There was no cap date associated with the VSO, HR is feeding you full of s h i t.

Honey Badger don't care! Honey Badger gone find a new job! I like snakes!

At least I don't have to worry about the December layoff now and I can look for a job before the entire company gets sucked into the Vortex. Good luck to the rest of you. You still have all your useless managers.

That sucks on the 10 year deal cutoff. I got cut on my birthday back in April. WooHooo!

I took the VSO. I got 10% (3 wasted years at L-3) plus $3000. Did anyone get the $3000 today??

220 IS 20% of engineering

It appears that 214 individuals are now out of a job. With only 10 days to my 10th anniversary, I got screwed over since they are only going to count me as 9 years putting me at the lowest level separation package. HR says it is the same offering... — read more 

Seriously, what does the severance look like??

Seriously, what does the severance look like??

This was specifically for Engineering... Operations will get another cut in 2 weeks, some HR, and maybe a few managers at that time.

220 seems VERY LOW to me. I kept hearing rumors about 20 to 30 percent reduction in force. Are there going to be more rounds? And what about getting rid of some management morons? Who needs employees when we are being told that EnCompass is working... — read more 

I got a lump of coal...

So, how are everyone's severance packages?

Good NEWS everyone, gather round! You've all been fired! Now you can go to work at the SLURM factory, I hear it's delicious! That is all!

Well, yeah, the upper-management was having their monthly bondage-S/M sex meetings, and we were told to "keep it funny" and lay off 420 people total. You'd get the joke if you were part of the "Circle of Trust".

Thanks for the news article. So, the total number cut =220 today and there were 200 VSO's accepted, so in the last month 420 jobs were lost. Sounds like an inside pot joke from management! Let the pot jokes BEGIN!!

About 231 layoffs. Didn't see any management.

Ahhhh, feels so weird coming home from work so early. Guess it's time for a beer! I'm DANCING on sunshinneeeee, WHOA oh! It's time to feel GOOD! Sing it now!

I'd love to, however I'm sure if my ex-"manager" spotted me he would sick the police on me for trespassing. The stories will slowly start trickling in... I agree those gone are better off, never have I been with a company that abuses good fortune... — read more

Billy Bob, can you go to the parking lot to interview someone laid off and get us numbers? Thanks, man.

DAN JONES EATS DONKEY DICKS FOR BREAKFAST AND DOESN'T SHARE. THAT'S MANAGEMENT FOR YOU. I'm laughing at the ones who are left to wonder. Wonder this, they are USING you until they no longer need you and then you are history. Don't cry when this... — read more 

RUN FOR YOU LIFE, IT'S BARNEY THE BIG PURPLE GAY DINOSAUR!!!! lOOKING TO YOU KNOW WHAT TO YOUR BUTT

Alright, lets hear some numbers...

GOOD! Now you have work to do!

Yep. We were short on people already. With the VSO, the co-ops leaving and the layoff we lost 1/3 of the group.

So walk-outs have begun?

30% of our group..gone...looks like OT for the rest of us.

Sounds like a regular meeting with my manager, creaper. I thought getting probed by your manager was part of the job?

I just walked by the conference room by security at building F. The security guys had a big stack of cases of rubber gloves, and what appeared to be an industrial-sized dispenser of K-Y jelly. I'm not sure what they have planned but it doesn't look... — read more 

In addition to the number laid off, post the severance and how it compares to VSO severance.

What's that? I'm getting laid off today? Honey Badger don't give a shit! "Honey Badger Don't Give a Shit": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nggAj0cxLro Find your inner "honey badger"!

Man I hate it when I'm right sometimes. :( Make sure to get all your crap and take it to your car on break or so, else if you get canned then they will box ALL that crap up and you'll have to pick it up at the warehouse building on Monday.

If you are an early layoff this morning, get the number of the total layoffs and post it here.

Guards are circling like vultures. Hell, head of security is just down the corridor.
