MCFE have downsized by a lot since last year, their factory staff are down by 60%, all that are left are non-dutch workers. And support to Briggs has been drastically dropping, lead times slipping and delivery dates missed on a regular basis.

Incidentally, with the influx of Yale staff due, Briggs have today offered voluntary redundancies out to the staff at Orbital 7. Could be a repeat of Lex Harvey / Finning when a lot of the Finning managers were replaced by Lex Harvey guys.
Could be a good thing if the right managers go, but the way things seem to go with Briggs they will get rid of the good managers and leave the bumbling idiots in powerful positions.
