Will not specify what departments but Sr. Managers have the picks and HR has been notified. Also for next year we have operational changes and more business consolidation, a plan to cut 5% of the workforce for cost savings is in discussion. I hate this part of my job and this is how I vent. Im sorry

The consolidation of four business segments into three, and the spin off of missile Solutions will give them close to the 5% reduction in force they are looking for. Other reductions will happen as well. The older legacy programs centralized in Clifton will be hit the hardest. As programs are outsourced and aged out, operations, touch labor will be hit especially hard. Middle management and the bargaining unit are expected to take heavy losses.
Looks like my predictions where not wrong for 2026. Sorry for everyone at PB and SAS
@b7 5% workforce reduction based on the company's own figures of 50,000 employees represents about 2,500.
No confirmation yet?
@be there’s some talk floating around that the small RIFs that are being done represent sites they’re planning to close long term. Sites with largely legacy programs and little new work are the obvious candidates. Some like Van Nuys they’d had on deck to close for years but I believe kept trying to find a buyer for instead, some are consolidation of whatever worthwhile programs there are to centralized sites and selling off the ones on life support.
Any ideas when operation changes are to occur?? I have this sneaky feeling they are planning on closing our site
The old cattle that have figured out how to circumvent the fence were sent to the packed fenced in area with all the cows standing around eating non stop all day until they escort them into the building
nobody knows what happens in there because we never see them again
12 weeks after the 2024 layoff, they hired about 36 new college grads.
2500??? who makes these numbers up?? and can anyone verify this?? if they lay that many off and then HAVE to hire they back because of contracts won in 2026, who would want to come back!! Those that are due for a pension because tbey have been there for over 25yrs need to be pushed harder to leave and feee up space.
@OP I just received 2 phone calls and e-mails for Contract work in Palm Bay yesterday! SMH
Cutting another 2500 people next year? Larger than the layoff from April 2024? But why then would they hire so many people back who were laid off in April of 2024? Are they going to lay them off again in 2026? Or will they be different people this time? Other than the baker's dozen that are being laid off in florida, I think your prediction for next year is hyperbole.
