@ Cat: It's a hole, back into the past, where we didn't hire 60 people a month. A hole, where you can step back and see what normal life was like back 5 years ago!

What the hell IS it???!!! Tell me the TRUTH!

Ok, Cat, it's a singularity, a point in the universe where the normal laws of space and time don't apply. Or hire-at-will states's laws against just canning those the company set-up for failure on a massive, human-level event!

@Professor: Do Fry and Leeyla like Board games? I like Candy Land. So sad you wont be able to join in on all the fun. I think I will wear my best kilt for the occasion.

What IS it????

he stasis room freezes time, you know, makes time stand still. So whenever you have massive overhead, it must preserve whatever it's leaked into, and it's leaked into this mass layoff.

What is it??? What IS this??

Thanks Ding Dong I feel much better now.

So there we go, gang! Let's go on!

@ Shocked: It will end when the red numbers turn green. They are all still red, for the most part. They needed at LEAST 20% RIF, so far they have around 12%. And its getting bigger... But don't worry, another round of cuts is coming 2 weeks from... — read more 

@ Toad: Good NEWS, Toad! I can't make your 6:00 A.M. meeting, I am meeting with M.O.M. at the time. I will send my servants Fry and Leeyla in my stead. Good day sir! Now get back to work!!

When will this end? So sorry about everyone who has lost their jobs. Hope you all find something better. I am starting to fear Thursdays altogether.

@Skunky: and please call me "Butt Pirate" if you must shorten my name; Pirate Captain seems too pretentious, thanks! ;)

That is true, Skunky. You've done your research, I see. However, even here in a "at-will hiring" state, the policy was "recommended" to be followed. We see it is not. L-3 CSW and probably all divisions DELETED (with no replacement) the policies Y-051... — read more 

Professor Farnsworth; I expect you in my cubicle at 6:00 sharp tomorrow morning. Let's get it on.

to 3zxc; I wonder how much time Ops spent on top on that expensive romantic getaway? Bet she wishes she was still on top now? Way to "position" yourself VVVVAl!

Good NEWS Toad, SkyNet knows you are. Now you are fired! That is all, night night!

I should have been let go a long time ago but I am safe because I made my secret handshake with the secret society of BAMS. I love the fact that I promoted SAP harder than anyone else and it will be the very thing to bring the entire company to its... — read more 

It's not over... Ops cuts 200+, HR and some management, coming in 2 weeks from today! Be prepared!

Here's a case where L-3 screwed up, laying off more than 33% of the workforce without notice due to W.A.R.N, and the company is getting sued (ironically, they just want the 60 days pay promised for failure to let them know, my severance here was... — read more 

Wow... I don't know about you guys, but this erupting battle between Ceiling CAT and Basement CAT is making me more nervous than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs! Even Syria crisis pales in comparison!

Damn Chinese keyboards... "FOUL", not "foWl"!! Go pluck yourself, Chicken for making me retype my message!! And bring some hot sauce and butter, I've got a job for you!

Dammit, Devil Chicken, Ceiling CAT said "fowl" not "FOWL"! You damn illiterate chicken, I told you to do my work and don't try to understand what I have planned. You can't even focus on the words with both eyes at once! Damn chicken, get back to work... — read more 

Uhhh, Basement CAT? You told me I was "Most Fowl"! How can you be most fowl and me most fowl at same time? And, you said I was going to "roast", am I still going to be the roast chicken?? I want a raise!

@ Basement CAT: You are MOST UNCLEAN! You will be "fired" one day... I look forward to that day, and shall amass my army to ensure it happens! All those who follow Ceiling CAT will be helping, and we shall avenge those who can't avenge themselves!... — read more 

Not so fast, Ceiling CAT! They know what they do, because I TELL them to! I am the source of all dumb-ass, as you call it, management. They are doing my work, for ME.

Everyone will be ok.. those who remain, will have more work. Those who go, will have some stuff on their resume', and a new potential, a new ADVENTURE, if you will. Love everyone, and forgive your dumb-ass manager, they know not what they do.

I don't like the idea of a December layoff. As it is, total force reduction remains below the recommended 15-20%, barring increased sale orders. We still need to drop another 8-12% to be fully leaned out for this year. Next payday's operations cut... — read more 

Uhhh, Devil Chicken, have you been there? We still won't you to join but again, first rule about executive orgies on piles of cash: there ARE no executive orgies on piles of cash!

I'm sure that trip was business related. It's not like they flew 1st class from South Korea for a grand total of $10,000.00 per person, or flew to anywhere in Europe for 1 day, again first class, or built a secret sex-dungeon party room in the new... — read more 

ask about Opps and Snyder’s paid romantic vacation to a romantic foreign coastline 2 years ago? On CS-W's dime

Why is that we hear information from the news long before we hear it from the company itself? Come on L3! Stop being retarded about communication. Isn't that what you do?

Well, yeah, if you knew the company was going down you'd sell your stock too. Nothing illegal there, that page exists so investors can see what major share-holders are doing, sitting on it, buying or selling. That said, I see they didn't send any... — read more

Ironic L3 must maintain a leading employer number in the top ten to qualify for some of it's tax breaks. So what now they are vast dropping in rating of Utah's top Employers. Dropped from 4th to 6th largest with this layoff.
