I can't speak for the OEM, but the R and O let go of 8 full timers today. There are rumors that it's not over. We will find out tomorrow.
Both band 3
One was year or less, the other less than 6mo
Were they engineers? Seniors? Or new guys?
I only know of 2. But I'm sure there's more than that.
How many
Urbana RIFs happened today
Site closures get warnings. You will have a few months at least.
Its permanent, not a layoff because once youre gone, there is no plan to bring people back. The Urbana Site is not closing its doors.
What is the difference between layoff and permanent departure? Aren’t they the same?
Do you mean the site is getting closed?
It isn't a layoff, it's a permanent dismissal. Urbana had 7 volunteers. They are resizing and restructuring the company across the board. With boeing getting ready (if it hasn't already started) to file bankruptcy, things are getting shaky fast!
I think urbana will be big hit they mostly doing commercial with Boeing

Thanks for the response. I'm an ex-employee but still care very much about the folks there. Good Luck my friend, I wish you and everyone else in Urbana the very best. Stay Well my friend and Stay Safe!
I havent heard or seen anything yet, Im a current employee on site. We were part of the call asking for "Self nomination" for layoffs
