Well, I'll tell you exactly what that was.
The company I need to shut up about was bought out a year prior. What they wanted to do was buy the company low, sell the business, and make a profit. Kinda like house flipping, but with people's livelihoods.
Business flipping, as I've seen with my job before they came to their senses and realized their plan isn't going to work, is basically a corpse rush. They ignore all necessary infrastructure to get the business' value up to what they want to see it at and sell. So basically, if you buy that business, it's like buying a car with bald tires, oil not changed after 70,000 miles, etc.
Problem with the corpse rush model of business is that the business needs to survive to cross that dollar threshold. My employer saw the writing on the wall and treated it like an actual business when it became clear is wasn't going to happen. My friend's didn't. The equipment was failing so badly they were losing money and losing customers. Their solution was to cut costs so razor thin that a 24 hour department was staffed by 4 people.
