My department was TOLD that each individual needs to know each other's job otherwise your job is on the line. Not a bad idea to cross train and it should have been done years ago. The ISSUE is that the managers/supervisors are not managing it or providing schedules for each employee that take into count deadlines and workloads. The Team Leads bring it up at each staff meeting, " you must learn each other's job" though don't carve our time in our days to do train or learn.

I learn during the day at work. Another competitor hit job
You must learn it all on your own time after hours and weekends. It’s your way of proving you’re loyal to the company.
It seems like they are preparing to cut some of you as manager want y’all to know each other’s function so when some of you are gone, those that stay will still able to replace you. Just don’t teach them everything in case they cut you so they will have a hard time replacing you
What department are you in that they are making you do this??
Threats aren’t motivational. Hmm wonder if nobody does it and the boss gets fired
