The day Appleton said they would never chase cheap overseas labor, I knew the stage was set for outsourcing, layoffs, redundancies, cost-synergies, etc.

Hourly employees will be almost completely gone by 2019. Over this next year huge changes will be taking place. Layoffs are guaranteed over the next 12 to 18 months. Hourly employees really need to look for other options elsewhere. The new CEO is... — read more

Management needs to allow a "write to know" column at MERC. Employees can ask questions there

Too many bosses anywhere in any company is never good. Micron has let this problem get way out of hand. Perhaps more Supervisors and Managers need to be replaced by Management Temps like everyone else in this company.

Bloated Management that goes on and on. No reason al all to have so many highly paid management personnel in this company. I hope the new Boss looks at this problem closely.

To the new CEO Please, please change the current philosophy of keeping an over abundence of management personnel that in many cases are not needed. Stop employing managers to do the work of supervisors. How many management people do we need to tell... — read more

Spring! March or April is usually when Micron starts to put a layoff plan into motion by leaking layoff rumors and then the layoff options appear. Layoffs are a part of the Micron yearly plan, Boise is no exception. Here we go again.

Do you know if large layoffs job cuts are planned for this and next year? What are your thoughts, I am especially interested in Boise.

How can any supervisor and Manager come to work every day and watch their reports just standing around on their phones every day with nothing to do? Not just recently but for the last two years! How can any adult be satisfied with coming to work and... — read more
