Starting to get Involved
I've posted on this before:
The medical device company I work for is very lean in staffing. The products barely sell enough revenue to cover the costs of the manufacturing and employment contracts. The labs are very thin and the development and QC scientists double as manufacturing. They've all been frustrated for a while. We have our audit coming up in two months with 7 CAPAs from the last one under development by me. The staff of the R&D and manufacturing team quit this morning in mass. All 7 employees quit with leaving their laptops at the office along with their badges and letters.
This was the only group related to the science and research staff and the entire technical knowledge. My calls to them have been forwarded to voice mail. The executive leadership has asked me to do what I can but I'm unsure without their knowledge that our deficiencies in biocompatibility, sterilization validation and risk analysis can be completed without a staff. The departure included the VP of R&D and all of the lab scientists.
Has this ever happened to anyone?
