- lb1lf 8y ago-An unsurprising, but somewhat amusing tidbit from the article is that Hydro's senior employees got a chance to shine today - while younger employees had only ever operated the plant via SCADA systems taken offline today, the staff closer to retirement ran the show like it was 1975. A diverse workforce can be a bonus when things go pear-shaped; with any luck Hydro (and others!) take the lesson to heart and train all staff in fallback measures as part of their disaster planning.
- quakeguy 8y agoIm glad to hear that. Hoping the younger staff will learn from the seniors, how to control the foundry and infrastructure. Thumbs up!
