Elon wouldn’t but sh-t of a company
Why would Elon want to buy a garbage company whose only working satellites are old ones?
Daddy Elon needs to come and save this dying company
Family my a-s
Elon would have the guts to clean house.
I would welcome it
At this point…. It can’t get worst then it is if Elon bought the company… right?
Imagine ….. Elon was the one complaining about Viasat buying Inmarsat ….
Then he buys essentially both companies lmao
Waiting for Elon to just buy Viasat now is the time lmao
How do people still want to work for a company that lies to go face and has multiple RIFs within a year lol
Layoffs where? Wonder if they have started in Carlsbad yet or if they are waiting till 9.
Just got laid off today. Senior guy in engineering development. Was told today is black wednesday.
Layoffs today!
I mean someone noted security is all cost. The way we calculate things here, engineering is a cost center too. Definitely not ideal, no one wants to be in the cost bucket when its cutting time...
Not sure why I’m seeing Wednesday, I mean right after the shareholders meeting, which is odd….
I’m hearing this coming Monday… and gonna just be like the last group of layoffs.
So do it the day after a shareholder meeting? Why? They would probably get a stock boost doing it before the 7th?
Timing is getting more odd...
8th is the date.
Per source
What exactly is your source for having a layoff next week/Wednesday?
Layoff coming next Wednesday
Layoff next week!
L3 is all gone now?
Heard another person from the security team got let go. Makes sense, security/facilities cost $$$$ and don’t make profit.
I keep seeing bots on these threads playing damage control lol
Hilarious and sad
That person doesn't realize that contracts can sometimes fail to renew, and the govt awards the contract to someone else.
What’s up with is this copy/paste comment under me? Looks like someone’s doing damage control…
Inmarsat was bought, largely, because of their established contracts. I think good will come from that. Also once VS3 flight 2 is launched and bringing in revenue, Viasat will catch-up. A runner can trip and fall and still get back up to win a race.
Viasat stock is at $15….
Yeah not looking good…

A related cross over with L3Harris Layoffs to be sure. If Viasat spins your group off beware. The grass isn't always greener.
Look at the stock. YOU ARE DONE FINISHED!!!!
Keep this thread alive
It’s entertaining

Oh boy, got a zoom meeting with PNC and my supervisor in the morning. Still have network access still so that’s a good sign….
Right?
This page is starting to feel like Reddit…
How do some of the replies here have over 30 votes? Never seen that here before.
“Best Places to Work for U.S. Large Employers list”. What a load of bs.
To does managers and pnc reps lurking on this site.
**** you
it’s gonna be a blood bath. I wouldn’t be surprise if I get let got and replace by either a temp, intern, or even a contractor. Signs are all there…
I hope they give me the dignity of laying me off in person….
Heard they were canceling your badge and network access, then call you out of the blue.
Can’t they just get this over with…
I’ve seen this at my last job. When the company was in debt, a lot of supervisors and managers sent up false complaints to HR resources to get employees fired so their job can be safe.
HR wasn’t doing their due diligence since it was an easy way to save money….
I repeat…. DO NOT TRUST YOUR MANAGER OR SUPERVISOR.
They ain’t your friends, and will dime you out in a heartbeat to save their own skin.
So many rumors from people that have no idea what’s actually going on.
