Layoffs yesterday at Greenville, Waco, and Rockwall. Rockwall layoff choices made by vp and hr manager who know nothing about the organization. Slippery slope. The sliding has just begun. Expect ice in January.

Any truth to that? maybe they will invite the folks laid off so we can get a meal while on unemployment, the only legacy left of the once great site

Rumored layoff to eliminate "redundancies" now that the numbers have come back from voluntary layoffs and reorg has been announced.

So I got a job offer for L3 but it's a contract offer, the thing that scares me is that I don't want to be out of a job once the contract is up. How likely is it that they'll keep me after my contract is up?

Why hasn't anyone in corporate come to Waco and cleaned house? It doesn't take a masters, hell, an associates degree to see what's wrong in Waco. There are two floors of dead weight that needs to go. Burn rate is useless without completion. There is... — read more
