sharashkin offices like Outsourcing companies that perform the same work as before, only for a lower salary by the same people, only without benefits, without work clothes, and other benefits from the company.
In general, an effective dough drank close to the feeder.
And those who are outraged, they say today you are looking for the truth and tomorrow work.
And here is probably the same scenario. Alas.

[Pereira]

And so it will be. For reductions - reduction, but work is necessary.

[siberalt]

And where do you want to put the army at the gates of effective one-finger managers? They also need to live as it should

[Pereira]

It is the effective menagers who organize the reductions. In order for them to have enough money and not to share with anyone.

If this actually happens - there will be trouble for the defense industry, but if this is a campaign of convicting people who demand to cut everything (the liberal wing of the government), then it will be interesting for an average person to observe the course of events.

In general, that is not entirely strange logic! Indeed, not all of the large number of employees are highly skilled. And with the advent of robotic technology, one million stokers are not required. You need to look at specific numbers. But the downsizing trend can be seen everywhere in the West too. This is a problem not only of the present, but also of a bigger future!

it wouldn’t have been strange if it hadn’t seen a trend in most of the country's enterprises. Optimization is good, but as many people say correctly, the reduction for some reason concerns the producers, and not the bosses. Moreover, for the most part, superiors are very far from production — they are simply effective managers or managers.

Strange statement. A 30% reduction in staff usually occurs before the closure of a manufacturing plant, when there are no orders and no work.
Did the army stop ordering air defense systems? Or have they bought robots that can replace humans?

Many media outlets at one time associated with the Almaz-Antey concern a number of high-profile contract killings that received wide publicity in the 2003-2009 years. The motive is not the main activity of the concern or related weapon secrets, but the criminal redistribution of property of the enterprises included in the concern.

Is it not here that the dog rummaged, the kids at the remodelers grew up, it’s time to attach to the business.

[Rock_n_roll]

In Diamond, you can safely reduce 70%, this is the ballast left over from Soviet times. There are 10 parasites per engineer. in the USSR it was understandable, employment, retraining, etc. cost more than just keeping crowded staff with a small salary. Now, an intelligent engineer should receive it sensibly, he needs an incentive, a motive, respectively, stupidly there will be no money left for snipers. So everything is correct. We want to have the best complexes in the world, we need to attract sensible ones and free ourselves from ballast.

[Aleks76]

It is not serious what an intelligent engineer can produce without qualified workers? And how much does a engineer need to pay a miracle to replace one whole workshop?

Nobody is cutting off skilled workers and is not going to, because this will affect the efficiency of the concern. You can see completely off topic.

“Indeed, unemployment is not growing in our country, but we have a very sharp drop in income. Sharp in terms of both the real level of wages and incomes in general,” she emphasized at the Russian Business Week.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, "all this is reflected in the decline in the purchasing power of the population," as well as retail turnover, which is declining at a "serious" rate.

It began to reach the giraffe that it had already been optimized. It’s not people who are being cut, but salaries, forcing them to work for 8000 rubles. This is one of the anti-crisis measures of the Medvedev government, which has reached the military-industrial complex. In words, one as always, and the execution of the seams!

The question immediately arises, but Yan Novikov does not accidentally belong to the clan of Russian liberals? After all, their task, the worse for Russia, the better for them. They are preparing to flee abroad, and there they will not feed without merit. So they work out their bright future. The accounts are there, the children are there, studying at the best educational institutions, and all at the expense of Russia. After all, the West pays them for the collapse of Russia and its economy, so the liberals are trying, but quietly, quietly, imperceptibly, beloved.

[VP]

What does the machinations of various liberals and other things?
I will explain with an example with which I am familiar.
One enterprise (high-tech, doing very advanced things for the defense industry), shortly before the crisis, decided to expand and modernize.
This helps him to work out orders normally. But loans hang on it, including foreign currency. Which, as everyone understands, now costs not quite as much as they cost when they were taken.
And now it’s hard to refinance.
The company gets out, it has a good share of foreign orders for civilian. But the increase in salaries certainly cannot be discussed.
If someone is in the same situation, especially if there were targeted sanctions against him, then everything is complicated.
On the other hand, in the end they will unload the credit and become stronger at the exit.
