So what is the price of oil going to do to sales? How long before we see layoffs again like 2008?

I am hearing rumors of furloughs due to parts shortages. Anyone hear this?

So...they r 3D printing parts so they can put stuff together...but all is good right....who r they kidding.

If I leave before TSP Plus and performance bonuses are paid will I still receive either of them?

I've been here a long time and that's why it's so hard for me to leave. However, I am now seriously considering leaving next year because I am no longer satisfied with the atmosphere in this company. I was even thinking of accepting a lower paid... — read more 

The January 4th Vaccine Requirement for Textron has been postponed.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, now get back to work.

14 percent of textron east and west campus are not vaccinated....you are going to need to hire more than 900 people.

Our manager expects others to read his mind. This is a place that could never, or at least as long as I have worked here, be praised for good communication, however, the situations that we have now due to poor (or no) communication are awful... — read more 

This thread is for info about potential Textron layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

I'm trying to find a few reasons why I would stay here, but it's difficult. I may be exaggerating, but from my perspective there is no longer any reason why anyone would want to be here if they had any other opportunity. Maybe there's a reason I... — read more 

I guess the business groups got through to the White House and got them to move the federal contractor mandate to January 4th so that 4th quarter earnings aren’t impacted by mass layoffs. Question is, will the company actually move their date? — read more 

None of this matters cause the company is handing out exemptions like candy.... Why don’t I have this impression that the company is handing out exemptions like candy? I know a man who has a very serious medical problem and I absolutely... — read more 

So the WH now says no one should be terminated due to mandate and that it was never their intent for companies to fire people for not getting vaccine. Funny how all new contracts have been sent to companies stating if all employees are not vaccinated... — read more 

It may be an individual case, but a colleague who left almost three months ago has still not been replaced. Perhaps Textron is in no hurry to make a replacement, or perhaps there are problems with hiring? I don't know... I wonder what you think, is... — read more 

Are they waiting for the whole mandate thing to play out before doing anything?

It is amazing to me when some say that almost half of the employees will leave the company because of the vaccine. What kind of estimates are those? Terrible. I don't believe at all that many people will leave this place because of the vaccine... — read more 

I wonder if they will stop everyone at the entrance doors throughout Textron and will terminate them without a vaccination record on the spot or I wonder if they’ll do something similar to a layoff? Any word

It’s becoming ridiculous. If any run of the mill employee remotely gets close to non-compliance with HR policies, you are forever doomed. All at the same time we have SLT members blatantly giving tens of thousands of dollars of favors to their... — read more 

More than anything, it worries me that I have almost no work to do. I've never had less work to do. For a long time now, almost all day long, there is nothing to occupy my time. What to do when there's no work to be done and you can't find another... — read more 

Wel, there it is. All employees in a company with a government contract MUST be vaccinated by December 8th. Doesn't matter if u work from home or if you do work on the contract or not. Buckle up buttercup, it's about to get real.

Has anyone heard of layoffs coming in early December?

Vaccine mandate coming due to government contract....put up or shut up.

Orders are up and things are only getting crazier...so why won't HR get out of the way and hire people who don't have aviation experience but have relatable experience? At least that way they can be trained before all he-l breaks loose.

Anybody else starting to feel like things are getting even worse around the leadership team and a different standard for the rest of us? I hear about some teams doing really cool stuff to recognize their teams, but others, not a peep. My neighbor’s... — read more 

Honestly, how much work do you have and how busy are you? There is so little work to be done in my case, that I have nothing to hope for but that they will very soon tell me that I am no longer needed. I haven’t found a better job yet, and I feel... — read more 

Anyone else heard about this? Word is they stopped taking delivery of all acft until further notice.

Textron Aviation - July Shutdown What's the story? What's the rumors?

There was some talk about June...

We were told line moves to west campus by end of 2021, but now some are saying end of 2022. Anyone got more info? Also heard they are going to start a sister line for the Longitude starting next year on West campus.

Glad go see TA has not gone full woke....but it's only a matter of time .

latest rumor has us heading for a cliff since the head cheese just sold a ton of stock...anyone else heard anything?

Feel free to comment...

I can't believe nothing is brewing - somebody must know something?

Will we be required to get the Covid vaccine to keep our jobs?

Someone mentioned in one of the posts that the next logical step that will follow is selling off property. I hope for the best case scenario, but I still think that will follow because there are some things we can do without. And I wonder what you... — read more 

I figure by April or May Textron will consolidate everything over to west campus. No reason to keep east campus and it will save ALOT of money, which they will need to pay back the HUGE loans they took out. Get ready for more layoffs, start saving... — read more
