There was a time when Harris (Palm Bay) had a fantastic program for the end of year holidays. They did decorations, and handed out toys to every child.
Well, those days are long over, and L3Harris will now be handing out pink slips and coal for the end of year holidays.
You have about three months to prepare. I suggest you get ready.
@3qc - the parties may have been in the past, but the pink slips are in the near future,
@3kr Uhh, wasn't all this from way in the past? Well before merger.
@3kr Palm Bay engineer checking in. We don't have test boxes on multiple multi year programs... no capex or program funds available...
@3kr nice reply, L3Harris, HR representative
You guys are always babied down there in Palm Bay, the rest of us joke about it.
What do you think they spent $50k on you loving the decoration, while another site can't buy a test box on CapEx? Please do without some decoration.. the rest of us do.
Years ago, this was the best place to work. Now it's the worst they did away with everything they used to do. The children's Christmas parties, the parties for the adults at Christmas Bonuses, now you're lucky you still have a job.\nWell , everybody at the top gets rich.
@OP What a damn shame. People are worried about losing their jobs right before Christmas while these so-called leaders collect bonuses, play the stock market with l3h stock, and rake in massive salaries. They’re doing just fine while everyone else is left worrying about how they’re going to get by.
There’s a new sheriff in town—SM, one of the cheapest so-called leaders out there. Don’t keep your expectations too high. You’re lucky to have a job and a paycheck. Meanwhile, behind closed doors, he’s probably sitting there squeezing his brain, trying to figure out how to cut costs and eventually lay you off.
HR will tell you that you are here for the culture! Hahaha
@fd They only layoff during the first 12 months of the year.
@eg - In the past years, normally it’s just before the 2 week holiday break starts. That way they don’t have to pay you for the time off.
When is the layoff date?

@OP - Why is it a company is so bad that they would lay people off during the holidays, I’m sure it has to do with saving money. What a horrible, horrible company people should reconsider working there.
Decidedly not gemmy
There was a time, before the Harris takeover, when we would receive a Christmas bonus. My family would benefit alot more from that rather than a party. It might actually improve morale, who knows?
Ya I heard there was even a Santa Clause for the kids, big Christmas event for the whole family.
@OP The only “gifts” which will be exchanged will be the millions in bonuses from the board to executive management. Congratulations for all your “hard” work. You deserve it, especially Ed Zoiss.
