I tuned out a lot of that conversation, but I think he was referring to the setup or rehearsals running late. E.G. you have more Masq entries than you planned for and you don't want to turn them away and they all need more TLC in the rehearsals, so rehearsals run late, and then you need to reset the room, and then you have less time than budgeted for dinner. Or the FGOH (Filk) shows up late for sound check and takes a long time and you run over. Etc.
Also, people have been trying to recruit staff for that convention. And have been falling. This isn't just Tech. I know at least two other areas (which I will share with you privately if you want) that feel they are badly under staffed. I'm not sure exactly what is going on. Probably lots of things. A lot of people got badly burnt out after London. The economy is still in the toilet in many ways. Etc. (I can think of at least two more reasons which I am not going to speak of publicly.)
