One person goes on vacation and everything else comes to a stand still.
Seems like most people are just sitting on their hands doing nothing and very few are actually productive with anything

There is some irony to the downvotes @1brn+1omuNUDN is receiving.
If Price's Law is in effect here, then separating the weakest links should actually improve things. Or at the very least save money by eliminating the dead weight.
That's sounds as a team in Purchasing, they are useless. They always pick the wrong supplier and nobody blames them for their choices. At least the Beach Boys Gang is exposing Purchasing as a useless group including STA, Finance and OCE. Bunch of mo--ns, they do not do any engineering but push their imaginary targets on engineering necks. If you check Super CDSID, thore organizations have more heads that UnSE Div. that really does engineering. Even IT are useless, they do not to be full time employees, they do nothing relevant, no real engineering jobs, send them to work at LAP, OAP, KAP, LTPO, STP, VDTP so they appreciate what UAW do.
OP is describing Price's Law: half the output is accomplished by the square root of the number of people involved. Thumb in the air here indicates... that 85% of the white-collar work done here is from a mere 500 people.
We used to have redundancies to cover these things.
Used to.
The company will be stronger after the separations.
Agree. This is becoming the norm with all the off-shoring. Manager in NA goes on vacation for a week. Before leaving, gives a list of tasks to his staff in India. Comes back to find out not only did they not complete a thing, now they are taking vacation themselves. Of course, he will probably be separated, b/c his "team" can't perform. You get what you pay for. Stop with the off shoring!
You should have watched the townhall this morning.
Everything is fine.
"Most'? That's quite the leap from your single observation.
Not all teams are as dysfunctional as yours.
