Put in my two weeks it feels good! In a short while I was able to make the best of it but couldn’t keep up with the constant process redundancies and incessant status updates, it made it impossible to get anything done. I hope they do fix that... — read more
Work from home
If anyone has noticed the thousands of people moving to Florida our housing market has exploded. Rent has doubled in many areas due to demand and lack of availability. Many people who had office jobs before the virus realized they could work from... — read more
Why did our leave?
Our former CFO is suddenly CFO at LM? When why how did this happen?
Leaving at any cost
This is now the second colleague who left this place and accepted a job where he is paid less than he was here. What can I say!? People seem to be in a hurry to leave this place as soon as possible.
Earnings report on Monday
What can we expect?
EODAS program shutdown!!
The EODAS production and R&O lines in Mason have been shutdown. After years of technicians and support engineers reports of problems falling on deaf ears - it finally came out that EVERY UNIT produced since 2019 has an out of specification displacer... — read more
Mason drops Dir. of Engineering
The Director of Manufacturing/Engineering at Mason is leaving Feb 2nd. Add this to the growing list of Director and Director+ positions which have vacated over the last 3 months - plus the entire on site HR team resigning together last fall. The... — read more
Reorg email just dropped
7am email to all employees from Kubasik announcing reorg details to drop later today. Who is getting shut down? Why the move from 4 segments to 3?
Anyone know when job postings will open up again at L3Harris (recent engineering grad, ideally in waco)?
Title. Went to a L3 hiring event but they weren't hiring for engineering at the time (unlike the ad for the hiriing event said .....). But they did say roles would open after new year. Any idea? (looking for manufacturing/industrial egnienering type... — read more
Getting Poorer Every Year
So CPI is 6.something percent, real inflation is around 18.something percent. L3H is probably giving out the usual 0-3.something percent raise. Bottom line: Stay at L3H and get poorer. L3H doesn't give a sh$%.
I'm disappointed
I know that some things are out of control and that management cannot influence some circumstances. Still, I think they could have prevented or slowed down the downfall of this company, if only they really wanted to?
You'll be lucky to be laid off
Leaving L3 with severance certainly beats staying in this mess. Management only cares for themselves and how they can put more money in their own pockets. They don't listen to their employees' concerns and even if they did, they wouldn't give a damn... — read more
Prepare for cuts
Start-of-the-year cuts are nothing new at L3, I don't see why this year would be any different.
Vax Mandate Still On?
A federal judge set an injunction on the vax mandate for federal contractors nationwide. That doesn't mean employers can't choose to keep policies in place that require it though. L3H hasn't commented on it yet. Any insight on whether the Jan 4... — read more
Thanks for the reminders!
I love to visit this page every now and then to pat myself on the back knowing I made the right decision to leave for greener pastures. Northrup is always hiring people and it's night and day how you are treated and paid. It's astonishing l3 is still... — read more
Where did the "Santa List" go???
A little ridiculous that a list of facts was removed from this forum.
Santa's HR List...

There is more work than there are people to do it
It's become a real challenge to get all the work done. What will L3 do about it? Chances are that they will do nothing but allow even more smart people to leave.
Setting unachievable targets
Maybe it has to to do with me because I have less and less motivation and therefore I might be underachieving, but in addition to that, I also have to say that this company is constantly setting unrealistic goals. What do you think?
How to succeed at L3
Don't bother and try to work hard. What you need to do is praise your manager every day, make sure to tell him that his every idea is fantastic, gossip about the rest of your coworkers (but make sure to skip his favorites!), and other brownnosing... — read more
Consequences of attrition
Ever since I started working here, I have been overwhelmed with work. Due to the attrition, I am so overwhelmed that it is unbearable and I want to leave. I wonder how attrition affects others?
Revenge is a dish best served cold, right?
You are what you eat. Maybe my former supervisor (now promoted despite serious incompetence) and her ever-lazy Director minion (oh, wait... she just got demoted) will never see this post. I really don't care. It's such sweet revenge to know that... — read more
Permanent stay on bidens mandate.
Who's getting ready to sue for lost wages?
They don’t care, but customers do
Maybe they will start to care more about the best employees leaving when the customers start leaving as well?
L3 Layoffs 2022
What's your prediction as it relates to the possiblity of L3 layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Give me some good news, please
I'm so tired of getting bad work-related news, I'd pay good money for some good news for a change. Enough with layoffs, benefit cuts, mandates, and stuff like that. I'd take anything positive: news of bonuses, raises, better benefits, hiring more... — read more
Return to Facilities
Return to facilities email went out, waiting on local guidance. If full time work from home is no longer permitted, all those with accommodations will have to test weekly. Even if they only have to come in one day a week. And the Jan 4... — read more
Dec 8th or Jan 4th??
Does anyone know if the last day to be vaccinated will be moved to Jan 4th or will they just stick with Dec 8th? Also, for those not complying (true non-compliance - getting an accommodation is still compliance), are you letting your supervisor know... — read more
Advice
I feel sorry for all those who are considering getting a job here, as well as those who think they can’t get a better opportunity and stay here because of that. If I had left on time, I could have achieved much more by now. Since I’m leaving soon... — read more
Face mask police
HR is walking around looking for people not wearing face masks and writing them up in Melbourne and Palm Bay.
Hiring freeze
So no hiring until the end of the year. Emails came out on Tuesday. Saying it is related to reduced revenue from recent divestitures. Doesn't make sense. Hearing colleagues in Mission Networks are getting 'asked' to do mandatory over time. ... — read more
Another reason to leave-2022 Holiday calendar
2022 holiday calendar is out and more Christmas time has been taken from you. Not sure how they plan to recruit against the competition when they take the perks away!
Layoffs 2021
Any news?
Requests for accommodation
If anyone on here submits a request for accommodation, we'd all love to know the response, circumstances, etc. Whether it gets approved or denied.
Is this starting to spiral out of control?
I thought a lot of people would leave because of the mandate, but I honestly thought that number would be much smaller. More people are leaving than I thought. I just can’t believe how many people leave here every week. This is awful. Even if the... — read more
Leaving job early in tenure
I'm thinking about whether to leave or stay. I got an offer that wouldn't bring me much higher pay or much better benefits, but I could learn a lot of new things there. It seems to me that I have somehow started to stagnate here and I wonder if... — read more
What did it take?
I try to do as much as I can to proactively develop new skills - especially outside of work. I’ve met the personal goals I’ve developed while trying not to let the work environment hold me back. I enjoy the work, I do, but I’m at a point now where I... — read more
Mandates
They've been awfully quiet on the jab mandate requiremenets and how they will affect employees (deadline, exemptions, who can test out, union bargaining, etc). I would think we would need our first shot by mid-October to be compliant in time. Anyone... — read more
Sold!
Narda Miteq in Hauppauge has been sold off. Now what?
Raises
over time, L3Harris will lose the most productive employees due to well-below earned annual pay raises. Great producing employee 3.2% Slacker 1.9% It's a shame. Final result...60+ yr old sub-par employee base waiting for 65.
