Yes. That makes perfect sense. Wait until late afternoon, just before a holiday weekend. That way 1/2 the people you want to pink slip are on I-15 headed camping. Come on people, if you are going to start rumors just to start rumors, at least think... — read more 

"Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate."

shhhh... they are waiting until this afternoon to cut people. Meetings will be out by 2, then meeting with managers from 2:30-4:30.... cya on the other side!

Yawn. This has become as useful as watching the local weatherman guess if it will rain or not... "Lookout!, here comes hurricane Ivo....or it might be partly cloudy"..I especially love the "live can"....look here's the weather, or you can look out... — read more 

Same old nothing going to happen day.

I don't know.. I was just fanning the flames. Any minute now...

Where is the action? Bldg/area?

And so it begins...

Any knews at eh CSW campus? Anyone see more security or anything?

Uhh, no thanks, Samwell. And no, you can't have my "big fat seed".

OK, everyone sing the what what in the butt song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbGkxcY7YFU I said what what, in the butt? I said what what, in the butt? I said what what, in the butt? I said what what, in the butt? You wanna do it in my butt, in my butt?... — read more 

Two words for anyone getting laid off today: "Stink-palm"... have fun with it.

@Monkey Boy, What is your favorite Lake? and what day of the week do you like to visit that Lake?

1 hour to go, people! This is NOT a drill! Who goes next?

There's still all day for that, Billy Bob.

At least that "What What in the Butt" guy isn't posting that song again.... it makes me sick. Yeah, respectable companies will do more to give their employees a fair warning. Maybe they just figure that the VSOs and earlier layoffs are warning... — read more 

Check the conference room calendars for "meeting", and only one person on the invite list.

Rumor has it that the festivities begin today at 10 AM. Ops this week and engineering next week.

7:35 and nothing yet. Looks like we have to worry another week wondering which of our co-workers (or ourselves) are leaving. It sure would be nice if we heard anything from L-3 saying that there will even be a layoff. I guess they don't respect their... — read more 

But, on the bright side; Hasn't HBRE done a lovely job of touching up the paint and trim on all those WWII vintage areas of Building D? I wonder why they might be doing that?

I'm guessing nothing is happening today, and rumors are true about delaying until next week or later. I wish they would get it over with already so we can focus without the bad environment of rumors and hushed conversations everywhere you go.

All quiet at 5:30 am, no cops, no nothing.. yet?

@just me - Dude. Be careful about naming your sources.

" We trained hard ... but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating... — read more 

I suggest we let everyone go so we can get some fresh skirts before all the money is gone.

Someone said they hired the s.w.a.t team to be on hand tomorrow and hired and extra 7,000 security officers to handle the rowdies. Apparently L3 wanted the National Guard to be on hand with rocket launchers and tanks but they are too busy fighting... — read more 

It would be nice if anyone would agree on Management* or Engineers for the next layoffs... *Term used loosely.

There goes the neighborhood!

According to Mikelle Kostial, straight out of a meeting with her director, 250 engineers are getting canned next week!

Breaking: 200 from engineering tomorrow. More to go next week.

@Yoda, The real Yoda you are not. Talk like him you do not.

Better start grabbing handfuls of pens and mechanical pencils to take home... they are like $8.00 at the store.

Getting laid off? GOOD! I hear they are waiting until tomorrow to time it with bombing Syria.

And then 200 a month later unless orders pick up.

I'm hearing they warned to do it tomorrow, but aren't ready, yet.
