Thread regarding Gulfstream Aerospace layoffs

No security clearance was required for Job I have at Lockheed, Marietta, production. There is a filter in the site.

@Guy hired at LM in Marietta - do you need (or do you have) a security clearance?

They started treating people this way at about the 2002 lay-off (when discrimination law suit was filed).

I was laid off in1992 and it was nothing like how they did after GD bought GAC.

It’s all about the numbers.

Lockheed in Marietta (supports defense) is hiring. Remember to mention all SAP & Solumina experience. I did 25 years at GAC, and accepted a position with LM.. They moved swiftly and efficiently to include the relocation.

Aw man. Don’t get depressed. If you do they f—ing win. You aren’t alone. They’ve f—ed so many of us. But f— them. We will find work at a place that deserves us. Just keep looking.

I’m getting a little depressed. Been 1 month and no job in sight. Not easy. I remember when my GAC VP told us “you are in the safest place in GAC”. I am sure he didn’t lie. Best of his knowledge. Yet 25% of our department got axed. F*cking company. I gave so much dedication and work, and they k–led us like pork that maybe had the swine flu. Shame on you!!!

To the guy who “got out of Dodge” when they let awesome people like S—-n— go, think I know who you are because I remember you leaving with your stuff even though you survived the blood letting last year. Hope all is well! You made the right choice. I also remember you saying you felt like the rat deserting the sinking ship when you moved on. You were right about the ship sinking, but no one left thinks you are a rat. It’s like a funeral around here with lots of empty space for social distancing with all the people canned. Shoot me an email or find me on LinkedIn. and let’s connect for a beer next time I’m down your way. I’m using the same one. Cheers!

When I saw the caliber people let go last fall, I cleared out my office the next day of resources and valuables I didn’t want to lose, tuned up my resume and got out of dodge. S—s for you if you didn’t do the same. Takes a while to recover from the PTSD, but it’s such a load off to be out of that toxic environment.

Just add the value of you stolen property to your law suit.

File a stolen property report.

I feel the same. I have been on this website for years, and seen 4 layoffs... I notice there are a lot more anger and messages this year. I think everything there has been absolutely no sh– given to us. Hell, they had to send an email about unemployment when they got many emails about people not getting their paycheck. How hard is it to send an email to people "You will have to make a new claim". The only time they communicate, it's to ask for things from us. The Gulfstream Family.

I felt embarrassed and ashamed. I was ashamed of Gulfstream, and somewhat, of myself. Like previously stated- aviation is a small world.

FYI, those of us laid off in October were not allowed to pack our things either. These dehumanizing policies are courtesy of the head narcissist in HR.

Agree 100%. Why couldn’t they have treated us like the highly-skilled professionals we are? Don’t we deserve the same respect and dignity they would like to have from us as we move on to suppliers and competitors in this VERY close knit aerospace community?
