Let's see how much good talent quits due to the big wigs thinking people are more effective in the office. Forced office work is a thing of the past and management is blind as a bat having employees report to the office
Vaccine layoff
Big surprise, they're pushing a possibly unconstitutional executive action to mandate jabs in the arm by December. No word on how they'll safeguard that personal medical information, and how they'll compensate for side effects of the experimental... — read more
Writing on the wall
With diversity officers, inclusion councils, and thought management roles, it is clear the focus has shifted to pandering to social movements. The change has been subtle at the company so far but gaining speed in the past year. This might not be... — read more

HR Layoffs
A handful of layoffs in HR. No management... of course. I thought private equity was supposed to be ruthless; it doesn't seem much has changed since the acquisition. Still the same leadership mentality... belly up to the BAR, guys.
Layoffs
3 mechanical engineers laid off mid July. At least 1 admin laid off mid July. 1 IT laid off mid September.
More gone today!
Won't hear about this on the local news (or any news). Those who are gone need to start going to the press and exposing it all. supposedly they aren't even giving you your vacation time left or anything. I have heard they aren't fighting any of... — read more
Too many managers
Other people have mentioned this, and it is completely true. We have too many managers on all levels in Westinghouse - and for some reason, they are always safe when it comes to layoffs. Why is that the case? Realistically, cutting some of the... — read more
Even MORE after the latest rounds!?!
So after getting rid of admins, SQO, liscencing, etc. during July - I'm hearing about another 30% cut across the board. Anyone know if this is true or not? Funny how you never hear of these kind of cuts with the executives (1 VP salary would have... — read more
Western Zirconium plant
Looks like since the business needs are changing they will be reducing head count. They've also communicated that by October the voluntary separations will be completed and they will have to re-evaluate to see how many folks will take the voluntary... — read more
I highly doubt anything will change
They spread the layoffs out to avoid any kind of media attention. Good luck with the new CEO. Hopefully he can correct things, but I highly doubt anything will change. When it comes time to reduce headcount, performance doesn’t matter to HR and that... — read more
More happening today
Administrative aides were let go today. 22 of them. Document control was slashed today. More coming before end of July (two days from now). Why isn't local news on this? You'd think they would be on this?

Leaders—Ha
All of the so-called leaders are nothing more than bullies who hide behind their emails. Confront them and watch them cower and hide. You all deserve better than the losers you have running that place. Just remember, they’re getting paid. You’re not. — read more

More layoffs 9/13/18
10 percent in America announced today.
More layoffs coming march 30 2018
Looks like a small 25% reduction to shop floor in one location with a handful of salary. Who knows what will happen once Brookfield signs on the dotted line in September. If you have vacation use it.
Acquisition layoffs
So, how many people do we think will be laid off as part of the Brookfield Business Partners' acquisition of Westinghouse? I'm pretty sure that with the obligatory restructuring and reorganization, nobody is safe... — read more
You can be SURE if it's Westinghouse
As a former consulting engineer, management is clueless, the blind leading the blind. During my employment, management requested engineers to work a minimum of five non-paid hours per week. Just another way of saying "thank you for you service." The... — read more

How many more until its enough?
We already lost over 700 people, and now we are looking at 1,500 more. I read somewhere that our CEO boasted about how motivated our employees are - does he really expect us to stay motivated after this? We will have weeks of fear, wondering if it's... — read more

Danny Roderick.... A Joke played on all of us!
Danny ran this company into the ground and received a $19,000,000 separation package the hired on the RESTRUCTURING team to help rebuild what he tore down!!!
The good folks at Westinghouse deserve better.
So much for Danny's "Right to Grow" strategy ... Short-sighted management decisions intended to expedite construction and increase profit have resulted in head count reductions and potentially threaten US leadership in the nuclear industry. The good... — read more
