Just heard notice given to close the Jacksonville valve manufacturing. It’s been a financial boat anchor for years!

I work for VRG Controls. I used to work for Becker prior to their move to Jacksonville. We watched this train wreck from afar. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.
I've been at the Jacksonville plant since it was GE. It's run by a bunch of yes men and women. I think we are on our 5th plant manager since it opened , I believe in 2015? It's run by self serving managment. Little training, zero accountability for everyone. Leadership making critical decisions about issues they have no idea about. Terrible customer service, only worried about numbers and not a quality product. I could see the writing on the wall for the last two plus years. Place has way to many issues to fix. Wrong people in wrong postions making d-mb decisions. Recipe for failure.
Must be all the fake degree H1-B visa employees, taking all the local jobs
Must be another rooftop consolidation. We are closing in on our precious 150M USD re-organizational saving. Keep going!
Yeah, we're shocked but not surprised at the same time. Must have lost the tax incentives or something. 18 months at the most, with the layoffs starting this coming January of 2024.
