Now that we have laid off so many people, mandatory overtime is being implemented.
Another GVL layoff
I’ve heard rumblings of another round of layoffs at Greenville this week. Anyone else hear anything? There’s plenty of middle salary that could be cut to up Chris’s stock portfolio.
C-Suite
Our uppers took Fail.Fast. a little too literal. Someone should call Guinness... this one might set a record.
Immediate loss of benefits FSA/DSA after Layoff
All flexible (medical and dependent) spending accounts cannot be used AFTER separation. Claims can be sent for all services BEFORE 4-11-2024, but not after. All unspent money will be forfeited. This policy seems unfair, especially for employees who... — read more

Halfway Through Year: Any new rumors of layoffs or closings?
just curious...
Has anyone gotten their severance pay yet?
I turned my papers in right away. When I asked about the severance pay I was told in an email that it would be paid after 60 days from the end of the rejection period. I pointed out that the paperwork says within 60 days not after 60 days but I was... — read more

Can the Greenville union be extended to Waco?
Enough is enough.
I joined the organization in 2016 as a bargaining unit employee in Clifton. After getting my degree, I took a position as a supervisor. What happened this past April 11 was a travesty. I was totally blind-sided as representatives from HR along with a... — read more

I want a damn weekend
I'm pulling 55+ hour work weeks after consistently pulling doubles because we're so low staffed. There's more and more overtime slots being opened and no one to cover them, so now I don't want any more doubles because I know I'm not getting my... — read more
Just saw the Q1 email Chris sent out
I mean lol , it looks like we are doing good. But he wants us to do better ..”we are off to a slow start”….. so lay offs next week?
Anything new about layoffs?
The rumor mill is spinning again at Wescam with talks of layoffs next week but nobody has any real information. Has anyone heard anything?
Mega-sites?
With the recent RIFs and closing of some locations, does it look like Harris is going back to their "mega-site" roots, where they have just a handful of very large locations and none of the smaller ones that legacy L3 had as part of it's holding... — read more

Just making stuff up
Damage assessment?
• Are the RIF numbers on a per site basis known? • Have sites been consolidated or closed?
Better severance would have made this much easier
Severance packages have been consistently lowered over the years. In the past, being laid off meant receiving a decent safety net to help you land on your feet. While L3 doesn't offer the worst severance, it's definitely not what it used to be. And I... — read more
Anyone know what the NDA is for
They usaully don't sign nda's for layoffs so anyone know what it's for?
To those laid off and looking for jobs:
If anyone needs some pointers, I recommend checking US DoD website for daily awarded contracts. The awarded companies can be a good start for job hunting. Or take some time off, start a turkey farm, or use some unemployment. Godspeed
Moving Gvl to Waco
Heard here in the West twice today, Melbourne wants to move all Gvl log/pub to Waco. They expect most to retire, so would be plenty of openings in Waco once work is moved. Eventually to sell the Gvl ops and get out of the "mess". That was the talk. — read more
confirmation that the 5% RIF is done
2300+ people were let go in total last week. there are a few stragglers.... but if you are at work today & unaffected, you will likely stay unaffected (for now). No telling if there will be additional cuts after this 5% one.

Iridium gets contract from L3H

Horrible company.
I got laid off in 2018. Best damn thing that ever happened to me. I will never work in the defense industry again. L3 was a horrible experience.
Thoughts on Kubasik and Rambeau's memo regarding the RIF?
Kubasik's memo mentioned that RIF will impact approximately 5% of the company THIS YEAR. So does that mean this week's RIF met that 5%? or there's more this year since we are only in April. Rambeau's memo mention that he was going to meet with his... — read more
