Keep the updates coming tomorrow. Good luck to all of us.

excuse me but I just wanted to mention that upper management has never really done anything. How can we be causing anyone stress? You little insignificant brats are causing your own stress. Every Wednesday the rumor mill runs rampant about tomorrow... — read more 

I noticed on the outlook calendar all the all-hands meetings for tomorrow afternoon, but only the organizer was on the list. I'm guessing they're just reserving the meeting then sending the mtg invites to everyone tomorrow morning.

I just checked my Blackberry and I have no all hands meetings emails. So is this just BS or does it mean I am safe? LOL like anyone is safe. I do not think that upper management has any idea the stress they are putting on all employees. I think about... — read more 

Listen up. no one is getting laid off tomorrow. We found some raw materials in the Metal fab shed and have a buyer lined up to give us fifty cents on the dollar. It really does not belong to us anyways so the sell off will be pure profit. This will... — read more

Is this all hands meeting at CSEast or West?

And .. add to the list of all-hands meetings - the group formerly known as 9011

Bingo!!!! I Could not have said it any better!!!!

Uhh, Margeret? If that's you from the 4077th M.A.S.H., I would say you need to do LESS "bust exercises". They are almost too big already. Keep em natural, thanks!

Either way you look at it, it's brown shorts time!

SkyNet informed me that "All-Hands" meeting is code word for "layoff time". This time, we are doing people in batches... if your name is called out at the meeting, you and others will be asked to stay behind for a group de-briefing by SkyNet and it's... — read more 

It looks like there are some all-hands meetings scheduled for tomorrow - RF group, Woodbury's group.. not sure of the significance.

Lay me off or, if you keep me, have me work overtime. This whole please work overtime even though you might not have a job tomorrow is ridiculous. It's hard to motivate yourself when you know you might be dropping all of your projects tomorrow. I... — read more

It is truly amazing to me that with all of the craziness and uncertainty at L3, along with their new management, Encompass and the likes, that a corporation of this size is clueless when it comes to efficiency and effectiveness. Susan out, Val in. So... — read more 

EnCompass has EnCircled the globe and drained all the coffers. That is the reason for the HUGE yard sale before the first frost. So take your personal stuff home before they add it into the inventory.

Lots of meetings today..... getting ready to finalize.. sharpening the axe a bit. The list is ready.. by this point checks were printed. If I were me I would take some of my personal shit home today.

I have heard that the company has gone bankrupt and will be having a HUGE going out of business blow-out sale.

Fake an injury, get on light duty and they can't let you go until you fully recover. Make sure you never fully recover.

to Anon; no layoffs this Thursday unless you are an engineer or a really great manager. Smart people are a threat and must be eliminated.

Is this site supposed to be helpful? I just want to be prepared for the legitimate layoffs as they happen. Is this Thursday safe or should I pack my stuff on Wednesday just in case?

My manager said I would not get laid off if I called his blackberry and talked naughty. My manager is the best and I think he looks real catty in a smock. He told me that some of you less attractives are going to get his boot up your butt this... — read more

Well the managers are both Mormon and non-Mormon. No way to control that, it goes back to personal character. If they fire the right "managers", though other terms come to mind, it could actually HELP morale. We will see. If they don't can a few of... — read more
