After 6.5 years of successful remote and hybrid work, leadership decided employees must return to the office more than half the time. Despite years of strong performance, increased productivity, and record results, management couldn't even provide a... — read more

“Quiet layoffs”
Does anyone else feel that ASI intentionally wants workers to quit? It seems as if leadership is forcing people out.
Mandatory OT - weekends and off Friday
It’s coming …
Rumored RIFs
Is there truth to rumors of March or April RIFs?
Guckheimer?
Why
Hybrid being eliminated in 2026?
Has anyone else heard this rumor?
Lazy co-workers
I know we all got emm, mine is special! Because he’s salary, comes in at 8-9am, answers a few emails, has lunch, leaves at 1pm-2pm everyday!!! 11am if the supervisor is out sick! What a joke of a company!
Will GA have any role or contracts in NGAD with Boeing? That is if there is any body competent
left at GA to get any work done.
GA please Lay me Off
In our segment of the organization there is no leadership of management. One of our leaders provided some insight the other day when he forwarded a message to his team Titled Inspiration “Decide what you want. Write it down. Make a plan. Work on... — read more
Lunches
When will GA pay for our lunches?
30 Layoffs in last 3 years
GA has filed for 30 WARN act declarations in the last 3 years…. Anyone think more or less the next 3 years? https://www.warntracker.com/company/general-atomics
Canada contract = $2.1B
Will the latest $2.1B contract with Canada to deliver 11 MQ-9 Reapers be enough to keep GA-ASI afloat and avoid future layoffs?
Life has improved so much since I left GA
I highly recommend it. The grass is much, much greener on the outside.
I had a phone interview with a General Atomics hiring manager two weeks ago. I thought the interview went good
Last Friday a General Atomics Human Resource women called but I was too busy to answer. The HR women left a message on my sail phone asking me to call her Monday morning. Is that a good sign that the HR women called and left me a message to call her... — read more

Does GA monitor WFH?
My coworker who WFH is away from their computer for hours every day. 3-4 hours most days. Don't ever see them working past their end of day time. Always has a reason why late with work. Been going on a long time. Doubt anyone at GA monitoring WFH... — read more
Too good to be true
I heard a rumor from someone that went to an HR Q&A session that in an effort to copy the UK’s work environment and increase productivity here, GA might go to a 32-hour work week with every Friday off and only 8-hour work days while still keeping the... — read more
Food for thought
If GA is so poor and cannot afford to pay workers COLA in America’s most expensive city, let workers WFH and move to affordable areas. Most people would take a salary reduction to WFH permanently!
Looking at 2024
Heard that medical costs for employees are going up a lot for 2024. Sure things are more expensive, but the owners pay less of the bill each year. Not sure why a multi billionaire needs to squeeze the worker bees to save. Not like there are... — read more

GA switches retirement company from Vanguard to Empower
Does anyone know why? Is this a cost cutting initiative?
GA-EMS people—Scott Forney has no idea what he’s doing.
GA-EMS has no direction and is hemorrhaging money, and the issue starts at the top. I’m not sure how GA-EMS has not been absorbed by another company yet, but it feels like it has to happen at some point.
Merger coming??
Rumor has it that GA is postering for a merger with another large defense company. Thoughts??
We need to focus on what we're good at
GA promised no layoffs. GA promised the future was bright and hired a bunch of people in 2019 to handle the massive orders of 2020 - all orders were cancelled and massive layoffs followed. GA has never been a leading edge defense company and has... — read more
GA Sucks
I am truly working with the d-mbest and laziest people I have ever worked with in my life! It’s hard to believe this company is still in business
Work Life Balance still good post layoff
Love the work life balance here at GA even after the layoff. Really proud of working here! Hence, why I give them 5 star reviews on Glassdoor and encourage my coworkers to do the same! :)
