    Executives at a manufacturing company I formerly worked for hashed out 10 year plan due to COVID.

    Step 1 get out of China asap. By going to Malaysia or Vietnam.

    Step 2 start working on a presence in West Africa to be setting up shop by 2028. That will help avoid wage growth that likely happens in Malaysia and Vietnam.

    I was asked to help lead pieces of that transition to Malaysia. Was so icky. They talked about “labor” like the proposed employees weren’t even people. Just tools to utilize.
