When Management gets desperate to fill a position - the decision has been made to demote someone by eliminating their current Role, but not before they train the person replacing them (which defeats the purpose of eliminating a position when it’s just a lateral push onto someone else’s plate). Do not let Management talk you into doing this - They will use buzzwords like “unprecedented times”, “wear many hats” or “we picked you because you are the most qualified” but the reality is that Management can’t keep anyone long term for these low level positions so they will find a stop gap employee as a temporary solution.
