Fred - You are obviously as sharp as your namesake. The numbers I quoted were for the ISR segment. I don't have them for CSW. Regardless, the conclusion is the same. The last bloat train has left the station. Time to refit for lean and mean or be... — read more 

1 in 5 everywhere but probably 2.5 in 5 for operations sadly best guess

Nonny Moose, you masticated meadow muffin, you cited numbers for all of L3 while this site focuses on CSW. The numbers for CSW are very different. I award you an F.

Numbers? Orders for currently produced product is down by 20%. Those whose jobs revolve around these products - such as yourself - should expect at least a 20% reduction in force. Have a good day!

Does anyone know the lay off numbers of each group? I just want to know how worried I should be

Reading the comments here reminds me of the parable of the Blind Men and the Elephant. You each "feel" but one part of the elephant that is L-3 and fail to see the whole of it.

I agree, Succubii. Why did ANYONE in management think ti was a good idea to create more levels of "management" to micromanage everyone actually performing work? Here's an example: Worker A has to stop to talk to Team Lead 1 or 2 (who can charge up to... — read more 

Yeah, and maybe people should stop writing 30 minute to 45 minute compilation "passdowns" to let 130 people OUTSIDE of their department that they are working on a job code, and yes, they did some work. It all ends up as fluff in the end, a waste of... — read more 

I have lived through the dark days of the merger of Sperry Corp. with Burroughs Corp. aka the beginning of Unisys, and those are the last layoffs I have seen since that settled down. Then the company started adding people without regard to whether or... — read more 

Vso will prob be floated to stockholders as "attrition and other cost-cutting measures" in q3 so why help these "folks" save face? Make them pull the trigger.

Maybe the guys from Texas will come here and cut the deadweight. Probably our best hope.

We'll see soon enough if all this is performance based or personal biased?

We might have bikes and a "campus" but if you want to be innovative or be known for working smarter you are at the wrong place in the wrong industry. Best Wishes All.

Enough with your silly ideas -- just shut up and quit asking questions. Keep your head down, nothing to see here, everything is fine and we have it all completely under control.

@Mrs. S.: I kinda like YOUR idea!

Good grief, ONCE during the war I visit a prostitute and my life's been a living HELL ever since!!

Next will come the WHORES!! Shakin their little behind dance for the men folk! 20 dollars for the rent? No? Oh, you gave it to the WHORES!

They really screwed the pooch on this one! Good things to note and avoid in your next jobs.

Unless your last is Deneris -- did anyone else notice the new hire that never hit the bulletin? Anyway, product prices will be rising and that wont help either....

What the article confirms is that sales for the second quarter were up 2%, but profits were down - in other words, the costs of running the business are high. Call it bloat, blame it on inefficiency, too many managers, employees not working hard... — read more

Why are there so many management levels at CSW? There has to be about 5 or 6 layers in each organization.

Managers are getting resumes ready. Directors are out the door. Planners and opms will be hardest hit. About 30 people have already taken the volunteer separation package. More people thinking about it, specially the old timers.

@Anonymous: They were holding what looked to be chainsaws and loppers. That's what they need to saw my log, and the loppers to lop off the arteries and veins, and use a LOT of heat to sear the ends shut. Damn femi-nazis, you gotta make sure they... — read more 

@Apalled, are the femi-nazis holding tweezers and a magnifying glass when they come at you? Then they aren't attacking your manhood.

Cool. Homeless shelter is a good fit for CSW when it's soon a ghost town!

first layoffs, now femi-nazis are attacking our manhood. See "Women's Groups Go On Attack On Weiner" on the Google news and you'll be apalled too! Save our weiners!

Valjean Snyder took the relocation package. Our Navy contracts are running 6-7 years of work. they won't be moved. Lockheed is moving in here in Sept. good fit.

Has anyone @ CSE been offered relocation to CSW in lieu of severence or otherwise?

Keep working and collecting a paycheck. AND look for a job. I doubt UI will pay out if you voluntarily leave. The package for the voluntary separation is, from what I have been able to gather, IDENTICAL to the involuntary package. The only way... — read more

Great for CSE... that's awesome! CSW gets a foot in the ass plus the option to continue medical coverage via COBRA for about $900.00 a month and up.

CSW's "union" will get us bent over a barrel....if we are lucky!
