Adios VIaSat! Wishing you nothing but the best!  I was one of the people who was let go. But I have no hard feelings! Mark D. is the best human being and leader I have ever known. I must be really very fortunate having had an opportunity to work for... —  read more 

Anyone knows when unemployment benefits kicks in? On the termination/notice day? After 60 days (notice duration) ? Or after severance period?

Hi All. Got laid off with termination date of yesterday (3/27) and separation day of (4/1). This means that I have 60 days to transfer my H1-B to another employer starting from one of those days (not sure which one). I had some friends at other... —  read more 

Do you know if any of our competitors are having layoffs right now?

I received an email yesterday requesting a meeting to discuss "today's occurrences." I had a feeling that was code for something bad, and I was correct. My job was terminated. It was difficult to swallow, especially since I still had a lot of work... —  read more 

At least I liked the guy ([Redacted-by-User] Shelton) who made the phone call. He's a decent, considerate person. I understand why companies do this, but employability for a person my age should be seriously weighted in the severance package. ... —  read more

Rumor is there'll be a significant round of layoffs at ViaSat not long after this month is over. How reliable is this info?

Anyone else notice people disappearing slowly here and there?

I know of five employees that were asked to find a new role within the month, I hope this is the end of it. Does anyone have news to share on furloughs?

Heard a Manager talking about a 6 month furlough coming. Anyone hear that?

6% across the departments but some hit harder than others like HR and security. Government side is safer like back in 01/02 and 08/09. Commercial side will probably have more layoffs if things don't recover soon and I don't expect they will... —  read more 

Or are we done for now?

Got a whiff of layoffs in Tempe. Any thoughts?

There's more coming. Company has an excess of 3,700 employees and inefficient middle level management. Has propped the stock price up by making announcements for products and services that are still conceptual. Will have cash flow problems in the... —  read more
