@Joe the Plumber: Dude, what salary do you make? How much savings do you have? You obviously must make 3 times or more than me to suggest "take a Euro tour" or "go on a roadtrip for a few months". Also I presume you have no kids or mouths to feed, or... — read more

Is it true software group not being affected?

A while back I seem to remember reading a policy stating that we would get a week of severance pay per year of service. Does that ring a bell to anybody? Hopefully it wasn't in the Y-049 and Y-051 policies that Tech5301 mentioned being deleted. I'll... — read more 

Layoff is happening this Thursday for sure but this is not the end of the world. Good news is that an independent audit company is overseeing this. There will be some sort of accountability because of this audit company. If you do get laid off, go... — read more 

L3 has contracted the police to come and provide "security support" for the SLC layoffs starting here soon. An audit company is holed up at Decker Lake in the conference rooms...

I heard Susan is being thrown under the bus and is being blammed. Also, extra security guards will be present on Thursday to help escort those let go.

I heard another source that confirmed Thursday, April 18th. I'm still not sure about departments or quantities. Come early Thursday! You don't want to be late to your own layoff.

We've dropped all our temps as of last week. No more "go in two's" commandment. WARN will not apply as they will be below the 10 percent by dropping coops and temps... at least this won't be another ATK or MOOG deal. Everyone chill out :)

In regards to the WARN act, it only applies if they layoff 500 or more, or more than 33% of the workforce over a 90 day period. I am sure they will keep it below those numbers in order to avoid consequences of the WARN act. As far as the "Appliance... — read more 

Only 1536 employees were scheduled so far... the first 4 weeks. So no way to really guess... unless you pissed your boss off really good. I wasn't scheduled and my boss hates me since I pointed out he was defending abuse of corporate policies...

I have not been scheduled for encompass training. Does that mean I'm on gone on the 18th?

Corporate execs coming as Anon mentioned.. as well as an "Ethic Team" to survey 90 people. My guess: they need some finger-pointing to some "low-hanging fruit" to enhance the 10-20% force reduction. I suggest if you had your Encompa$$ Training... — read more 

CSW eliminated the "Reduction in Force" policies Y-049 and Y-051 last August 2012. They referred to the W.A.R.N policy of giving 60 days notice of layoff etc... If you read W.A.R.N on the web, I believe L-3 will use the "Faltering Company" exclusion... — read more

Another Employee Appreciation Picnic...the last time we had one of those there was a layoff.....well, this great event will take place next Thursday, April 18th...

L3 executives coming from NY in the next few weeks. I wonder what they are coming for....

Coops have yet to be laid off. Rumors of ~20% layoff CSWEST wide.

Many engineers (~12) have left our department for new companies over the past few months. They must have seen the writing on the wall.

FIRST THE CO-OP’S ARE LET GO, THEN EARLY RETIREMENT OPTIONS ARE OFFERED, AND NEXT A HIRING FREEZE. NOT SURPRISED TO SEE A LAYOFF COME NEXT.

April 18 from what I hear is the big layoff day...10%...watch out for those "all hands meetings"...code for layoff meetings...the people who say this is hype likely work fir L3 HR

Same here, I'll see you in the unemployment line.

10% of engineers at comm west this month. Criterion is the average of your last three annual reviews. Don't know if it's by department or if it's the lowest 10% of all engineers. I'll see you in the unemployment line.
