Thread regarding Raytheon Co. layoffs

As I come to read back my post, I was right!

If good talented engineers don't jump, mediocracy will rise!

Waterloo had brought in a number of useless ex-military hacks like this Systems Engineering clown, generally lacking any technical knowledge, management skills or industry experience. Crude, boorish mouthpieces for the most part that just added to the toxicity of the place and accelerated its decline in the final years.

They left the main product line to die out, while the dwindling pool of technical talent was squandered on things like a refurb project run by a rogue engineer.

They had another useless bobblehead running software in Waterloo after 2012.

That small paranoid goof that ran systems engineering in waterloo knew nothing about systems engineering or radar theory, just sat in the office and used a couple of bootlickers as spies.

Rayturd lost interest in ATC radar when the field became competitive after Y2K. A lot of valueless garbage put in as placeholders to head key areas in Waterloo such as marketing and systems engineering.

@1jaqx+1mVuObOn you're a tu-d. No equation exactly equates nature. Meaning, making global statements for the entirety of existence of the company (even before you were born), means you're having an adolescent outburst with a side order of whiny.
Also, Raytheon hasn't been Raytheon in decades with all of their acquisitions. They're a shell company with a name, incorporating individual business units.

Raytheon never had any good engineers

The Waterloo plant was closed in 2017 and sold. What you are referring to is just a small repair shop employing a handful of employees to support legacy systems. Raytheon exited the air traffic control radar business after the Waterloo plant closed in 2017. They are no longer doing any manufacturing or engineering development in Waterloo.

re: @1rvb+1mVuObOn
Yet the Waterloo, Ontario facility is still open, after moving down the street to a new smaller building a number of years ago. Not sure how many employees are still there or what they are working on these days, but it hasn't actually closed down yet. Do you know?

Engineering talent is valued less and less since there is less innovation and risk-taking compared to past decades. It is generally the bootlocker and brown-noser who gets promoted in the current environment, rather than those who deserve it.

Many wait too long. At the failed Waterloo, Ontario radar facility there was no development of the core product line after the 1990s and the better engineers wisely left by the end of that decade. Much of the deadwood that remained behind was unable to find another job in the technology sector when the facility ultimately failed, as their skills were atrophied.
