Malcolm Gladwell is what Richard Simmons would look like after a sex change. This is the same guy who wants football banned, for christsake. I agree - if you have a Malcolm Gladwell book on your shelf, you should be fired, then re-hired, then fired again immediately.
anyone with a malcolm gladwell book on their shelf - gone
anyone that actually puts time into decorating their office - gone
all of the management cranks that have fridges when they sent the storm troopers to get them out of cubes - gone
anyone that hires a director or above and doesnt empower them to change - gone
engineer bullies that look like meek little twinks - gone
judgmental whackoffs that wonder why you have friends at work - gone
the scene sucks, the culture sucks and the leadership is awful, but none of that changes, just keep firing people and pushing people out the door...how may fakking mid level managers do these ops people need!!!!!
I examined myself pretty thoroughly today and discovered that I am unfit for a Director level position. Who is ready to fire me?
P.S. I find Craig Pimpson as attractive as the multitude of women who adore him here at L-3 CSW (and abroad?). May no man stand in the way of his greatness. I am not worthy.
Who would deny my sexual advances? I could beckon any woman between my sheets, overcome them with such a rapture that even (the artist formerly known as) Prince would stare in wonder at my prowess. I have no need for tact, pretension, or self-control. What one might call "harassment", I call "the greatest gift a woman could ever get in her life" (i.e. harassment from me). Your seething antagonism for me is nothing but the fuel for my fire. I will continue to take as many sister wives as I can. I will continue to populate the earth with little Gibsons. I will continue burst into uncontrolled laughter at the control I wield on the permanent structures of this dying campus. I flick a cacophonous booger in the direction of any man who thinks he is more of a man than me. Yours Truly - Craig "Pimpson"
Craig gibson's comeuppance is long overdue. What is this albino giant guilty of? lets see...adultery with another L3 employee, sex at work with the adulterous mistress, sexual harassment of women at L3, harsh acts of vengeance against L3 employees who don't treat his on-site relatives like royalty, verbal abuse of L3 employees, blatant deceit, shameless backstabbing, intimidation, blatant violation of building codes, blatant violation of safety, oxycodone abuse at work. Pretty much every ethical violation possible. Consequences? Promotion to VP.
"Elitist" - don't forget about Director Marquette, who apparently went to MIT (NOT!) or that Director of Finance with the doughy face who apparently went to Wharton (NOT!). Using over-the-counter online certificates (paid for by L-3) is a way of making your L-3 manager's unattractive pedigree look more attractive, or a way to hide that a L-3 manager's education can be summed up like this: University of Phoenix. There aren't any real Ivy Leaguers at L-3 CSW. Sad that we're firing people so that our L-3 managers can spend $5K on a worthless certificate, just so those managers can "pretend" they went to a good school. "Pretending" is very common at CSW.
The Wicked Witch of the West, the one, the only, the ugly, the incompetent, the sucubus: Camille Guth!
Fire Guy Fawkes. That boy is crazy.
It should go without saying, but I consider myself superior to all of you.
Fire the 4-10 work week, so the serfs can plow the fields for one more day. Fire the 401K, so the savers won't save, but will inject cash into one of my friends' L-3 side businesses (who we will contract to do work here at the facility and further increase our dough). Fire the pretty young women who aspire for professional greatness (they need to learn that it takes 3 decades and a poor diet to succeed). Fire the brilliant young men whose recommendations are all too logical for me to approve (we will never do anything that "makes sense" around here). Fire the Human Resources vampires who (literally) use humans as resources (to feed upon).
Lol. I agree with Kristy. It's funny to watch these L-3 managers put "Harvard Business School" and "MIT" on their LinkedIn profiles, especially when all they earned from those schools was an overpriced certificate for 1-2 days of online coursework (probably at the company's expense, mind you). Look at the L-3 CSW Controller's LinkedIn profile or the Supply Chain Director's profile to see what I'm talking about. They can't hide their U of Phoenix or BYU educations with a certificate from an Ivy League school. You're not fooling anyone.
I nominate the sulking finance director, wandering the halls, head hung low, eyes with that "go f#c! yourself" look, sad that the recently "voluntarily separated" IT spouse has abandoned her for the refuge of the local tech industry. So quick to judge the frightened PM, "your CPI sucks", so quick to quash the younger female cost analyst's aspirations of greatness, "you'll never have my job (I've been here 20 years)", so quick to alt+tab between her massive spreadsheets and her local facebook site. Yes, the sulking finance director is the most under-sexed, under-appreciated, unloved worker in the entire plant.
I'll echo earlier comments. This is probably the most relevant chain yet. Mostly, because the people getting laid off at L-3 are the ones who had the least to do with its demise. Some of the names cited in this chain deserved greater consideration (for firing). L-3 is suffering from managerial dysfunction. The company promotes the wrong people through a "good old boys (and girls)" system that has more to do with who they spend their free time with than who the most capable managers are. I have seen some great program managers, engineers, and ops personnel walk at the doors (or be shown the door) in the past year and half. What's left are the "Devin Allens", managers who do none of the work and spend most of their time trying to keep the good workers "down". CSW managers are insecure and are frightened by talent. DCMA and DCAA should carefully monitor this organization (and especially because that monitoring upsets Susan Opp). The taxpayers deserve better than the idiocy of L-3 management.
Is Deven Allen the fat guy that wears those suits? He needs a new tailor. "Fat guy in a little coat, fat guy in a little co-oh-oat.."
Devin Allen wasn't hired because of his academic credentials, unless you call the University of Phoenix a "credential". He pretends he went to MIT, but everyone knows that Devin was hired because of his daddy, Royce. Devin's closest admirer, Lynn Geek, was also hired because of his daddy, who worked for L-3 back when Brigham Young was Governor. Everyone knows that CS-West is the place that worthless offspring go when they can't get jobs anywhere else. Count how many Gibsons, Bernhisels, Deneris, Eitings, and other family members work at our plant. It's not a mystery. Anyone with an actual "credential", has long since found other employment.
Devin Allen should have been dumped a long time ago like his dad Royce...
Both are major hot air windbags full of themselves.
I find it amazing that a duschbag like Devin was ever made Director with like zero experience. Too many in management are brought in just for degree's and have no concept of what goes on, but they make decisions that affect all.
Corp... Wake up and look at Salt Lake closer!!!
Yep. Best chain yet. I nominate the Deneris Stormborn twins. For Chuck's well-groomed goatees and Evvan's powers of seduction (over well-fed electrical engineers), these two brothers' undying desire for ever-growing power in the realm of geekdom has proven nothing short of a George RR Martin gore fest. They slay with confidence. They lead with iron palm. They savagely throw down the gauntlet on their way to feasting on you enslaved crows. "Let them eat cake. Chuck and I will have steak!"
This is the best chain ever. Don't forget Camille (don't ever fire anyone) Guth.
Not sure, but does anyone know if there is a "dress code" to attend the new "Meet the Mormons" film? I'm thinking of using some of that cash I got from my local pay-day lender to take my mistress to the show, along with a fifth of vodka and some Twix bars. I can't imagine better entertainment than that $h!t.
My vote is for Craig Pimpson, resident love guru, and full-time constructionist. For his establishment of L-3's first harem, for his building of unnecessary buildings, for his employment of all 3 of his sister wives and all 20 of their children, for his endless exploration of the hallways of buildings, closets, and nooks near and far, this one is for you Craig. May your tenure be long. May your job be exhaustingly unnecessary. May your pay continue on its upward trajectory. Here's to you, buddy
It's brett evans, you know the guy who let the "rapid development group" fall apart with evan d's awesome guidance. I actually miss the days of Curtis B., he would actually talk to people and eat with them instead of the prima-donna's that hide in "A" for a couple of more weeks (they are being kicked out)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, we built a building that we don't own and are being evicted - great management. Rumour has it that val's reign of terror will be coming to an end HURRAY!! What a brilliant mind val has - one trick pony for sure - anyone that brings me bad news or negative news if fired.....guess no one is going to tell you the truth genius. About SAP, they have now modified it so much that it is becoming dangerously close to the same system that we had before SAP - again - brilliant.
I nominate all OPDs, Directors of Ops (Manufacturing, etc.), and myself (Supply Chain) because we are too perfect at doing our jobs. We are too awesome not to be fired. We are too smart for SAP. We are too righteous for the kingdom of heaven. We are too good looking for L-3. We are too well dressed to attend events at that crappy hotel downtown. Our suppliers, however, well... they suck. They are not good looking, not awesome, not smart enough to know the difference between tree sap and SAP.
