They moved the assembly of the phone part of the production to Mexico. Oh, it was going to save so much money! They never made back the money they lost on the numerous things they never thought about.
One year, at the end of the year, a truck shipment of phones coming from Mexico to the US was hijacked. Eventually it was found & returned, but the sales department couldn't make year end sales because there was nothing to ship!
Sometimes the shipment of product from China to Mexico would not be on time, so the workers in Mexico were paid to clean the building. This happened so often, that we laughed that they had the cleanest working facility on the planet.
They hired a director who didn't know Spanish, so they also had to hire an interpreter for him. The special insurance policies they had to get to cover them for things like hijacked shipments were unbelievable. And the list went on & on. I asked why they didn't just close shop & bring it back to the States. "It will be worth it eventually."
