Thread regarding L3Harris Technologies layoffs

It's more than losing a paycheck

When I got laid off, people acted like I should shake it off and start applying the next morning. They didn't seem to understand that you're not just losing a paycheck, you're losing your routine, your plans, and sometimes a big part of your identity. I was angry, sad, and completely thrown off for a while. I'm still not fully recovered, and I'm lucky to have been able to find a new job rather quickly.

All this to say, if you're laid off, give yourself some room to be upset about what happened. That's not something you need to apologize for.

@a5 It’s scary to know that there are people on both sides of the political equation who think like this. A politician is a politician and their goals are always personal. If you think one of your team members will solve problems better than the incumbent, you are part of the problem. The fight is not left and right. The fight is up and down…the socioeconomic ladder. Political parties are just distractions so you don’t fight the real enemies. Wake up people.

Not sure how anyone could still be surprised by a layoff at L3H, but peeps are absolutely entitled to feel their feelings. That said, an apology MIGHT be in order if you burdened someone else without their permission.

Interesting that L3 is laying off in the midst of the surge in defense spending. RTX, Lockheed,NGG are all hiring

@a5 imagine believing blue bumper stickers in 2026 will fix centuries of scheming

@OP your emotions are valid. I got RIF'd a few years back. It's a very personal journey, not quite the pain of losing a loved one but up there. If you have other people to support it is a helluva stressor. I was very upset after I figured out I inadvertently was training my replacement. They ended up cancelling the project, so if I wasn't RIF'd earlier I'd have been RIF'd later. I still have mixed feelings on it.

Sending you the best wishes. It's cliche but it's true: you'll be okay.
