Bluecoat, the Mormon comment is off. The opposite is actually true. Susan and her staff are almost all non Mormons. There might be only 1 or 2 that are.

I love the rogue comments that try and bolster esteem - if the company is so broke then why build another building or 2? The executive chef isnt a 6 figure employee either, he is just another layer of management brought in to control some more stuff... — read more 

A layoff is never a fun thing so I certainly understand the emotions being presented here. But everyone should put this into its proper perspective. CSW has not had a layoff.... in many... many years. CSW has grown something like 15% a year for more... — read more 

When making the tough decisions who stays and who gets booted out the door I wonder if the poor performing managers are let loose. There is a lot of management baggage at L3 CSW. Camille Guth, Roger Su, Steve Eiting, Marquette, Parissa Aghdase, and... — read more 

@NINJA, The antenna that was ruined was a Hawklink not GH..

You guys should scroll wayyy down and read the "what what, in the butt?" lyrics or watch the video.

But they want to see how many people jump ship first, if not enough then we'll see the cops back, rolling out the brown carpet to the unlucky ones.

This is a very interesting read. Some people are obviously talking out of their ass but on the other side people have some obvious connects, so thanks to those people. This guy was safe from the first round but ya never know whats going to happen... — read more 

Round 2,my best guess, end of June, right before the Encompa$$ black-out.

How did they damage a satellite? Do you mean a satellite dish?

@anonymous most people didn't know that Susan was even married, and her hubby's checks get directly signed by her, but hope corporate reads these threads, and chain of command is a joke, and allegedly those of us who got let go of were not sleeping... — read more 

When are rounds 2 and 3 slated to begin?

Stock is up about 2 bucks from yesterday....

Hey Encompass, if you're so smart why does the company have to hire Indians from India to do your work? What do you do all day...eat and get fat?

those traveling on "business" to make sales (BD) should also get canned. Where are the sales, business travelers? I would like to have a business dinner with you and submit a reimbursement.

I blame the directors and up, including susan.opp. Her husband evan.deneris reports to her. She is violating the policy that states that there has to be at least two levels of management between family members and family members cannot report to... — read more 

Your tuition reimbursement will be forgiven as part of severance.

Love the slanted news. L-3 was in trouble before the sequester. Certain programs couldn't get good product out the door, cost millions. encompass totally botched.

What about Greenville, Texas, Waco, Texas, and Lexington, Kentucky?

CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND A LAWYER?

I'll probably be cut in the next wave - what about my tuition reimbursement?

@ Penny - I am at home. I'm in my spot.

I asked some of the other people to do it, actually. I'm not so sure it wouldn't violate my sep agreement.. don't want to lose that. I'm signing today and mailing to Pat Muir per stipulation. The bosses picked names of who they wouldn't mind losing... — read more 

@ Sheldon, Go Home!

Perhaps, but lets be honest...do you really think HR or a manager really thought this out? I submitt that level 2 werent on the list by pure luck. Managment often has good intentions but do you really think this was properly thought out? You... — read more 

Yeah, as an example, all the assemblers with age and level were listed, all levels included. For some reason, your boss must want to keep the 1,2 and 4 levels, maybe for pay reasons.

Chosen one, you are the man, thanks for the info. Just one clarifying question. I am a , manufacturing engineer level 2, so by no level 1, 2, or4 being on the lisy does that mean I wasnt even on the selection list because i am level 2? Again thanks... — read more

Glad I got out two months ago. When I saw they were offering packages to everyone over 65 I knew what was coming next. SAP has cost $1m per week for how much longer than anticipated? Not to mention the Rover fiasco. Good luck to all the solid... — read more 

I realize that. I was saying that the option of leaving before more layoffs come out is limited since I would owe so much.

if you get laid off your tuition reimbursement is forgiven and you don't have to pay them back.

Chosen one, can you please tell me how many manufacturing engineers were on the list but not chosen (I know 2 were chosen for the reduction already). I would jump ship, but I would owe 25k in tuition to l3. Its lame because I feel like I cant leave... — read more 

Boasting about being employed? Not at all. I have been through a layoff before. I know what it feels like. As you see, not everyone that is posting on this site is layed-off, but asking a lot of "what if" questions. Why can't someone with a... — read more
