Postemployment Benefits [Abstract] |
Employee Termination, Asset Impairment and Other | Employee Termination, Asset Impairment and Other Business Realignment The Company periodically incurs charges to realign its operations with anticipated market demand, primarily consisting of organization rationalization designed to streamline its business, reduce its cost structure, and focus its resources. The Company may also record credits related to gains upon sale of property in connection with these activities. In this regard, for the six months ended December 29, 2023, the Company reassessed existing capacity development plans and made a decision to cancel certain projects, including projects to expand capacity in its Penang, Malaysia facility, resulting in the impairment of existing construction in progress, other assets and the recognition of a liability for certain contract termination costs. The Company also took actions to reduce the amount of capital invested in facilities, including the sale-leaseback of its facility in Milpitas, California in September 2023 as discussed in Note 10, Leases and Other Commitments. The Company recorded the following net charges related to these actions for the periods presented:
