Thread regarding L3Harris Technologies layoffs

@cb

And all the earned KM is to be labeled the scapegoat for the rest of the C-Level and Board level deciding that switching to managed service model for Corporate/IHO IT was a great idea.

It will not surprise me if L3Harris gets bought up by someone like UTC and they slice and dice selloff assets in a firesale and walk away with the cash and collapse the business. That would destroy Melbourne, Plam Bay, Rochester, Greenville, and Rockwall plus more.

@cy Speaking of, she was let go

It would seem we are on the same trajectory as boeing. The greed and micromanagement is high. I say AI can replace all vps and board members and not get stock options, nor large salaries. Maybe then my meager raises could inflate.

Just take a lot at "leadership" background of the executives and the board. Good luck finding engineers and innovators. Its nearly all lawyers, accountants, hedge funders, and people from operations companies making tires, windows, doors, and air conditioners. Power companies and airline operatiins rounds it out.

High Tech, defense, aerospace, or any trusted disruptors? Nope.

Now you see why things continue to operate the way they do. Might as well go back to making a printing press.

@ap AI would probably make better decisions and know more about whats going on then some of the leaders left over after the last restructuring.

@c0 best of both? Try make L3 work like Harris! They are not the best at anything. Struggling to keep up, struggling to keep people.

Just a money machine for investors. Not a trusted "anything". Not a good place to work for anyone who wants stability and a long term profession.
Don't hang on to a ghost. It's dead.

@c2 -“#FailedDisruptor”. Spot on. I like that.

@ct CK pushed previous CIO to outsource, so they started with the help desk. It backfired and resulted in an absolute chaotic disaster. After how bad that went, she couldn’t move forward with the pressure to keep outsourcing. This new CIO was brought on to “”finish”” the “”job”” and the 3 other VP’s that were a part of the massacre wiped their hands clean and laughed themselves over to new CIO positions

@cb If she could outsource all of IT (even IT security) she would do it in a heartbeat to “save” money.

#Joke

@cb

Rumor has it the CIO before Kim left due to her opposition to outsourcing IT.

@c2 - You are 100% correct. I think the only reason Kim M. got hired as CIO is probably because she promised to outsource as much of IT as she could when she interviewed for the job (and we all know how that is going). A job, BTW, which must not have been too appealing since the woman who had the position before her bailed after what - maybe a year?

IT could use a case study too. CIO completely destroyed IT and all the management chain are all clowns who drink her useless kool-Aid. How many times do you need to outsource to different companies and pour hundreds of millions down the drain to make up for your sc--w up?

#FailedDisrupter

Might end up being a good business case study of what can go wrong when you take two good companies that have different operating styles and cultures and try to merge them by taking the best of both. Then pile on a large acquisition. Hopefully it works out but at this point doesn't seem to likely.

Bro, just wait til L3Mehta gets promoted to President of MSL as well. Then why not CEO, CFO and COO too. Get rid of all managers and AI is the overlord. 1 layer org chart. Why not.
