f5-10k / Qwen3.6-27B-Q8_0		Mexico Exit and Strategic Realignment; Domestic segment charges incurred in FY2023 were immaterial/zero per table, but FY2022 table shows $4M charge in FY2022. Wait, looking at FY2023 column in Note 3 table: Domestic is blank/zero for Mexico Exit. The $140M and $5M are for Resource Optimization. The Mexico Exit row shows $2M total in FY2023 (International). Let's re-read Note 3 carefully. Table 'Restructuring charges': Row 'Mexico Exit and Strategic Realignment': 2023 Total is $2M. Breakdown table for Mexico Exit (FY2023 column is not explicitly broken out by geo in the second table, but the first table says Total $2M. The text says 'No material restructuring accrual activity occurred in fiscal 2023 related to the exit from Mexico'. However, the first table lists $2M under Mexico Exit for 2023. Let's look at the breakdown table 'Statement of Earnings Location'. It only has columns for 2022 and 2021. Actually, looking at the first table 'Restructuring charges': 2023 Column: - Fiscal 2023 Resource Optimization Initiative: $145M (Domestic $140M, Int $5M per text below) - Mexico Exit and Strategic Realignment: $2M Text below says: 'Charges incurred relate to employee termination benefits within our Domestic and International segments of $140 million and $5 million, respectively.' This sums to $145M. Where does the $2M Mexico Exit come from? The text says 'No material restructuring accrual activity occurred in fiscal 2023 related to the exit from Mexico'. It might be non-cash or adjustment. The prompt asks for workforce actions. If no employees are affected or it's immaterial/non-employee, it might not be a workforce action. The $145M is clearly employee termination benefits. The $2M is likely other costs or adjustments. I will exclude the $2M Mexico Exit from workforce actions as it is not described as affecting employees in FY2023 and is labeled 'no material restructuring accrual activity'. So only the Resource Optimization Initiative is a workforce action.
