Present business conditions at CSW are due to inefficiencies, sequestration, a corporate goal of increasing profit by 10%, Encompass, and operations in Afghanistan winding down. Inefficiencies and the 10% goal demand a 10% reduction in force. This... — read more 

I'm so confused...does the furlough mean that our VolSeps are void?

Lots of trouble in the mix. Furloughs seem to be replacing severance packages. This company is sinking to unexpected lows. Watch out and try to find a different job.....and soon.

Very Sad when I read through all the unrelated comments on this site and it confirms that through the nepotism and favoritism trends of hiring, L3 is made up mostly of morons. I have been with L3 for many years and can see that the downfall of the... — read more

Roger is that true what you just wrote that employees are to not come into work on Monday? or just rumors? Today I saw about 40 employees and one HR person try to squezze into antelope island at 3 PM and I have wondered what that was about.

I have just spent the last 10 minutes reading all the comments and I am in shock. I can only guess that for most of you this might be a first job? I am age 60 and have worked at a few other places and by far L3 has been the best I have worked for. It... — read more 

At 12:30pm a bunch of team leads in ops got invites to CCC1 for an "All Hands Meeting" at 1pm today (Thurs, 8/15/13). After the meeting, it sounds like those team leads went out to inform a bunch of their employees that they were being furloughed. I... — read more

I am not sure who to blame for L3's issues now. The sequestration caused by the GOP or the fact that our factory is shut down due to SAP and team center?

None of my comments are showing up so this is a test.

Today I stopped by the courtyard to say good bye to many great friends that are leaving. I am angry but not sure who to be angry at? The sequestration that is causing the cut in military spending or this new Emcompass that have brougt operation to... — read more 

Operations is already furloughing people due to SAP.

Tell us how your job goes everyday at CSE/CSW. I was thinking of applying to get a job at L3.

It sure is great how much better SAP made our lives!

If I didn't know better, I'd say you all sound like a bunch of regular JACK-asses, boy! You gotta get off your ass and work.. if it sucks here get somewhere else, that's all there is to it! And try to be ready for the collapse of the US economy... — read more 

Good NEWS, everyone, gather round! Some of you are done working tomorrow... the rest of you will die in the salt mines. That is all, now back to work!

Sounds like some of your manager's are "good ol boys"! In which case, they do have a theme song: Just the good ol' boys, Never meanin' no harm, Beats all you've ever saw, been in trouble with the law since the day they was born. Straight'nin' the... — read more

yeah, what were the reasons given for VSO rejections? doesn't matter, I'm waiting for the cull and if I'm not selected I'll be giving my two-weeks notice shortly after. I just can't stand the corruption and nepotism here. And you can't take any... — read more 

I've heard a lot of the VSO were rejected. What was the reason given? Just curious.

"The Truth" is WAY off. VSO was front-end incentive for house-cleaning which is coming SOON and there are no guarantee(s) of any subsequent severance, higher or lower in dollar value. Wake up, company never stated of remotely implied ANYTHING to the... — read more 

Screw all this. My VSO was rejected, but I've been looking for a new job anyway. Assuming I'm still here after the "cull" I will still be leaving. can't trust anyone here and it makes doing my job hell! Good luck to everyone that stays...

Do you guys have any idea whats so ever why the VSO acceptance was so low? Well i will tell you. The reason it was so low is because managers told individuals under them "not to worry about it their job isn't on the layoff list". I have spoken to... — read more
