Earnings were up, but revenues were down. Margins need to be cut some more (read: pensions). Let's buy some good companies. Should we get rid of some bad ones? Got the first VIP airplane done, let's knock out the next two. Don't worry, we've got some... — read more
I'm outta here
It's taken a while but I'll be outta here in a week. I've played the kiss a-- game long enough. Watching the cheerleaders being promoted just because they just the front instead of the back. There is life after l3. I have found it. I'll never work... — read more
Layoffs in Waco? How about Greenville? Salt Lake? Camden? San Diego? New York?
Time to get the numbers in shape for the end of the year. Regardless, get in there and pitch!
Saving president ivers
Watt will take the hit when we don't make the numbers. They can say ivers was not leading the biz and blame watt. Course that means he will be promoted
Changes
Ivers leaving CSW to NY for a "temporary" assignment. Watt taking Ivers spot as president while Ivers is gone. Not much new business coming in. Any rumors of management changes or layoffs?
Lazy
Why is it I seldom see people working here. I see more work done on highway construction crews than here. Of course you have that hr b--ch running around selecting people to be written up for being on the internet, or telling a joke. She has to... — read more
Camden sinking?
All the new "business development" hires, solution architects and countless $$$$ on hocus pocus selling. Where are all the new contracts that were supposed to be pouring in? Sounds like money well spent.
L-3 Narda-Miteq
Anyone has more info here? Layoffs in works for 2017 or 2016
Leadership
So we have some great leaders here that came from MID. People like MN, PP, JC, and DC, and JG. Yea right. What I see are low level managers that are now in high positions, a person that was the team lead to strategically take one of the best programs... — read more
Make your plans now! November 5th is just around the corner.
Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire Night and Firework Night, is an annual commemoration observed on 5 November, primarily in Great Britain, but also on the pages of thelayoff.com, an internet refuge for complainers, whiners... — read more
Let's All Pull Together For The Big Win
Tomorrow is Monday, the start of a new week, so let's put aside all the DH bashing and DH defending and Waco and special coffee and all the rest and all put our shoulders to the grindstone for good old, dear old L-3! Put in a solid 40 and maybe a few... — read more
Why
So I see a lot of posts that target DH, my question is why? What has DH done that has caused such disapproval? I have worked with/for her in the past and present and all I see is someone wanting to make this place better. DH truly wants this place to... — read more
It's starting best to kiss up than work
Get those smooching butt kissing lips ready. Several large contracts have not yet been funded. Mostly in Waco and salt lake. Contracts have been signed but will take up to a year to begin than another 3 to 6 months to get the parts in. Look for belt... — read more
Waco
Having lay off now
Special coffee
If you leave ur coffee cup out at csw salt lake ur probably during special coffee. At night as I walk through the offices I give some of them a swab with my member and boom special coffee. Hah. Managers
Datron’s spiral down!
Here come the layoffs because of the nonproductive Marketing department full of pompous a--’s including the director of the department who is being forced out, coupled by a president who will not leave the building and visit customers to help drum up... — read more
L-3 Waco -- What's *really* going on here? How can we *possibly* be THIS bad?
I've worked here for 4 years now, fresh out of college. When I first started here, I loved it. Great benefits, everyone was happy and we liked our coworkers. We believed in our work, even if it was frustrating at times. Fast-forward 4 years, and we... — read more
Dope
I wonder if I smoked some weed outside instead of cigs if they would let me stand under a cover instead of out in the rain. Better yet inside the building.
Back to work tomorrow
Back to work in the morning! I need to make sure I get in early so I get a good spot in the formation for morning calisthenics, followed by the roll call and singing of the L-3 song. Then we march into the building for a full day of innovation.
Has anything changed?
Take a look around. Has anything changed? Has management contributed anything of value lately? Has management turned over and made way for the next generation of "talent", or are we still promoting our friends, family members, ward members, or... — read more
L-3 CSE Camden NJ getting ready to chop wood near wood shed
All high priced older Finance folks (Accting/Pricing/Contracts/Program Control/Scheduling/Auditing) to be trimmed for sell off/merger in near Short term. Get ur hoagies and soft pretzels and bend over.....country club is shutting down
Thursday
Watch the third week this month on Thursday. All locations.
Tomorrow is another Monday... how interesting will it be, and where?
Wonder how this coming Monday will be. By the way, since The Layoff no longer seems to timestamp our comments, today is Sunday August 7th. And tomorrow is Monday August 8th. Still not the 15th but could be close enough...
L3 ETI has two sites - one in Torrance, CA and one in the Silicon Valley. They will be merging into one site in Torrance.
As a cost-saving measure, the land where the Silicon Valley plant sits will be sold. Most employees will be offered a paid relocation to Torrance. In cases where there is already a person in that job at the Torrance plant, whoever has seniority gets... — read more
Waco layoff
From reliable source-layoff Waco in about 2 weeks. Number unknown.
Financial consolidation of Linkabit and CSW to take place over 2016, effective 2017. Layoffs coming?
Just wanted to let everyone know they aint got me yet. stillon the payroll
Yep still here. We'll see what happens Monday. I love L-3
Women
If women are equal why do they need laws, policies, and commissions to make them so. There are a lot of in name only not male managers, directors and vps only around here that don't do sh-- but are needed to get federal contracts. Equal myass.
Made it to the Third Quarter of 2016 at Comm Sys East
July 1st... the third quarter! Made it through another end-of-quarter frenzy. Somebody else says layoffs in August, that could point to an end-of-third-quarter frenzy. From where I sit, things look pretty solid in Camden well into 2016. But you never... — read more
Old timerz
The old timers keep taking it in. With the good ole boy network working well we won't see much change. Maybe a token layoff here or there but lots of work and the Boyz raking it in on bonus's life is good.
Hope and Change at CS-East
Perhaps when President Obama leaves office he can come to Camden and assist in the Fundamental Transformation of CS-East. We'll need plenty of Hope.
