CSW has posted a job in SLC for VP of Business Development and Strategy. Rumor has it that L-3 leadership has no faith in the current CSW business development staff, and that business is definitely drying up (an early indication of layoffs to come). Realizing the previous hires for this role (Claude comes to mind), is it smart to plow more money into yet another VP when the issue may be the lack of decent products to sell, not which VP's name tag hangs outside a vacant office while he commutes back and forth (at L-3 expense) from San Diego. Smart? I'll let you decide...

I hereby officially endorse Mr. Fuwkes, having read his most recent post reading thusly:
"Having your Bishop recommend you for a job is like having Guy Fawkes recommend you for a Community Watch program. One believes in mythical tablets and philandering prophets (who moonlight as magicians - WTF?) and one believes in "revolution, protest, and anarchy" and cute little masks with adorable smiles and well-groomed mustache. Let me tell you a secret: none of you are employable. Not the engineers. Not the PMs. Not the HR zombies or the IT geeks. Not the sons of employees, not the U of Phoenix grads. Not even Susan (Mucho) Dinero. Get a real education at a real school, get some real experience at a real company, get a real life in a real state, get a real belief system in the realm of reality (no, bullet-proof undergarments, planets in the afterlife, and "sealed in a temple" doesn't count). "
Brilliant, accurate, and more than true. Consider me an acolyte.

Its easy to blame BD. How about crappy product that takes too long and cost too much. Nah that cant possibly
be why the sales are down and competitors are taking the business. Bd strategy is the phone is rining. Then you got an engineering that has snniffes their own ass for so long rhey think they are shit hot. Fact is you are some of the least talented engineers in thevmarket. Wonder why you cant find another job. I got an idea lets build another rover. You get what you pay for. Lack of planning for future, lack of leadership, bunch of kiss ass mormons promoting their own. Incomptence all around. You are all too blame. You dug it, maybe your f***ing bishop can give you a recommend.ex
NEWS ITEM: The Salt Lake City division of L-3 communications has decided to replace its entire marketing or "Business Development" department with a pair of dice, a deck of cards, and a dartboard. New hires from the business department at Weber State U will operate these high tech devices in order to identify business opportunities. "It may seem unusual," said new division president Guy Fawkes, "but it is really cheap, and can't be much worse than our previous approaches." L-3 is considering expanding the idea to other divisions in New Jersey and Mombasa, Kenya.
HR Molle (that's right - "Molle" not Mole) confirms these latest allegations.
