What's the point anymore, when I could get cut either way.

@1ag age discrimination etc. Is still happening as I type.
Spectrum Superiority leadership is not motivating at all. When the canaries in the coal mine are trying to tell you something, you should listen before they pass out from the lack of air.
When a business unit is profitable, you want to retain that staff, so you can continue that good work.
Enjoy your vacation in San Diego this weekend.
No because most of us left the company already.
@1a1 The 55+ year old “grownups” face real senior bias in the workplace. Example: Corporations offering health insurance pay premiums based on the average age of their workforce. Older workers drive up health insurance costs so employers avoid hiring people who increase the cost of doing business, regardless of the value added by each new employee. Age discrimination is real but rarely discussed. Lower female salaries versus male salaries, for the same job qualifications and tenure, are also real but rarely discussed. Why aren’t corporations required to publish new-hire numbers, s-x, salary, and experience metrics to prove their business practices are treating employees fairly? Employee bias affects morale.
@19z Yes. I see 7 million unfilled jobs. So you may have to relocate or change professions. Tough sh-t. Maybe you have to roll your sleeves up and get a little dirt under your prissy little fingernails. Too fu--ing bad. Do something for yourself instead of complaining like it's everybody else's fault
Time to grow up and get tough cupcake..
@19y have you seen the job market?
Why don't you all quit already?? This whining on this site week after week about a company that clearly doesn't give a cr-p about any of you. But still you persist like anybody gives a sh-t. No company is worth the trouble. If you can't pick up and leave a company like this for something better, then you're a feckless loser who deserves to be treated exactly the way they're treating you.
Fu-k off all of you.
Employee morale at its lowest.
Ten proven and safe steps to total bliss while still employed at 77 River Road:
#1. Show up on time every day but NOT early.
#2. Don't attend any meetings that are optional.
#3. If possible without getting into trouble, skip the skip level meetings. If you're forced to go, sit quietly, say nothing.
#4. Do your job and ONLY your job.
#5. Do not work holidays, weekends or past your assigned regular hours. Do not accept offers to work overtime. (You're not making that much money anyway).
#6. Do not socialize with anyone in your chain of command during work or after.
#7. Do not attend off-site company functions of any kind.
#8. Do not contribute to the "suggestion box" of continuous process improvement.
#9. If asked your opinion, smile, shrug and walk away.
#10. Leave ON TIME every day and take EVERY paid hour off you are entitled to.
Do these things and you'll feel better, sleep better, and probably stay employed longer.
@fa I had a manager who only stayed with the company for about 5 months. Growing more and more frustrated with ridiculous ideas that didn't work, that manager decided to leave. And on their way out they candidly said to me, "sometimes, the most gratifying thing to do with a bad idea is to step back and let it spectacularly fail."
The downside of doing that is I get screamed at by my current manager for not stopping the failure. Even with blind obedience to a bad idea, it's still your fault if it fails
That has been life in Clifton since the merger...
Me! I started acting my wage and following processes exactly as they’re incorrectly spelled out. It’s quite entertaining watching the slow ripple of disorder happening when I stopped doing what I don’t have to do. In addition, no town halls, no lunch and learns, no charge number no cares, no process improvement suggestions that fall on deaf ears, aligning number twos on company times, and hope you have a good day’s that don’t mean its
@a6 FACTS!!!! “No point going above and beyond and all to get a "merit" increase that is below inflation while L3H raises their prices” SO TRUE, all while C-level reap on their generous comp packages that include AIP bonuses, RSU’s, etc. For us at the ground ant level, wtf is the point?????
I’m so very tired. I’ve been busting my a-s for 3 years while they repeatedly shrink my team.
@a7 Testify! Preach the Truth!
You're the MVP!!!
Time for all of us to embrace our inner trusted disruptor!
Let's get some more MVP comments to let OP know the voices of soon to be former L3H employees as we prepare move to a real PRIME contractor!
FAST.FORWARD!!!
I stopped caring about L3H or my job long ago. Gonna coast on the easy money gravy train until I'm no longer here.
Most people feel this way. No point going above and beyond and getting a "merit" increase that is below inflation while L3H raises their prices by inflation plus % to generate "margin expansion" on your back.
I got a new strategy while I plan my escape!!
My MVP strategy is Minimum Viable Performance! My goal is to make it difficult for my manager to give me a meets expectations or needs improvement rating. That way I can scale back my top performer status to match my merit increase. So if they gave me a negative real rate of return raise.. I'll give them a negative real work performance! It's a WIN-WIN!!
Take as long as you need to do a task. Do it right. The first time. Flawlessly. Without shortcuts or cutting corners. Use all the LHX process to benefit YOUR work product and productivity. If anyone asks you to get something done illegal or out process, make the biggest ruckus ever! Drop your stop work card on a red program when you see quality issues. DrOP It LiKe ItS HOT! Excellence, Everywhere, Everyday! Use E3 as your justification why you need more time and report all unethical behavior or harassment!
Make government employees look like they are delivering historic work performances every day!
Don't worry about the warfighter, budgets or schedule. If the government really cared about any of those items, they would have banned L3H from all federal and state contracting.
You do what's best for you and your family. Go work for a company that puts our warfighter and our national security first!
