Thread regarding L3Harris Technologies layoffs

SAS Clifton continuing to lay people off today. Over 30 so far since yesterday. Still going on.

Layoffs happening this morning. Non-union people only. Looks like middle management and engineering. More tomorrow.

I'm calling out sick tomorrow (Wednesday).. I don't want to be there for this.

When everybody in HR shows up to the office, and security is present in larger numbers, and your supervisor is at a meeting instead of giving you your work for the day, and your union rep is pacing the halls, and the cops are parked by the entrance/exit, yeah, it's gonna be a bad day.

You know you're in for a bad day when cops are parked outside when you get to work. Ask the folks down in Melbourne. They do that when there's going to lay people off in large numbers. This happened yesterday.

SAS in Palm Bay, Rochester and Clifton to be hit the first week in March. Mostly remote workers and on-site workers with too much IDL charged. Operations middle management and engineering will be affected as well as some DL.
The actual number of those being permanently let go is, as of yet, undisclosed.
It's very early in the year for this stuff. looks like it won't be the last round for 2025.

They're not going to lay anybody off here in clifton. They spent all this money rearranging the furniture and putting in a new rug and everything.

3/3/25 - 3/7/25. SAS Clifton. IDL & DL .

It's about time the DEI hires are laid off. First start with the people that do not speak, read or understand English. How about some of the "management" employees that have such a heavy accent that nobody can understand a word they say? They can go too. Next, how about an investigation into the OBVIOUS discrimination of white, black and Hispanic employees in favor of, you guessed it, the people that do not speak English. As soon as this DEI started, the company who would get ON TIME DELIVERY AWARDS every single year couldn't get product out the door. YES! PLEASE! Hire more people that have absolutely no idea what they are doing.

Clifton has to be the only location in the L3 Harris Network that has so-called "engineers"; that never spent a day in college. Glorified assemblers and testers that bullsh-ted their way into a job given them by a director of operations who didn't know what he was doing either. That director is long gone, but the phony jobs he gave to people are still there. Maybe with this round of layoffs hitting space and airborne systems specifically, these phonies will finally be shown the door.

SAS getting hit harder this time. Clifton in the crosshairs

It's much less expensive and a lot less trouble to incentivize people to leave on their own rather than lay them off. This is why the money allocated to managers for pay increases was cut from 5% to 2.5%, and nearly all promotions have been denied. Given that, there is simply not enough money for everyone to get 2.5%. Some people may get 1%. Many people will get 0%.
If you get 0%, the company wants you to quit. Accept that as truth.
If you stay, it's only a matter of time before you get laid off with the next round, which will probably happen in March or April.
There probably won't be any offers of a "package" this time.

L3 Harris is a sh-t company. No one benefits from its existence at all. Hopefully the new administration will find other contractors to provide these services. L3 Harris should disappear from the Earth completely.

That change will come too late for me and many of my colleagues. Caucasian males over the age of 55 who were pushed out and replaced by under qualified people from outside the industry who checked off certain government mandated boxes.

These targeted "stealth layoffs" are probably coming to an end. Future layoffs will be have to be based on qualifications and contributions and not demographics for the company to maintain its' competitiveness. The government mandates about who defense contractors can hire are ending. Most major companies are already abandoning the previous government imposed quotas. L3 will have to begin the tedious task of getting rid of all of the special hires it was forced to make. Special hires that weren't expected to do any meaningful work and certainly didn't. It's a shame so many truly qualified people were passed over and let go because of this soon to end, ridiculous agenda.

A few of the older union members are probably next. It's not like the Union's going to do anything about it. The union president just strolls around the building and grounds smoking cigars, trying to look like a big shot.

It wasn't a layoff if it was just one person. It sounds like a targeted reduction
based on age. That's how layoffs are going to happen in the future. Not large
groups of people but targeted individuals

That's how it works now. "Stealth layoffs." A guy told me he got laid off and was told to go to some "outplacement center" where he ran into a bunch of other people who had been let go. First they were rolled off their programs and sent to some uncleared area from whence they were canned. So nobody they worked with knew what happened.

It wasn't a layoff if it was just one person. It sounds like a targeted reduction based on age. That's how layoffs are going to happen in the future. Not large groups of people but targeted individuals that have reached their maximum level of contribution.

Some sniveling little rat bag wanted the job. Probably offered to do it for less money. That's how L3harris rolls.

We haven't heard about anybody being laid off here. Must have been engineering in another department.

No place for old women either.

Yea a good ridans

I guess you mean good riddance. I know spelling is hard for the educationally challenged. I'm sure it's a problem the previously mentioned engineer did not have. So he was probably the victim of age discrimination. Age is something none of us can avoid my friend. Not even you. But, I suppose you're one of those people that thinks you're going to be wealthy before you're old and you'll be retired before you reach 50. Of course, you will not. You will be in the same position someday, an older person, perhaps clinging to a job that he or she cannot afford to lose. And when they come for you because you're too old, will you receive sympathy? I certainly hope not..

A senior engineer. With many years of service.

L3 Harris is no country for Old men.

“You mean like a real senior dude who was there for freakin' ever?”

Yes someone who’s been here a long time and knows his sh!t. I think he was past retirement age so corporate management probably wanted his high salary gone.

A “fellow” was walked out
