Bad enough that Foxconn could not scrape together 260 hires in Wisconsin for all of 2018, as now the company is saying recruitment is dragging, too:
I will add this unsettling but not surprising development about 'adjusted' recruitment and hired for the Wisconsin project to the Foxconn archive I have maintained on this blog since Day 1.
“While Foxconn remains committed to creating 13,000 jobs in Wisconsin, we have adjusted our recruitment and hiring timeline,” the company said in a statement Friday. “We need to have the agility to adapt to a range of factors, including global economic conditions.”Might there might be adjustments to what the final development was to include?
