#operations

The top leadership in Mooresville has finally steered the company into the perfect storm, and the ship is sinking. Operations are falling apart on a daily basis at every level of management. The days of spinning BS to Wall Street during the earnings call are coming to a rapid conclusion. No amount of choreographed photo ops from stores on LinkedIn will prevent the inevitable. The company is going under.

Super excited to report that CS will lead the cross functional offense.
APLA will cease operations shortly and be folded into other geos. Those with APLA jobs now will NOT be laid off they will be transferred to other geos. Cheers all

What business units are still running in Bakersfield? Is ALS still in business in Bako?

Where else is in danger of going the way of Australia? Guyana from the beginning we don’t operate and have contractor doing everything.

I’ve heard factories are being asked to cut >$50M yearly while still ramping, that’s an extreme target. In the semiconductor space, savings of that magnitude usually come from headcount reductions, vendor contract restructuring, consolidation of manufacturing operations, etc.
Trying to hit that scale of savings during a ramp is especially problematic because ramping fabs need additional headcount, training, materials, and spare parts. That makes it contradictory: the fabs are being asked to grow output and shrink cost simultaneously.

Mohammad Yunus’s reputation (reducing headcount in Assembly/Test in Asia) suggests a playbook of workforce reduction as the primary lever. Bringing that mindset to U.S. fabs is dangerous and reckless from a senior leader driving knowledge drain. I’m surprised employees are not organizing to join Unions.

TI may have set itself up by over-promising Wall Street and under-investing in scalable cost infrastructure. The resulting “savings at any cost” mentality risks not only operations, but also employee trust and legal exposure.

You can’t even get through to them and you can tell those agents are miserable. Wayfair needs to rethink and retool this mess.

Take a moment to register the names of people who led operating model design.... when it fails, we will know whom to blame

Anyone else filling like they should have taken the package. On the verge of just putting my two weeks in. Management sc--wed up big time on this reorg and no transition made the stand up of the new org a damn mess. End of the day leadership will not take accountability but will continue to get fat bonuses. Almost so horrible all you can do is laugh at this point.

Anyone aware of layoffs in Operations Risk? I heard of some today but no real details.

"Can we just have systems that work?

Follett OTC "best we can do is another VP"

I can’t believe the whole ops leadership is from Roger’s communications and they are the worst leaders possible trying to be top dog creating duplication and headaches as if they know what the heck we all do. Better yet some have been here 5 months and already getting promotions to SR roles, yet the people that have been here for years working their butts off can’t get a raise. Idk how HR doesn’t see that

Why does Cash Vault have such high turnover? They are contract workers, so they don't get displaced, but it seems like they come and go so quickly.
