I hope we can still play Angry Birds with our new masters...

Layoffs as planned last year. Once the herd is as thins as possible, then we will sell to prospective breeder. Do you humans not ever cross-breed your livestock for optimum weight??? This is why you FAIL!!!!!... — read more 

Is the sale supposed to happen concurrent with the rumored March layoffs?

I hope the new management is tolerant of my personal lifestyle choices. ;)

I heard the same thing - I share your views on the bastards

That's the best rumor I've heard yet in all my years here! Corporate is probably tired of the crap management at CSW and the chain of fools in command; along with the market shrinking they will sell now to wash their hands and cash out, invest the... — read more 

I left L3 shortly after my manager admitted in a team meeting that he didn't understand what we did as a group, so to fill his day he went to meetings, read email, (or played on the internet). Good luck friends still down there, so many piss poor... — read more 

These surveys they took were for their own benefits. They did not use them to identify troubled, POS management skills. They used these to determine employee morale, and probably used them to help filter out and determine which employees needed to... — read more 

I hear that HR is holding retention teams. If so then why isn't HR looking over the engagement survey that was taken a few years ago? Yes the one that rated our MANAGEMENT here at CSW! Start by getting rid of THE WORST rated managers in the plant... — read more 

Has anyone heard if the potential layoffs will be like the previous ones where they offered early retirement, voluntary, and then involuntary?

150-200, spread out over Engineering and Operations. Get your resume's ready!!

any news?

Yeah, CSW had a sea of people with fridges etc.. then as layoffs came they asked everyone to take them home. It makes life easier for security later who have to inventory everything and move it to storage so the people layed off can collect their... — read more 

Yes, the March layoffs are a real "rumor", in fact the brilliant "management" of CSW was talking a few months ago of 30 people being canned in the field and engineering layoffs coming this Spring!!!! Seriously psychotic folks "running" the place. The... — read more 

who the heck would bring personal fridges and microwaves to their cubes? You should never bring too many personal belongings to the workplace. It's at-will employment. You can walk or be let go anytime!

Did they tell you "everything is fine" and then ask everyone to remove their personal fridges and microwaves from their cubes? If so, then you're about a month from a mass layoff.

anybody has info?

All day today and yesterday people have been walked out due to layoffs. Est. 300 people will be let go this week.

any news on this?

Great job moving out of the second floor so we could rent it out to the new tenant... now we just need to find a tenant. Where is that tenant, anyway? Bueller? Bueller?

...and unaccountability practices firmly in place. Good Times, enjoy the ride, er, swirl!

It's in the BAG, baby! They just need time sort out who's getting what meager contracts to work, then the axe is coming again. In layoff terms, it's like Samwell said "All I want is your big fat seed!" except now they have the seed and need to plant... — read more 

Ummm..let see. Sequestration is cutting $50 billion out of the budget each year so that means fewer contracts and management was never cleaned out so the same bozos are still making the same dumb mistakes that led to the layoffs in the first place... — read more 

So...are we clear of layoffs for the next little bit or is the rumor of layoffs in march still going around?

Which happens first ? Micha getting us down to 500 employees or George Norcross closing the plant to make way for his Mega Medical Surgery Campus...gotta keep jersyians on this side of the bridge to get that $1 billion in hip and knee surgeries. Hey... — read more 

I guess 2013 was a pretty good year for CS-East, they weren't even cranking the factory double shifts to maximize year-end sales. But on January 1st, the ledger is wiped clean, and we start all over. We'll see what happens.

Summed it up nicely. Don't worry John I have a resume's out there so maybe you can have my cube when I'm gone.

I will be graduating in June and there is a possibility for me to get a job at L3 IE. I wanted to see if some of you can give me an advice or opinion regarding this. Thank you in advance!

do you guys have any info on this - i think they may be hit in 2014 but wanted to check if someone had 2013 info. i'd appreciate any response.

How do I reach them?

The RIF was the best thing that ever happened to me! I just didn't realize what an absolutely awful place L-3 is to work. I now have competent, professional managers and a challenging but fun career and I'm make more $$$$. So don't fret about the... — read more
