“We've never missed a manpower reduction target,”
That is a SAD statement. The fact that this metric is somehow spun as a positive makes me want to wretch. Our manufacturers are in RETREAT mode as opposed to attacking Toyota, Honda, etc...
We ought to instill goals in the industry that create the need to utter phrases such as..."We are vigorously filling headcount to satisfy increased demand"
That is a phrase that bothers me as well. I agree with you. They need to stop this retreat approach and take a more "We're going to take back the market" approach.
