Just got ambushed into "the call" this morning under pretext of a different subject. Laid off after many years at PW of exemplary performance ratings. Doesn't matter what I was doing, I was just a number in the end.

For those legit people on here, go to RTN Broadcast, search for “Q&A with Greg Hayes and the BU presidents” published on September 22. About seven minutes in, Greg says that the layoffs are pretty much done and the communications are... — read more

Any ideas if this might be a bigger round?

Today is the day. I was zoom-meeting laid-off today.

If you're about to be laid off, there's nothing you can do to change that. Nothing. Everything has been decided for us, all we get to do is wait for the news. So if you can't change the outcome, why worry? Why cause yourself unnecessary stress? All... — read more 

Are corporate credit cards deactivated and accounts closed out prior to layoffs? In prior layoffs, corporate accounts were closed out a few days before layoffs. I do not have a corporate card currently so can’t check to test this theory.

I've been incredibly busy with my work since early September, my whole group has (we are pretty small however and a partner group of ours lost 40% of people to the VSP). Any not busy or are things slow? I heard some people had stop work orders — read more 

They are trying to break us, get us to quit on our own. As many as they can. This anticipation is unhealthy and they know it. And the more of us decide to leave, well, that's more money they don't have to spend on severance. Well, I'll be damned if... — read more 

I am not worried I still have my toilet paper stockpile

If you suspect you're going to get laid off, any chance you could leave work "sick" and use your two weeks paid time for Covid before they can you? Kind of along the same lines, would the company pay us out for unused vacation, AWP, or sick time? — read more 

It also depends on how airliners react. Any thoughts? I think I'm right. Either way, these big layoffs may be delayed???

I know a lot of people are worried about being laid off, but things are not going to be as bad as you think. I've been laid off before. I remember thinking that my life was over when it happened. But then it wasn't. It just went on. In fact, I ended... — read more 

We had to let go 115 people this week due to less demand. All jobs were from customer training center at Hyderabad. Hopefully all workers will find new jobs. There are rolls Royce, GE, Saffron, and other aerospace companies in the area. Good luck to... — read more 

I have not heard of any layoffs besides here and the last couple looked fake So I am wondering if the early reports of Oct 15th to nov 15th were correct

I'm curious, if things pick up again (when vaccine is available and the whole covid thing is behind us) will we be able to get our jobs back? Should we even try or is it smarter to just move on for good? I'm not a glutton for punishment, I just... — read more

I've heard from credible sources that all operations in CT, including engineering and manufacturing will be gone within a couple years. The virus has become the perfect excuse to finally get out completely.

is about to be gone. You know who you are - young or old, new or 30+ years. Looks like Hayes is draining the swamp!

Pratt and collins are in the same boat. We both saw the 15k cuts but they are not freaking out scared, angry. Why do you think they have no posts for 2 weeks and we have hundreds,? My guess is they are being treated with respect and being... — read more 

I'm hearing rumors that the engineering work from the Columbus and North Berwick remote sites will be moved to CT as a part of the restructuring. Seems to make sense with some of the work we're being asked to do. Does anyone have any specifics? Maybe... — read more 

Anything going on in Canada? Let’s not have all the pain.

There is a button "Active" somewhere below. It will show you threads that recently had replies. for example if we had a thread 7 days ago, it's probably burried and you cannot find it. But if someone responds on it today, it'll show on top of... — read more

We had a skip level in HSMC today, the VP said he knew the date when layoffs would be completed, but couldn't release that information to us. Confirmed 15-20% salary employee reduction for EH. At least there is an end in sight to all this.

They just let me go via zoom after 23 years of service. I always had amazing performance and never had issue. Not a significant Package. Department Engineering. Location EH - new engineering building. God bless you all. Hopefully everyone will... — read more 

Anything happen today? I’ve heard this will continue until Oct 15th
