Thread regarding L3Harris Technologies layoffs

The Didn't Earn It hires are all that's left. Another acronym for this company's future is RIP . Goodbye L3HARRIS.

"DOGE provides a very tempting place for terminated employees to blow the whistle on the blatant waste practiced by this company."

You forgot to mention fraud. That's what it's called when "Didn't Earn It" employees are charging time to work done by someone else.

Boeing has already scaled back its' "Didn't Earn It" hiring practices and so have many other companies dependent on government contracts. But, L3Harris has buried itself so deeply into this now dead political fad that it is unlikely to extricate itself from the self-imposed quicksand.
Also, DOGE provides a very tempting place for terminated employees to blow the whistle on the blatant waste practiced by this company.

What will they do with all of the Didn't
Earn
It
employees now?

Im still glad i quit that f---ing company. Go burn yourself down. Its a dumpster fire.

Contractors will still have to demonstrate that they comply with non-discrimination laws, so don't stop taking your required video training just yet. The key point here is that even if companies shut down their DEI offices and reassign their Chief Signaling Officers, they will still need to search high and low for the best talent.

So no layoff news, wow what a great post. Who cares about DEI? What will you do now that you can't blame the what-you've-sluthed as a diversity hire for your work performance?

One of the new executive orders signed on January 20, 2025 say in part:
"To carry out this directive, the Director of OPM, with the assistance of the Attorney General as requested, shall review and revise, as appropriate, all existing Federal employment practices, union contracts, and training policies or programs to comply with this order. Federal employment practices, including Federal employee performance reviews, shall reward individual initiative, skills, performance, and hard work and shall not under any circumstances consider DEI or DEIA factors, goals, policies, mandates, or requirements."
Obviously this will spill into defense contractors who want to stay in the good graces of the new government.
Buckle up.

After years of identity hiring taking priority over merit hiring, L3 has a tarnished reputation. The new challenge for L3 is to convince job-seekers that they are going to be judged by merit and not identity. For years, the vetting process for technicians was a mechanical aptitude test that included a working knowledge of English. That was tossed a few years ago in favor of a more "inclusive" process.
In other words, everybody gets a trophy.
Unfortunately, while that process checked off all the right boxes, it didn't produce the skill set necessary to produce a quality product at a competitive price. The most damaging effect of this practice was the loss of so many well-seasoned, skilled employees who were either driven off, laid off or forced into early retirement who will never come back.
Having a stated goal of 50% female and 33% people of color means only 12% of its' future employees will be Caucasian or Asian males. (31% of the U.S. population are Caucasian males and 3% are Asian males.)
That seems pretty damn far from equal opportunity doesn't it. If you are a job-seeker talented in the art of electro-mechanical assembly, test and design, you would do well to avoid this company. They clearly don't want you.

Compiling my list of DEI's to help this most diverse company to be successfull!

L3 Harris will have to amend their diversity programs to be more aligned with the new administration. Even though it is not a branch of the government, it is dependent on government business as a defense contractor. It would do L3 well to stay in the new administrations good favor. We can predict major changes in human resources.

Does that mean they're going to hire back all of the people that were displaced by it? And what about all of those extra hires?

too late

Great News!
