Rumor has it they walked out the VP of Engineering today. He was the chief engineer for G650, the most successful airplane GAC and GD ever had. This is a sad day for Gulfstream, superior Engineering earned our market share. Pres Henne continued... — read more 

I signed a relocation bonus contract about 10 months ago. It is a year contract. I’m hoping to get laid off so I’m off the hook for it. Anything else I can do? I want out of GAC now after seeing this mess.

I see nobody is posting anything so here goes the question? Where there any layoffs reported today? Does anybody know anything?

GAC canceled the layoffs ?

In my view, the data doesn't support 2500 people being let go. That's more than it was in 2015 and we're in better shape today than we were then. That being said, my guess is that one in ten directs will be let go. If you're touch labor, you're... — read more

Stock prices for General Dynamics have dropped from 186 to 172 in the past week. If layoffs were to hold prices for shareholders, all this had done is cause uncertainty in the company. Employees often are the shareholders and now are suffering... — read more 

Just got word that they will be closing doors until further notice. Protect yourselves soldiers.

Haven’t you seen the GD executives flying in? Why is there so much whining? If you own stock you have noticed the sharp drop. If you are aware of your surroundings you have noticed there are no engines. If you are paying close attention the sales of... — read more 

New information to the individuals that are the problem, rhetoric for those too afraid to speak up because they are over compensated for their respective skill sets. The market matured and GAC rested on their lorals of old. Blinded by ignorance and... — read more 

Tomorrow’s a Thursday in October... are they just gonna get it over with? The air has been thin lately... hate that we’ve been waiting for so long already.

They could do the same thing with bots, sending pathetic emails and verbally abusing suppliers over the phone. They could start with firing the booger-eater managers that manage the booger eater supervisors that supervise the poor 20-somethings they... — read more 

Words on the street is that GAC will f— up again and disable badges too early.

Gulfstream will have a new vision

Why can't we post memes here?

Think for a minute about the stark contrast between the 2015 layoffs and the 2019 layoffs. The reaction to the 2015 layoffs was nowhere near to the reactions to the 2019 layoffs. The level of distrust in leadership has increased significantly since... — read more 

GAC has ceased layoffs as they have found proper funding for Q4 of the fiscal year

I mean the real numbers, not the ones that they are going to announce formally. Any idea?

Well there will be 500 directs laid off this Thursday at Gulfstream. It's terrible the employees have to wait like this. You can cut the atmosphere with a knife. They are so inhumane how they treat their employees

If so, I would like to hear what locations, and what are the numbers of laid off people. That is if anyone knows, of course.

We know layoffs are happening in October, but the earliest date I saw mention as a (possible) start is October 10. Plenty of other dates mentioned as well - I'm not saying that's the starting date for sure - but all of them were after. Does this... — read more

It was another classic GAC screw up. The contractors were supposed to all be told by the end of today that tomorrow was they're last day...instead they went and deactivated all of the contractor badges. What a complete debacle!

Been here a decade and a half. Far from my first rodeo with these RIF’s but this one sounds a little different. They say they don’t have a number of people they plan to lay off and they aren’t getting into specifics about areas. I think this... — read more

It's been a good run. Wishing everyone the best.

I surely hope they keep in mind that women are the minority. A diversified workplace is important.
