I am hearing rumors of furloughs due to parts shortages. Anyone hear this?
Coping with parts shortages
It's great that someone mentioned part shortage as an issue here. Do you think Textron is coping well with this issue or could it be better?
Express
Express has taken over the Plant 1 GR Area and the Identification Area in Paint at Plant 1.
Independence flight closing
So the latest rumor is independence is no longer going to b making acft. They will make parts only. All acft currently made there will b moved to east campus over the next 2 to 3 years. This doesn't make sense since they r paid way less but... — read more
Layoff can be a great thing if you're ready to move on
And I definitely am. Too many days I feel like I'm ba----g my head against a wall while I try to achieve even the simplest thing at work and I don't want to feel like that anymore. If they offered voluntary separations with a decent severance... — read more
Price of gas
So what is the price of oil going to do to sales? How long before we see layoffs again like 2008?
Parts
So...they r 3D printing parts so they can put stuff together...but all is good right....who r they kidding.
TSP Plus and Performance Bonus payout
If I leave before TSP Plus and performance bonuses are paid will I still receive either of them?
What is your main reason for leaving?
I've been here a long time and that's why it's so hard for me to leave. However, I am now seriously considering leaving next year because I am no longer satisfied with the atmosphere in this company. I was even thinking of accepting a lower paid... — read more
Absurd ethics violations
It’s becoming ridiculous. If any run of the mill employee remotely gets close to non-compliance with HR policies, you are forever doomed. All at the same time we have SLT members blatantly giving tens of thousands of dollars of favors to their... — read more
January 4th Vaccine Requirement - Postponed
The January 4th Vaccine Requirement for Textron has been postponed.
Unvaccinated numbers
14 percent of textron east and west campus are not vaccinated....you are going to need to hire more than 900 people.
Problems with hiring?
It may be an individual case, but a colleague who left almost three months ago has still not been replaced. Perhaps Textron is in no hurry to make a replacement, or perhaps there are problems with hiring? I don't know... I wonder what you think, is... — read more
Textron Layoffs 2022
This thread is for info about potential Textron layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Communication worse than ever
Our manager expects others to read his mind. This is a place that could never, or at least as long as I have worked here, be praised for good communication, however, the situations that we have now due to poor (or no) communication are awful... — read more
I try to look positive
I'm trying to find a few reasons why I would stay here, but it's difficult. I may be exaggerating, but from my perspective there is no longer any reason why anyone would want to be here if they had any other opportunity. Maybe there's a reason I... — read more
New Date - Jan 4th
I guess the business groups got through to the White House and got them to move the federal contractor mandate to January 4th so that 4th quarter earnings aren’t impacted by mass layoffs. Question is, will the company actually move their date? — read more
How hard is it to get an exemption?
None of this matters cause the company is handing out exemptions like candy.... Why don’t I have this impression that the company is handing out exemptions like candy? I know a man who has a very serious medical problem and I absolutely... — read more
Big talk, no action
It is amazing to me when some say that almost half of the employees will leave the company because of the vaccine. What kind of estimates are those? Terrible. I don't believe at all that many people will leave this place because of the vaccine... — read more
Running Scared
So the WH now says no one should be terminated due to mandate and that it was never their intent for companies to fire people for not getting vaccine. Funny how all new contracts have been sent to companies stating if all employees are not vaccinated... — read more
Still no news on layoffs?
Are they waiting for the whole mandate thing to play out before doing anything?
Dec 8th A day that will live in Infamy
I wonder if they will stop everyone at the entrance doors throughout Textron and will terminate them without a vaccination record on the spot or I wonder if they’ll do something similar to a layoff? Any word
Almost no work
More than anything, it worries me that I have almost no work to do. I've never had less work to do. For a long time now, almost all day long, there is nothing to occupy my time. What to do when there's no work to be done and you can't find another... — read more
December 8th
Wel, there it is. All employees in a company with a government contract MUST be vaccinated by December 8th. Doesn't matter if u work from home or if you do work on the contract or not. Buckle up buttercup, it's about to get real.
Net Jet calls it quits
Anyone else heard about this? Word is they stopped taking delivery of all acft until further notice.
FDA approved
Vaccine mandate coming due to government contract....put up or shut up.
Textron Aviation winter layoffs
Has anyone heard of layoffs coming in early December?
NetJet wants more
Orders are up and things are only getting crazier...so why won't HR get out of the way and hire people who don't have aviation experience but have relatable experience? At least that way they can be trained before all he-l breaks loose.
Rules for thee, but not for me?
Anybody else starting to feel like things are getting even worse around the leadership team and a different standard for the rest of us? I hear about some teams doing really cool stuff to recognize their teams, but others, not a peep. My neighbor’s... — read more
I thought morale was going to get better
Honestly, how much work do you have and how busy are you? There is so little work to be done in my case, that I have nothing to hope for but that they will very soon tell me that I am no longer needed. I haven’t found a better job yet, and I feel... — read more
