U of U EMBA not any better than U of Phoenix
While U of Phoenix is certainly an awful degree, it's worth pointing out that the U of U EMBAs are the most pathetic of all. Next time you're on LinkedIn, check out how many of our fearless leaders (Suzy Q, Dan Wattage, Steve Ate-ings, and many of... — read more

The guy's cube next to mine smells terrible. I get ill every whiff. Suggestions? I'm in building C. Can anyone else smell it?
National Security Solutions In The Hot Seat
Well its about time L-3 woke up and dumped National Security Solutions business unit. No profit there with such low margins in services. To much Reston overhead.
Thank you, Waco
There are plenty of minor issues throughout L-3 that CS-W and CS-E seem to continuously complain the most about, but Waco-PID takes the cake. They are truly the "Biggest Losers". -$103M is really impressive Q2 performance. Way to go!! So much for our... — read more

University of Phoenix (L-3 CSW's flagship university) is under investigation

CSE Exodus Continues
How many people have left this year? My guess is almost a dozen. And we're not talking new grad, know-nothings, either. We're talking some of the best and brightest engineers in the company. Most are tired of being bullied, others realize it's a... — read more

Another layoff needed at CS-W
I'm a manager at CS-W. I have to admit, another layoff would come in handy right about now. I have an employee in my group that isn't working out. Layoffs have been an effective way to take care of problems. It's sad, but true.
L-3 East Camden, NJ questions.....

Give it up for the CSW Operations Group!
Since we're giving a shout out to the Facilities flunkies, let's give a shout out to Ops management, too! Management in that group has come to resemble a group of washed-up, struggling clowns who retired long ago from Circus Circus.
Corpus Christi
Qute from lead "Supervisors said that we should tell our people to make sure and use all your PPT before July 28."
Give it up for our CSW Facilities Group
Does anyone else find Craig Gibson slightly on the retarded side. It's like an almost unnoticable hint of retardation that builds the longer you look at him.
Second quarter 2015 on the books
We have made it to the third quarter of 2015 (some of us). Who knows what will happen in the coming three months? Booming Business... or Big Bust? Perhaps Guy Fawkes can offer some "guidance" to the staff as we head into the second half of 2015.
