Did anyone hear on the amount we will be getting on 21 Feb?
With all the aviation mishaps lately
Just remember to follow the manuals when doing your job. It's getting fu--ing ridiculous out there.
Layoffs
When they coming??
Leverage
The workers have immense leverage against the company but years of corporate & political bullying has most fearful. Will the company perform every dirty trick in the book to bust up attempts to organize. Of course. What needs to be understood is that... — read more
Tulsa Layoff/Relocation?
Has anyone heard about the Tulsa Gulfstream facility being shutdown and relocated to Savannah? I left Nordam to work for Gulfstream and I've heard that Nordam is steadily increasing the Gulfstream lease which will drive all of Tulsa to be moved to... — read more
Layoff
Rumors on laying off 10% in the coming up weeks or months? Anyone know anything about this?
Billions in Revenue Loss
Please GAC friends look up the WARN Act. RIF is inevitable.
And so it begins
There are no secrets only delays in the coming truths, let’s see what tomorrow brings. You want or need a reason to be frustrated just wait until the conversations start spreading
All promotions denied company-wide
Was up for a big jump but was told today that all promotions have been denied and he's not sure we'll even have raises at EPR time. Layoffs no doubt coming soon.
Engineering in trouble?
First of all I would like to say that the G700 program is a couple millions over budget, overtime is stopping starting 2025 for completions engineering and remote work is off the charts unless it’s an emergency for family or health. There used to be... — read more
Completions or “incompletions”
The rumors were there and had been growing daily now I know they weren’t rumors but reality. As my Manager explained my new role as a hourly supervisor last week doing the same f-cking job I was doing before and that I should be happy because I’m... — read more
RIFs in coming weeks
I’ve been hearing about it a lot lately. Just the rumors or there’s more to it?
Contracts not being renewed?
Contractors being laid off?
FOR SALE??
Are we being sold? There are signs that are pointing in that direction. Policy changes, new uniforms, old equipment being replace and taken out on flatbed, fresh paint, fire codes and inspections being done, as well fire systems being replaced and... — read more
A message from the desk of Mark B-ms
Regarding the 2025 policy changes requiring hourly employees to clock in and out for the allotted 30 minute lunch break, I'd like to remind you that we have crossed the rubicon and will no longer idly stand by while reprobate hourlies overstay their... — read more
strike
Can we go on strike with the ports and get a pay increase as well? Pretty underpaid to be building these wonderful private jet airplanes.
Simple Solution
Union
So what’s really happening behind the scenes
I assume these recent policy changes are leading up to another GAC layoff we are known for, but why. Our earnings call presented good numbers with a small dent due to L1 being worse then expected. But they aren’t 2019-2021 bad. I’m guessing the... — read more
Question about pay structures
Can anyone explain why final line mechanics are a pay grade higher than structural mechanics? I have asked upper management and never really recieved a clear answer. Their answer is always "that's a good question, we're going to look into that".
New policies
30 minutes for lunch and you have to clock in and out for it. No more rolling over your personal or vacation time to the following year. If you take off a day during the week (using your time) you will still have to work a full 40 hours before you... — read more
Eliminating 4x10 work week say it ain’t so?
Maybe it’s tine for the engineers to consider joining a union and see how that plays out. Can’t start the next model/revenue generator without the engineering people.
Mark Burns: "We're better when together"
All employees back in office full-time Oct. 1, 2024. If this was the plan all along -- what was the point of signing the Remote Hybrid Agreement in June 2024?
No more hybrid schedules
How does that make yall feel? (Honestly, su-ks for our family. Co workers are great, but sometimes I need time alone to focus on my work.)
Retention
Can’t have recruitment without retention.
Upcoming Layoff?
Saw on People Central on the homepage that the Reduction In Force protocol was edited/updated 2 days ago. Just a coincidence or sign of bad things to come?
Bonus
Has anyone heard anything about our mid year bonus?
Mark Burns Retiring, Sales, Marketing, HR VPs being let go
Rumor has it. Thoughts?
Unionize
When I started at Gulfstream. One of the old timers told me that Gulfstream tries to make things better for everyone to stave off the chance of a Union being formed. Seems to me that a company that is purposefully depressing their wages, offering... — read more
Positive change for IT?
If rumors are accurate, SB is retiring - there may actually be a knowledgeable and effective leader in the wings. The culture and morale are terrible so maybe it will get better. It’s exhausting walking on eggshells every day.
Contract Raise Process
So I got a call from my shop today after another year of being the top performer in my group. Gulfstream awarded me a whopping 2.1% in a year when inflation was over 8%. I get back to the office and my lead calls me in for a conference and offers me... — read more
The All Hands is contrived garbage
AA if you're reading this stop asking stupid softball questions and let MB know his protracted corpspeak answers are insultingly useless. You need to take live questions, not cherry pick the ones you want you corporate ****.
Pay disadvantages
Funny how building Y gets 10% to do their job, but building X gets nothing, and hear they’ve pulled money from the merit/promotional budgets.
Furlough
Starting to hear rumors of possible furloughs at Savannah facilities.
Gulfstream military friendly is a sick joke!
This place is far from military friendly and is closer to being military hostile. I have seen numerous "reasonable accommodation" requests from vets not taken seriously and actually just brought increased scrutiny to those requesting. Quite... — read more
AA named SVP
title. that is all.
Zero G700 Deliveries in ‘23?
Hoping no one will notice but they do…G700 deliveries not likely by end of year….again. Poor planning and delays going to hurt bottom line and slow future aircraft development. Just blaming other people vs looking internally. Last article (below)... — read more
Bonus check not coming in Dec?
I hear rumbling through completions that the end of the year bonus might be pushed back to its original march date? Is that true or?
Unionize NOW
It’s only going to get worse. You all know this and it’s baffling why some are against having representation. You literally play into the hands of the people who want to take your livelihood for themselves. My favorite part of making these post is... — read more
New 3 question EPR methodology
Anyone have insights or thoughts on why our overlords have modified the EPR format? Question 2 asks employees to volunteer areas where performance isn't what it should be or needs improvement. Seriously.
