I wish you guys the best. Iam done with the worry. Whatever happens happens.
Subtle Hint
Wish I had access to a couple hundred Target Store shirts to pass out to the employees for Military Appreciation Friday (I.e. red shirt Friday). Wonder if leadership would even catch on?
Eternal job insecurity
That’s what we can expect from now on at this company. I worked at a few companies before Gulfstream and what I can say is when layoffs start in an organized manner they tend to continue for a long, long time. It’s just a constant urge to cut costs... — read more
Maybe we should all just walk off the job..
Could you imagine how stressed they would be if everyone just logged off and walked off the job? The impact would be devastating to GAC. Let alone the press coverage. I know, I know, not realistic. But would be nice to see their faces when a group is... — read more
Would a line level manager know the fate of their employees at this stage?
For example would an Engineering manager know the fate of their staff members, or does a Finance Manager know the fate the Analyst?
A Union can’t stop layoffs, but.....
I have worked at both union and non-union shops. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. One aspect of a union is a collective voice to management. In the past at Gulfstream, management would listen to the concerns from the floor, many of which... — read more
Karma
For those trolls that like to upset others that are sincerely worried about their jobs you will one day get what you deserve. Shame on you for being so mean

It's Building Z tomorrow
A reliable source informed me that it's going to be Building Z tomorrow. The source said that the support personnel are for all intents and purposes going to be decimated. They described it as a "virtual bloodbath" in terms of the amount of people... — read more
Got me under pressure...
Thoughts and prayers go out to all who have been and will be effected. Could be me or another one of our teammates. Congrats (I think?) to those who survive. Not easy but it is the Gulfstream way. Look at the past. It’s 4Q and financials are... — read more
New Vision
The new vision will be to further punish hard working employees for incompetent leadership. I envision more brainwashed management pushing unrealistic management bonus program objectives on their hard working employees. I envision a reduction in... — read more
Repost - BIG BLUE BUTTON: See only active posts
See only ACTIVE POSTS (ones that recently had replies...) ||||||||||||||||||||||||| For new folks here, there is a large "ACTIVE" button right above the first thread... you can use it to see what posts had recent replies.
When is all of this going to stop?
Are we going to be safe then? The uncertainty feeds fear.
Monday
Monday, Monday, Monday! final lists will go out this weekend and the big numbers happen at 3pm eastern Monday. The latest update from one of the HR people that was already let go.
Gulfstream HR rif has happened direct engineers tomorrow
Gulfstream HR has walked out 2 of their employees from Z so that they wouldn't have to walk out employees and then be walked out by their own dept. This whole thing is scummy. Any comments
Come on get the RIF done
Pleae get this RIF done today. Poor employees have been held hostage for 3rd week. This is no way to treat humans The company is not thinking about employees stress.
Productivity in the c-apper at GAC
The engineering VP asked all his little elves the directors to ease frustration amongst the ranks by saying dont worry. This was strictly a request to improve productivity Tomorrow folks it all happens
Pros and cons
Pros of getting laid off: severance package, opportunity to buy COBRA and maintain health insurance for up to the time allowed. Collect unemployment. Cons: many people competing for few jobs. Pros of jumping ship: get ahead of the job hunting... — read more
Is anybody still happy at Gulfstream?
I see so many unhappy people posting here and it makes me really sad. Gulfstream used to be a place where people liked their jobs and actually enjoyed working here... It seems like that has changed for good. And I'm not talking just about layoffs... — read more
More layoffs today
Yesterday we know a few layoffs took place here and there, but from I understand from various rumors and comments I heard at the office, today we'll see the bulk of it. I might be wrong, so if somebody knows more please share. And do we have any... — read more
changes at the Appleton division of Gulfstream
Why the layoffs and elimination of several departments. Gulfstream, Appleton, has an excellent reputation. It has an excellent skilled workforce, highly skilled in aircraft maintenance.
RIF
Angel has made his mark mission critical has gone on AAP program. Now its 5 free hours my ass
Is it a good time to move away from gulfstream?
Some would say wait it out, things will change for the better, but the truth is I can't see any way that things will get better. Personally I would like nothing more than to change a job. Is it a smart move to leave on my own terms and hit the job... — read more
Noticeable patterns???
I asked HR about the WARN and was told it does not apply to us because of a percentage thing. I do know for a fact that it’s not been a percentage for all areas across the board. Some areas got 10% others 30%. The only noticeable... — read more
HR RIFs are today
HR is falling on the sword first. Not pretty ... Losing long-time knowledge and talent. Feeling sad and numb.
Unionize Gulfstream
Lets face it folks. The honeymoon is over. Gulfstream is not the company of 5-10 years ago and they will never go back unless we hold them accountable. Gone are the days where unions did more harm than good. US companies have exploited the situation... — read more
GD management compensation
CEO 20 million a year, Top 5 VP's over 5 million a year. No doubt they are talented but that is insane! Don't believe me- look it up. Gulfstream is s—ing the life out of thousands of hardworking folks and paying "compensation" like this. — read more
Any updates?
Does anyone have any projected numbers or any information in general? I know corporate came into town. What’s the decision?
Is Gulfstream management really surprised?
I’d be shocked if they were surprised at all the complaints and unhappiness that are getting posted here. I’d also be surprised if they knew about 1/4 of the issues being discussed- I think they are legitimately that out of touch. I am concerned... — read more
If you haven’t been let go yet you are fine
Stopping all the rumors and badmouths that apparently want to leave. Go. Like just go. Our culture is weak, but I’d bet money you’re contributing to that. So leave. I’ve had 5 strong years with this place. I’m not going anywhere. Tired of the... — read more
Speculation and opinions mean nothing
This is a bad situation, but maybe, just maybe good decisions will be made this time and Gulfstream and employees will come out of it better off. Hopefully, the people in charge will consider the value of those with years of Gulfstream experience... — read more
Doom and Gloom
Tis of interest all the doom and gloom which plagues this website. Heed the illiteracy of many of the posters and deduce their intelligence. Any who have a minute amount of competence can read the GD earnings calls and deduct what is transpiring. ... — read more
