@Insider you suck. You, as most (but not all managers) don't know what real "performers" as you call them are. WAY too many people have been cut due to crap "managers" that under-rated them in anticipation of this. They knew what was coming from last... — read more 

No extra weeks pay. Departments are choosing departure. Some as early as the 19th and others as late as the 29th. There are difficult times ahead but we will be a smaller more efficient team. It is a simple solution to less work. Weed out poor... — read more 

You might get extra weeks pay for leaving on the 19th we did in our area

Not true happy. I didn't ask to be out on the 19th, but it is better to move on than sitting around. No hard feelings L-3 leftovers. Good luck and godspeed.

The date is the 29th unless you ask to leave earlier. Those who don't leave with the VLO will probably not get severance or the 3000 they gave me, good luck blood suckers. suck up all the overtime you can while you can cuz this shit ain't going on... — read more

Probably depends on your job coverage... they need replacement monkeys to be able to hit the button every 2 hours.

I just heard that my term date is 8/19. Are all of us that accepted VRIF out of here Monday??

Hey you don't say that!!

Obama care is a crock of shit I took the vso and allready have a new job with benifits your the dumb ass for staying

All of you who rail against Obamacare will be thankful for it after you get laid off and can't find a job with health care benefits.

Indeed, find all that and more @ MACROAXIS.COM

Strianese wasn't the only insiders selling in the last few weeks. Your very own Susan Opp exercised her options and sold $millions in L-3 stock.

Corp hogs might be able to hack & slash their way through Q3 but in Q4 they will oddly enough need actual revenue!

So where do all of you guys watch your streaming videos at work nowadays?

Yeah, so the CEO sells over 8 MILLION dollars of his stock in his own company. That's how you make money...

Here's a link showing Michael Strianese selling some of his LLL stock at 92.13 a share: http://www.watchlistnews.com/2013/08/01/l-3-communications-holdings-ceo-unloads-8373946-95-in-stock-lll/ Read the article and make your best guess.

....hello?!? Is there any money coming in? Last time I checked that was sort of a key component. Q3 might be powder-puffed to somehow appear halfway decent through cost (employee) cutting but Q4 will be difficult at best.

Damn... so my son tells me he wants a "chameleon DRAGON" from the dragon store... I'm like, uhhh, maybe I can get you a chameleon, but there are no chameleon dragons. He insists. Now what?

So.... anyone know for reals which MANAGERS are getting axed?

Some good stuff to watch while "working": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQQCh0uaGBc It's a "Fail Army" compilation... the first few pranks I'm surprised the guy wasn't killed.... but it's funny.

I fail to see why not, it's a perfectly cromulent word!

That's funny.. I never heard the word "imbiggens" until I moved to Utah and got a job at CSW.

Don't worry, guys: A BOLD spirit IMBIGGENS the smallest man!

Next thing you know, all the prostitutes will be out, doing their little "be-hind" dance for the men folk! 20 bucks to pay the rent? NO? Oh, that's RIGHT, you gave it to the PROSTITUTES! I like this idea.... And oh yeah, "Manger Insider" that's why... — read more

If you accepted the VRIF on 7/22 and your termination date is 8/29, then L-3 wasted 6 weeks paying someone after they quit in addition to the severance. This company cannot be beat when it comes to wasting money to save money (SAP).

Just saying most managers have been told to except everyone no matter who... it doesn't mean you were going to get axed

My list of best video to stream during SAP slow down: Justified Walking Dead Sons of Anarchy

BB, I'm too embarrassed to spell out STNG out for you and since you work at L-3 you are expected to know all acronyms. Here's a clue: the main character is a bald turd named Capt Pickard.

I heard they are holding onto the VRIF/VSO people until the same day there will be involuntary separations. Having volunteers makes the whole messy job easier on HR... basically, if they accepted your VSO application then you were on the list to be... — read more
