Oh my word yes.
In my industry (which I didn't get into until 1998) I've seen this on both my customer's end not buying enough stock and then panicking and out suppliers not having the stock we need even though we always buy before we need it.
Minimize employees and their pay/benefits. Maximize "productivity" and profits.
Leave no room for error.
I would rail about that at our plant in the past. Managers forcing through product ahead of other items and setting very tough deadlines without them considering vacation days for the shop employees leaving us understaffed temporarily or even the possibility that a machine might malfunction or need maintenance.
It has gotten better as we have changed managers though.

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
