DT is not safe this time. DT is overstaffed, and they are non-direct-charge employees. CT DT will typically be reduced by 30%. I only know this because leadership asked us to provide a list of low-performing employees.
Oct 10th
Heads up, were currently complying the list for our department. In previous downsizing we've been asked who we'd like to get rid of and then the number of layoffs would match. This time they are giving gave us a firm 15% reduction which is going to... — read more

IT DT DIRECTOR
I was let go this last Friday from DT at EH OBA1. We had to let go 35 people last week because Shane Eddy and team decided to cut SG&A staff by 30% overall throughout the company. That means if you are not a direct charging employee to the customer... — read more

Mid career engineering, been offered a role at Pratt. Coming in from the competitor in Cincy. What’s the work environment like ? I see talk of layoffs but seems like they’re hiring quite a bit. Some risk to the move but could be good career wise... — read more

Pratt has become a place to leave
It used to be the other way around, Pratt was a place to be. A great company to advance your career. Now it's a company where you get stuck and the only way to make any progress is to leave. Ask around and see how many people are getting ready to... — read more
Every Day is He-l for me
My 5 years with Pratt has caused me to have severe anxiety, depression, and panic attacks, which I've never experienced anywhere else. The toxic culture, demanding environment, borderline rude co-workers. I'm ready almost every day to give my notice... — read more

transparency on unvax terminations
Wouldn’t it be transparent for the company to divulge how many people were let go due to being on Vaxxed? They made a big deal of it but now it seems that nobody was held accountable and let go so what happened? The date past for employees to be... — read more
Time To Go.
Matt Bromberg Knew What He Was Doing.
Hiring
Would you go back?
Vax up (mandate) by Dec 7 2021 or get fired
Corporate mandate; wonder if it will play out just like what happened at SouthWest Airlines….?
Vax Mandate
RTX / P&W is basically playing chicken with vax mandate of take the jab and report, or be fired.
Woke HR rating

Vax
Get the Joan or get lost by Oct 1, 2021! No unemployment, just a boot out the door…
Got Vax?
