Supply Chain Cuts Deep

Too many cute moves for Venkatesh means the road is over for many who climbed the fake ladder he built. Manufacturing excellence is gone while infrastructure and analytics costs are too high. 20% reduction in headcount on the way, ouch!

@2wyl+1qLaw0Oj This isn’t just supply chain but can be used to describe many parts of the company

Supply Chain org is filled with imbeciles. There are so many toxic old timers that just high five reach other to stay relevant.

Everyone just makes an insincere attempt to do the work where all the meetings just become about inside jokes, patting each other on the back, and talking about the work that needs to happen without any clear idea or indication how it will actually get done.

VA is a talented and thoughtful leader. Agree tho not investing if recruitment is being cut. Blame PR and MM because they are both heartless and clueless.

To be fair at this point the inventory isn't managed by the SC team. Supply forecasting and Management is under soon to retire AW who reports to MF not VA. Not a VA fan but the blame isn't in his court yet. Notice I said yet......

Maybe the SC team should show their worth by finally managing inventory proactively and accurately.

They do very little of this.

Supply chain won’t expand when they just laid off the entire recruiting team, if that’s any indication

VA is a joke. Rose to CSCO of a $51B global leader based off what.........DP leader in China and COO of Converse? VA is the epitomy of what every one speaks to here. Fake authenticity, playing the part, and kissing some serious A$$ to people no longer here. Not qualified and makes snap judgements. Like......we should investigate buying our own planes to save money on AF. WTF?

I hear “need more resources” and “critical function” within the supply chain leadership whenever layoff subject comes up as if it won’t affect us. They’re wrong, right? It seems like no one is “safe” and the SD, D, level leadership has no idea what’s to come.

I keep hearing supply chain won’t be heavily affected as they “need more resources” not less
