When can we expect the next wave of layoffs?
401K match
Does Gulfstream match the 401K the vocation pay-off portion when you get lay-off? Is any one know ?
Record your "Its Permanent Call". Legal to do so without their consent.
Do not say anything, do not agree to anything. Just listen, then hang up.
SAP
It's too late now but the ugly truth is GAC could have saved a lot of jobs if they had the foresight to call the ball and terminate a program that was doomed from day one. They have spent millions on this program and it's know closer to coming on... — read more
You have 21 days to decide to accept severance
Just fyi: In many cases employees are pressured into signing the severance agreement without a proper notice period. Under the protection of the ADEA, employees have a time period of at least 21 days to consider whether or not they should accept... — read more
GAC will be the epicenter of a second wave
Return for non-mx folks looks like its happening by June. Putting more people in danger prematurely all because the kings of the castle dont feel like kings if they cant physically see who they are ruling. BT can see that we work more from home, so... — read more
Last pay check for unused vacation time
Does anyone know if it will be mailed to our house? I just checked and it was not direct deposited. $0.00 net pay this week if it is not sent by mail. I have still not heard a word from anyone except for the first phone call and the big... — read more
IEF bookclub?

Sweet Ride
GAC + FAA = love in action.
Help with Unemployment Income
Hi, GAC HR isn’t responding... so maybe someone knows. They said they applied for UI on our behalf. How are we supposed to get the money ? There is a pin to setup/reset on Georgia DOL, but it doesn’t seem to work. Anybody successful ?
Withholding Temperature Readings
They are still taking temperatures at the door. Yesterday I asked what my temperature was and the person taking it said “we aren’t allowed to tell you guys anymore” ..... Is that even legal? The temperature readings are not accurate. There were a... — read more
Chances of lay-off rescinding
So I’m sure everyone got the standard “lay-off is final unless rescinded before 15 May”. Do you think there is any chance they will call us back? If so, when?
Weekly Unemployment?
For those affected by the 5/1 lay-off, did you get an email yesterday (5/10) from Gac HR to give them permission to file for unemployment? Apparently, these emails are supposed to come out weekly, and I received one 5/1 but haven’t since.
If you ran your family like corporate America runs their companies
You see the news about the challenges created by Covid 19. You understand that it's going to be tough for the next little while. You look at your 401K and it's value has been negatively impacted. You realize you are going to have to make some... — read more
2020 Employee Evaluation Matrix for Reorganization sent to Managers to evaluate employees for layoff
Does anyone know how to get a copy of the 2020 "Employee Evaluation Matrix for Reorganization" used to evaluate employees to decide who gets laid off? I've heard it targets employees over 50.
Stimulas $$
Does anyone know if GAC or GD took stimulus money? I know of several companies that cut pay by 20% to keep employees, apparently this was not an option?
Do we even have an alternative?
People who have been laid off in the past several weeks, what are your plans for the future? I believe my time might be coming sometime before the end of the month, and I've never been this scared of losing my job. With the entire industry in... — read more
The G650 is trash.
Talk about a classic bait and switch. Customers thought they were getting a next generation G550 but instead got a Bombardier design with oval windows and a clean wing. The G650 design and build quality are complete trash. What customers got is a... — read more
Surviving the greed
In the past, as a lot of us know, employee hours were compressed to address falling revenue. The skill base was kept intact and ready to react to the upswing. Limber posturing by the, at the time, Top Men. Now we have top men playing "whack-a-mole"... — read more
Not strapped for cash
Remember this?
Severance?
Just out of curiosity... Does anyone have any clue as to what the severance will be.. I'm sure it's based on yrs if service...

Survey Decided who's Laid Off
Apparently there were at least two surveys that managers filled out with who gets laid off. Good thing to know for those getting lawyers.
Pensions???
Anyone who was let go and vested in a pension...are you able to see it on Fidelity website? Mine is showing that info is not available. Yet, several days ago it was there. Of course my mind is jumping to GAC trying to hide the amount I'm owed. — read more
Pilots
Did any of the pilots get furloughed or laid off? In my amateur opinion, that organization is bloated and coddled. What a great gig to have though...stay at home on rest when you are not flying. I am sure it is more involved than that, but couldn’t... — read more
Remember the Gulfstream experience?
Ah yeah the good ole days. Customers gladly paid a premium for an average product because the people serving the customer really believed in the company and it’s mission. Those days are long gone. Corporate raiders came in and milked the brand dry to... — read more

This Could Have Been Gulfstream's Finest Hour
After the last two rounds of lay-offs, Gulfstream was lean to the point of bloody. There was no fat. The people who were left literally lived, breathed and unfortunately died for the company. The people who were left were the best of the best. ... — read more
Ego Fueled Greed
At the end of the day, it's the intracompany politics that have poisoned the well.
Ebbs and Flows of Business
These are strange and difficult times we live. My thoughts and prayers are with those who have been affected by the latest RIF. Do not allow this company or any for that matter to dictate your worth. Use this opportunity to improvise, adapt and... — read more
I'll be happy if I'm laid off
This place has been going downhill for years. This management has managed to completely ruin what was once a great company. Employee morale has hit rock bottom and I don't see it improving any time soon. If it was any other time, I'd be on my way out... — read more
Business as usual
Just a week after the layoffs in building x already working Friday overtime. They are keeping it hush though. Wouldn’t want everyone to know.
I get it
I get it. Without giving away my identity, I’ve been with Gulfstream for a while. Company has treated me very well at times and very badly at others. I don’t think anyone wanted this lay-off and I’m really torn up by some of the names I hear were... — read more
So long thanks for all the training
I was laid off after 18 years. After much thought I realize it’s the best thing that ever happened. I enjoyed the group of people that I worked for and stayed there when I could’ve made more money. Also believed the company had integrity and... — read more
