How is employee morale at Gulfstream these days?
I left three years ago and even then things were less than rosy. I stopped by this page to see how the company is doing amid the pandemic and it looks to me that things have only worsened - significantly! I hate to see it, since so many of my former... — read more

FSDO LB/GAC
Do we have any of our guys working at FSDO as liasons ? I thought I saw some of ours there in the complex. Will they be safe from RIF ? With all the looming cut backs, are FAA jobs in there also safe ? FAAs don't really lay off people.
July or October?
GAC doesn’t want to signal weakness by a second lay-off this FY. Have heard the same rumors about July and October. But my educated guess is next purge will be after Jan 1. But I am just guessing. Layoffs could still happen again this year. Northrop... — read more

GAC screwed us over- twice
WOW- Talk about a company with absolutely no morals. 1- Was supposed to give 60 days notice if layoff more than 500 employees or provide extra 60 days pay if insufficient notice was given. Instead, they use the COVID-19 excuse to circumvent the WARN... — read more
Week 5 and still no UI benefits.

Gulfstream reported to UI that severance payment money had been received even when severance had not been accepted yet. If you only received the first 3 weeks of benefits and can no longer certify that may be why.
