Space and airborne systems in Clifton has been the latest Canary in the coal mine. Middle management and even upper leadership people are leaving literally every week. At the beginning of the new year, another manager resigned. There were four managers, then there were three, then there were two, and then there was one. Now we have none. This is how bad it is getting. Two senior production planners left before the end of the year two more are leaving the end of next month. We are bleeding talent so fast the company literally does not have anyone doing vital jobs. I have had eight managers in 2 years. We have gone through three human resources representatives in less than 2 years, and supervisors leave literally weeks after getting the job. The only benefit this company has provided to anyone has been the ripe low-hanging fruit for our competitors to pick whenever they need talented people. The company has become cheap, and woke. They have placed profits over people, and quotas over quality. D-mbing down the jobs, and d-mbing down the new hires too. I, like so many of my colleagues, will be leaving the end of this month. Good riddance. They won't have to lay anybody off, the place will be empty of human beings in a couple of years anyway. If you're reading this, and considering applying for a job there, don't waste your time. And, if you're a shareholder, dump that stock right now. Cut your losses while you can. I was happy to give my heart and soul to accompany that provided such a vital service to the most important people on earth. Our men and women of the armed forces. But now, I wouldn't give this company the sweat off my ba--s.

The deadwood infested L3 MAS in Canada is a hopeless cause. Many horrific hires brought in by incompetent management fester there with impunity, driving out those with a backbone.
L3h has gone downhill
They cannot keep up with the others or even compete.
A lot of lies from management.
Some layoffs seem to happen because of discrimstion
Very sad. I was at Harris Semiconductor at Melbourne, Florida during 1969 to 1972. It was very good at first, but the rot set in during the recession of 1971, with regular small layoffs to keep the company in profit (and the CEO's profit-sharing bonuses) regardless. No loyalty to employees. Many good engineers left to transfer their loyalties elsewhere. Too much of a gypsy life for me.
Friday was my last day. There is no point or meaning working for L3Harris other than a below average paycheck.
What happened at Wescam?
