Why is the picture for the story a picture of a tablet with the company logo? Someone needs to wake up the person in charge of graphics...
Gen AI has often done weird stuff like this.
Yeah, for some reason I like to think humans double check the work.
Gen AI sounds like the last generation after Gen Alpha
This is done for tech and social media companies all the time. I guess someones surface level take away from that was it’s just how you show any company in an article illustration.
Wow 500 people out of work because probably a very few of them couldn't keep things clean.
Sounds like the old facility also couldn’t easily be maintained/cleaned and they decided to shutter it instead of upgrading it.
One wonders just how bad the facility must have been allowed to get for closing it to be cheaper than fixing it.
This is actually a common thing. It's usually cheaper to just scrap everything than replace/fix anything. Whole buildings demolished because "well we could fix this structural issue, but that'll cost a lot of money so we'll just rip down the whole thing.
After a certain point there's so much duct tape and random patches in things it's good to just say forget it and rebuild, particularly if you already own the land to put it on.
They could raze and rebuild it to “clean” the place. If they did this they could re-hire the trained workers, if the workers weren’t responsible for the filth and health violations.
Management is responsible for mismanagement of the plant, but management would rather shut the plant than accept responsibility.
They could, but it probably doesn’t make sense when they can just restructure other lines
