The entire article just works off a glassdoor reviews and seems to assume these individuals also know how to run ops at said place. Not much different than any place really. I even tell my guys, sure I may have opinions, but one has to understand those opionions are formed from a specific point of view and information set. And those making the decisions we are levying criticism on are likely working of entirely different points of view and information sets.
Its a confirmation bias thing common with low level guys. It happens in the military too. For example it was a major takeway for me when watching Generation Kill. Like this interview the reporter has with the point he has to make at 1:50 int he video
Fab plants like this usually run 3 shifts, thats 24/7 production right there. So you can still do 5x8's and run a plant 24/7. My father in law literally ran ops for a few places doing printed circuit board fab before it was all sent offshore. Most of what made him valuable was logistics and managing shifts/workers/on call and ops process to ensure it ran smoothly. Not everyone can do it and many that THINK they can would flounder when put in the hotseat. Similar when people ascend to Director or Executive roles.
