Truth. Headcount there is still huge. It will be many years before it's closed. It's got double the headcount of the shiny new hub in Dallas.
Let’s face it there are too many employees there. Most of the managers are from legacy businesses with questionable moral compasses.
DSM is the last place on earth anyone from Hudson Yards wants to visit. Going to gut it! Will Sell Jordan Creek to a farmers collective.
The slow drip is happening everywhere. Des Moines head count isn't decreasing faster than any other location.
The slow drip in DSM has been going on for years and will continue indefinitely. The DSM Register posts the exact same article every two weeks as click bait. Still has over 10k FTEs. They forget to share that part.
Mouse-man Charlie is gonna burn down ALL of DSM eventually. Another score for Bangalore!
OC is determined in reducing resources there.
