Who is the Wicked Witch of the West anyway, and why does everyone call her that?
When is management going to turnover in Operations? Some of those people have been in the same job since the start of the Cold War. When is L-3 CSW going to crack down on nepotism and cronyism?

"Let's meet so I can show you what I think about your choices. I'm disabled but could still make you wish your mommy had aborted you. Bring it you scumbag anytime anywhere." Ok.
"Can L-3 (or any other large defense contractor) effectively compete for new grads who seem to have a different idea of what the ideal job would be?"

That said, we are successful in recruiting very talented grads.

"How much did we pay for SuccessFactors? Are we still paying any kind of maintenance/support fee?" Sorry, I don't know how much we pay. Yes, there is an ongoing subscription (maintenance/support) fee we pay. It's expensive I'm sure, but a necessary business tool.
"Is the Wicked Witch of the West really as evil as people say she is?" No.
"When is the next major one" Direction from executive management is to avoid larger group layoffs to avoid bad press. All foreseeable layoffs will happen in smaller groups.
