#operations

Team of the usual suspects working on a plan to fully outsource Permian operations. Similar to Guyana SBM Model. Being close to the wellhead to be safe was never true. Timeline for change is unclear. Those in operations will be offered to switch over to third party service provider as was done previously with groups like IT and GREF with the associated cut in pay and benefits.

Anyone have any insight on potential impacts to Retail Ops?

In my mind retail ops and CS ops should merge so that the processes are aligned. I know it didn’t work with OPOO, but that was because of a terrible rollout and execution. It was basically, you also support retail now too.

There were engineering, IT, MES, operations,and HR lay offs on Wednesday and Friday. In which horrible same people force work inventory . While it was happening management were eating steaks

I am recently retired from your largest competitor (you can figure that out) after 40 years that saw our company go from the Stone Age to the dominant retailer in the World.

I still follow the retail business closely, and indeed these are changing times for all. Reviewing the posts regarding the recent layoffs at Target, I can certainly understand peoples pain and concern. At the same time, I want to say to a lot of the commenters complaining that it's time to face reality. Target has not kept pace with the times, particularly in technology and operations and store level execution.

I urge all of you to get out of your Corporate cacoon in Minneapolis and visit a darn Target store. They are awful. Standards, execution, merchandising, all just below expectations. Out of stocks on Merchandise everywhere. My local Target in an affluent area of Omaha NE ( 180th and West Center) is a pig stye. Carts of returns everywhere, freight all over the floor. The store does not get straightened at night or throughout the day. The Walmart across the street is pristine. There was a time when this is what a Walmart store looked like. Not anymore. The Walmarts I've been in lately are much cleaner, neater and instock than the Targets, and years ahead on technology that both associates and customers use to enhance their shopping experience.

Quit complaining and get out into your stores!

It started with parts of Tech. Will parts of Operations and Marketing be outsourced? Who knows, maybe even Distribution in certain markets.

Any team that is in Azure is reporting 100% impact. All regions. Azure support helpless on the call. During peak season!

Man, sure am glad we decommissioned Chaska and Elk River and mandated the company go 100x to the cloud!!! What could go wrong?

What a disaster.

Area that I work at was out was a steady 5 days schedule with two days off. Sometimes you can work at 6 day. Typically there'd be somebody calling out. Or if you had hours left to drive come in and help. But the six day was removed( it was never guaranteed but it was available. But now As routes have been cut. Now there's mandatory stand by days implemented. You'll be called in if they need you or if the situation allows the management to bring somebody to help or someone calls out and you can cover the route. They used to team people up but now apparently that's not being allowed. Unless its allowed. But you could get called anywhere from two in the morning till 8 in the morning. So I guess they're expecting people to stay awake from two in the morning all the way till 8:00am to possibly maybe get caught in to run a route. The same time they hired 11 new people. The problem right now is that we have standby guys anywhere from 3 to 5 kn a monday on a Monday 9 to 10 drivers on a wed or Thursday. Apparently they say we're doing okay we're doing great for the area. How we doing great with cutting routes and forcing drivers to live off of 4 days of work. 3 are light case days. Hope things get better. Are we keep hearing is it's slow season it's never been this slow ever. Those drivers that have been here for 20 plus years that have said it's never been this slow. I guess the merge or the potential merger could be causing this I don't know.....not sure what is going on. Its going to be a rough winter

Is arbroath Scotland still the jewel in the crown all quiet there nowadays

Any news? Microsoft DIS is moving operations to Costa Rica. What about other campaign's?

It seems like every couple of weeks our refineries have some kind of operations situation. Is this normal? Or should we be concerned?

We were a well oiled machined when I ran Operations.

Heard that they are touching the operation now

So maintenance just put alarms on the freezers that go off after 2 minutes of the door being open. How are you suppose to do your job when you get over a 1000 piece truck per day? Not to mention all the freight in the steel plus 3 to 4 rows deep of back frieght stacked 3 high.

Not sure how these folks plan to survive. Most of their field personnel are financing the company because they don't pay their expenses on time. The hard part of working here is when they tell to find another vendor because they haven't paid the other 3 yet and the vendors won't do work for us any longer. I've never seen a business function the way this one does, and I don't think it will keep this pace long!

Complete garbage!

Amazing that we are back in Iraq after two years trying to get out. And now the question of who will actually work Iraq after getting rid of the Aussies, Canadians, Malaysians and Brits. Why would we do this to our global team when we are trying to grow new developments

What's happening with the Pescara base ?

I’ve seen around my city and district, Wells Fargo is adding in new or additional ATM’s at branches, new TCR’s which allow tellers to deposit or withdraw directly from the machine next to them without needing to buy money from the vault pushing forward efficiency. Yet we still have drive thrus??? Non-revenue building and a dying generation who refuses to move forward.

What’s the plan here WF?

Chevron refinery and now Big Spring refinery. Has it begun?

According to a McKenzie report. The Mars corridor, Nakika, and Stones will be on extreme production declines and operational issues within the next 5 years…
What’s the inside perspective?

Has the delivery of product on carts been implemented anywhere yet? How has that been working out? Also curious about the overnight deliveries and being out of stores by 5am. Has this program started and how is it working?

What is the rationale behind newly formed Rev Ops under David Schmoock? Will it create overlapping roles and lead to WFR? Does it include any updates to Services group?

Hearing Enbridge is buying or leasing the imperial oil office in quarry park.

Unbelievable!!

Please help this old boomer… retired and need to pay my life insurance.

I heard enbridge workers were told this?
Anyone else hear? Are they taking the whole campus? Is imperial moving out?

From all the peons suffering through the NALI process, release the darn Equipment Move Schedule already!

We know you have it.

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.
