kidblast Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Employees have been asked to relocate. "asked" is an interesting word! when it comes down to it, you either go, or you don't. at least it's in the same state... we've had relocation offers that have been in different countries...

merciful-evans Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 At 212 miles its hardly commuting distance. Very difficult for those in Memphis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01GT eibach Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 At 212 miles its hardly commuting distance. Very difficult for those in Memphis. Move to Nashville? Or find a new job? Tough decisions. Many of us have been there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 The reason I posted this was primarily to discuss what this move means to the Gibson Guitars business model. Do they plan to produce fewer and charge more?... move some production off shore?... reduce product line?... drop hollow bodies?... expand capacity in Nashville?
