Conversely, if this is indeed true motivation and management has accepted it, kudos to them. It sounds like the engineers said that the situation is untenable and this is the cover we need to fix it, and they got what they asked for.

I don't know, it just doesn't feel very scheduled to me.

> I'm about to loose thousands of dollars by the end of Monday 20th because of the automatic shipping deadline on Tindie and it currently being down. I've tried contacting support multiple times but they are not helping. Please respond before my business fails!

Right? Retail stores close for a few days for renovations and nobody has a heart attack.
You cannot build a physical store in parallel to the current one and swap them in place once done. Here the issue is not that it's down for several days, it's that there is no reason given for something so unusual
You can rope off sections of a store and remodel it while it's open. I've been in them.
Yeah but they HAVE to be finished on time because otherwise the supermarket manager will have a heart attack.
