We all recieved inappropriate treatment during the May 1 event. Like everyone else, I was angry. My wife laid off in Oct. That really made me mad. She put up with so much abuse. I've seen her cry in the morning about going to work. I remember her looking at me with tears running down her face and asking "Do I have to go to work?" I feel like a traitor by encouraging her to put up with it. She could have/should have taken gac before the courts. She didn't and was "rewarded" for her faithfulness. She was heartbroken the day she was let go. Betrayed. Abandoned. Shamed. I have zero respect for the PTB. And now, i have joined her. So... if you now find yourself on the other side, please use Fidelity to the full capabilities. That is one aspect I am thankful for. They are great.

I understand full heartedly how your wife felt. It was the same for me. Every morning I cried, and sleepless nights. I have never in my life endured such stress and pain in a job and it all began with a single complaint I filed against a higher up. They attempted to cover it up and so did Dallas. Then for almost two years it was retaliation and harassment in the likes of what I have never seen (all by management). I ended up being part of the last RIF. It was the best thing for not only myself but my family. But this experience has taught me many things and the one big lesson is that your well being is so much more important than a paycheck. There are many of us like your wife and I that struggled so very hard. This is a blessing that we were freed from our prison. Hope all the best for all that have been affected and those that remain with the company.
Hey don’t knock Textron. They are a much healthier company than Gulfstream. They are hiring and taking our laid off guys and are happy to have us.
@Textron guy - what role are you in that is not working out?
Don't come to work for textron if you were not happy there you sure won't be happy at Textron
Sorry to hear. I'm at a large telecom and it's no different here, let alone at any major corporation. We are nothing but a number on a balance sheet. I wish you and your wife well.
