The problem in that particular case was that the company did this so much with various teams that it caused incredible turnover. We had a great mobile team that slowly left the company because they were being asked to prioritize web work, and when they all left and the company realized that there was mobile work to be done, they started asking us web devs to prioritize mobile. They were getting lots of complaints across the org of never-ending context switching and they didn't really care. I'll ship stuff because it's my job, but I won't stick around for management that can't be bothered to keep their mobile and web teams happy enough to prevent these insane context switches.
