When BAE merged with Ball Aerospace, a few years age, did BAE finally get rid of the good old boys club and old guard at Ball Aerospace that was so brutally terrible? I have worked for both companies in the past and BAE systems was probably one of... — read more 

Management sent out an email October 6th 2025 that 50 union and 50 management positions were to be laid off due to lack of work. The truth is they sub most of the work out and are bringing in their people from San Diego to run the place. Glad I... — read more 

At least 1 person laid off today from PGSS (Part of Precision Strike in Electronic Systems) in Huntsville. I will update if I hear about more.

Several people were laid off earlier in the year. Anyone know of any more Fast Labs (within ES) layoffs coming?

Leaders are getting ready to lay folks off soon.

I've been seeing some posts on LinkedIn that some CISA contracts are getting canned? Anyone hear about cuts within ES?

Bloodbath!

Lots of folks let go!

Has anyone else feeling the constant stress of when the next RIF announcement has been? All year different groups have been laid off. The recent acquisition feels like the worst decision they could’ve made.

Any one know if Fast Labs specifically is going to have layoffs due to the poor utilization in some spots?

Keep hearing about this from colleagues in shared and that it might lead to redundancy Can someone explain what this is?

74 reported total out of ES, approximately 35 out of San Diego in two waves of layoffs. Software Engineering, Systems and Test impacted and a hiring freeze.

C4ISRS. At least two at this site. Memo from management saying layoffs occurred due to skills and utilization. No numbers mentioned.

Got an email saying that some marketing folks left the company but later confirmed that it was a layoff, seems like a small one but I've got no ways of verifying how many people. Some newer hires and interns seem to have been hit. Management wants to... — read more

I left a while ago. Just was wondering if the place is stable now. With all of the world conflicts going on I figure more work would be flowing in?

Any word if the exploding bus program gets cancelled? Also Do the buses come with a sprinkler system, just asking for a buddy

Apparently TA was hit. It was done silently and people were immediately walked out. This is crazy. Who knows which division is next.

Let’s be honest, Bae hasn’t been good to us for years. I’m now determined to move on as soon as I can, and being laid off would help with that. Granted, I’m saying this because I don’t expect to see any reductions in severance. If they decide to cut... — read more 

Somebody must know something about these cuts. Please let us know!

There was a RIF in New Hampshire today in Engineering. Approximately 3 to 4 percent. Unsure if other locations were affected.

If anyone has heard any rumors or news about upcoming layoffs, please comment. I heard there may be some coming in the US.

I worked for this company for 5 years. Once management changed, I knew it was the beginning of the end. Decided I had enough of their woke bu-----t.

I really have no intention of doing someone else’s job anymore. I'll give notice right away if they give me more extra work. Is their only solution to attrition that with each colleague who leaves, I get more work to do? Does BAE really think it can... — read more 

Am I the anyone on here who is baffled that we've lost so many people in the last year, and yet management still doesn't understand the source of the problem? Or maybe they wanted to downsize even more without having more layoffs and obviously won't... — read more 

Any more layoffs going to happen? If you have any info, please post with the location, department, and percentage being RIF.

I think the whole CoronaV “downturn” and furloughing they’ve done to deal w it is probably just an excuse to clean house a bit without all the associated bad pr of a regular lay-off. My gut’s telling me that one person I know who was furloughed could... — read more
