Thread regarding Gulfstream Aerospace layoffs

Mac sac destroyed Boeing also

Why should Gulfstream be any different then any other greedy a– company?

@OP. I was a key person on several on that list. I got f—ed in the a–. No nostalgia here. Just bitterness.

LongtermGstreamer, the same can be said about the rapid advancement of mobile phones, medical equipment, solar energy, and electric vehicles over the past 10-15 years, not sure if your rebuttal is valid.

I hope Gulfstream works out for you and your family, as well as everyone else still at the company. Some of us got sick of seeing leadership run the place into the ground, seeing extremely talented folks get RIFd, and decided it was time to find somewhere better. Yes, better. There is better, just not in Savannah.

Half of the innovations listed occured in the last ten or fifteen years, and the company has been around for over 60. Not sure you've proved your point.

Just wait until it’s your turn to get flushed down the c-apper with your wife and kids looking at you like really??? You gave up weekends and family vacations for a decade to be screwed?

To the last comment, it’s alright to have pride in something and move onto bigger and better, instead of sitting around, waiting on the next RIF, and acting like you don’t have free will. Life is short, the world is larger than Savannah, and believe it or not, there are many other companies out there that actually treat their people right, and will pay you for your skills. Gulfstream is an example of how a company treats you when they know they have you by the balls because there’s nobody else in town. I encourage you to take your skills elsewhere.

Ah the words from disgruntled former employees. I am still a proud member of the Gulfstream team and can't help but think if these folks were too their prospective would be different. It's TRUE there have been layoffs but none of us know the real challenges that huge companies like Gulfstream face and the reasons for the need to layoff employees. With that being said we are STILL the leader and the standard in our class of jets. The employees that still remain like me still have nothing but pride in the products we produce.

Agree CAM2. Everyone who "worked" G500 and milked that mission critical horseshit for 5 years should be ashamed of themselves. Serious lack of talent all around on that plane. The poor performance says it all. They've got good folks on the G700, but its gonna be hard to get out of that death spiral.

Hard not to have hate in your heart when i lived and breathed the 650 program, gave up weekends with my kids, family vacations for a decade all for the success of the company and some 500/600 incompetent a– VP who was handed everything he has shoves us out the door like a f—ing criminal.

It got stabbed in the heart when the G500 took over (flying t–d) and died when they fired all the G650 managers and engineers. Those talented people are all gone and there's nobody worth a damn still there.

This entry is very realistic. These people took our director of qa. https://boomsupersonic.com/xb-1

OP- well stated. I noticed several years ago the the "passion for the product" had disappeared. It started with the influx of mcd onnell do uglas people.
