Printing press. The pressman that operated the largest press quit, fired, no showed, or whatever. Margins are already thin so losing just 1 press can be pretty devastating. A pressman, even a trained one, has to be trained since each machine is build to order. It’s not something you can post a job in Indeed and have a new employee after a week.
- pessimizer 4y agoI've seen this happen, and the company end up in serious danger (and they still were down a pressman and flailing last time I heard.) Somehow the fact that everything is depending on pressmen doesn't affect the way management pays or treats them, though.

- UncleEntity 4y agoA long time ago I was being trained on working a massive printing press for the local newspaper, quite the complex machine. Then they found out I was leaving for university in a month and weren’t too happy with having wasted time on someone who wasn’t sticking around. Even the simple stuff needs constant attention so they didn’t end up with a major paper jam and having all the ad stuffers and delivery drivers sitting around waiting.
