The so called funnels are dried up and the financial reports coming out show RED in all areas for 2022. Red on cash flow, orders, sales, and prospects. The COVID response is to layoff people who are unvaccinated in January. The DPME class has no engineering ability so it is a sure thing that they will be axed as the work force shrinks. Age discrimination is rampant since the older folks dominate the population and most have no skills and subsist on corporate welfare from defense contracts that have dried up. Expect 5 to 10 percent attrition as 2022 opens up, peaking in April when many on going programs will end.
