So I've worked here for 6 years. One layoff that I can recall. Sure every company has to reduce the workforce if a contract isn't there anymore, it does happen. But otherwise, I feel as if this company cares for its employees. The managers that I know, work hard to make sure that happens. Nobody is giving just 10%, everyone I know gives it all. They care. They want a good product, no matter if its defense or for COTS. Just saying, for those who can't stand the job they are in, see if NG has an opening for you.
I come here and read these just to remind me how lucky I am, and feel bad for those caught up in the cycle of RIF's. I've been let go before. It su-ks. Mentally and emotionally. But everytime something better has come along.
