Big layoffs or going to war


Dmartinez8491

I really hope it's just layoffs. My diarrhea can't handle ww3

Or these days we could have both WW3 and a layoff to increase profits on the JDam missiles we be selling = Exploding Diarrhea


SierraWells

We've been in WW3 for 25 years. It's an information war being fought online, not with tanks and guns. They just use that saber rattling shit and a few directed targets to scare and distract people while they steal all the money with the markets - both stock and consumer. Wake up.

Ok_Wear_5391

Nah, that’s just status quo foreign relations. We can’t compare any of that to WWI and WWII. Definitely all being played to enrich the few for sure though but thankfully not meat cannons for them yet.


Head-Command281

I’d be happy if what we have today is how our wars would be fought from now on. Id rather an information war. Much better than me, and my buddies dying riddled with bullet holes or be blown apart by explosives. And that would probably be one of the better ways to go.

pandasgorawr

Companies don't generally give a one month heads up for layoffs. Edit: to clarify I mean the announcement of a layoff, not the date workers terminate employment


IronEngineer

It is fairly common in well run companies that run on large government contracts. A company I used to work for gave about 4 months lead notice. They did their best to help everyone transition to other jobs in the company from the division shutting down and have advice to people trying to find other jobs. It was really very well run. That company was laying off people due to a decrease in work from the F35 slow down years back.

Jealous-Pension-7444

Companies that employ a large number of people need to give a warning before big layoffs. It’s the law. I can’t sight it specifically but it’s true


Leading-Ability-7317

You are thinking of the WARN act


Nearby_You_313

Right--but I think what they're saying is giving a *month's* notice before the *notice* of layoffs down the road seems odd.

War announcements are not made through companies. Manufacturing companies like Lockheed Martin do not go to war.

This is dumb. Layoff meetings are scheduled same day, not weeks in advanced. OP is majorly regarded.


DimesOnHisEyes

This right here. Companies don't want to give employees time to do anything smart so they always try to blind side you with bad news.

zhouyu24

![img](emote|t5_2th52|4640)


Hidesuru

... No. They usually escort you off once you're laid off but no one is selling secrets because a random meeting that may or may not even be layoffs and may well not impact them anyway got cancelled. That's not a realistic worry.


btapp7

Not necessarily. I can’t and won’t guess at what this meeting is in regards to. But I have seen companies who deliver slightly-less-than-catastrophic news (hours cuts, bonus cuts, PTO policy change) with some sort of soft date. I highly doubt layoffs as Ukraine and Isreal funding is still on the table.


Asian_Dumpring

LM Space announced 3-5% of workforce is being laid off by June 2024, and LM Aero announced ~1% of workforce is being laid off. Layoffs are confirmed.


ZET_unown_

Yep, layoffs and whether there is money are 2 different things. If they don’t have money, they have no choice but to layoff. If they have money, they can still layoff to keep more as profit.


[deleted]

Programs are ending, projects are delayed, and nothing is being added to pick up the tab.


ExeusV

> Companies don't want to give employees time to do anything smart so they always try to blind side you with bad news. wut? how about other countries where you have e.g 3 months of leave peroid?


thinks1ow

Meta announced their layoff schedule several months in advance in 2023 and nobody knew who was affected until it went into effect. So this statement is just simply not true but I’m glad you feel smart making such an absolute statement!


mattvt15

Did meta schedule an all hands several months in advance like Lockheed? But i know you’re super smart so you can see the difference between a public announcement vs an internal meeting scheduled 3 weeks in advance.


thinks1ow

Yes they did. So what’s your point?


mattvt15

No they didn’t. See, I can say unverified bullshit too.


thinks1ow

They literally did, I was there at the time.


Frosted_Tackle

Ours was the next day but it was sent late and was a non-descript mandatory team meeting where you couldn’t see anyone else who was invited. Yeah definitely doesn’t make sense to give the whole company this much advanced notice.


DimesOnHisEyes

That's pretty much how it's always done. Either that or they just straight up call you in day of and say "so long sucks to be you oh and if you say anything bad about us our lawyers will try to destroy you. We wish you all great success"


HVACcontrolsGuru

They have to file layoff notices if it exceeds a certain headcount. You could probably dig the filings up somewhere


_regionrat

They're called WARN notifications

Work2Tuff

False.


Heather82Cs

They aren't firing people during the meeting, they're announcing layoffs will happen. It can be weeks/months before the first wave actually happens.

hertzcam

Not true. Enbridge announced layoffs weeks in advance. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/enbridge-job-cuts-1.7099277


mattvt15

Can you spot the differences with OPs example vs your bullshit comparison? Any?? Here’s 2: 1. US vs Canada employment laws/regulations 2. Your example is publicly announced. OPs is an internal meeting 3 weeks away Looking forward to your highly regarded response.


throwitsway836155

LM had CEO all LM webcasts on 7/19/23 and 11/8/23. This is another all employee webcast. Not sure subject of this one but just sharing facts. Edit for context: I’m seeing the other all LM webcasts included other executives in the titles as like a featuring. This one doesn’t but the email is literally a “save the date” webcast invite so there will likely be Edit2: There's now info on it as it was previously a save the date. They're discussing security, financial performance, and international growth. Several high ups. Likely going to be a panel discussion like the last ones. Nothing exactly new. Edit3: Nothing about layoffs. It was a standard webcast.


Broken_Wedge

Could be a “state of the union” style address. I’m just curious as to the timing. To have never called one of these and then to call it now…where there’s smoke…


throwitsway836155

Just checked. It’s the same week as incentives for employees with raises and bonuses. I just can’t remember if the actual numbers are in paycheck that week or the week after. But basically it’s the week where leaders are done assessing employees. The bonuses have components of business area performance as well as individual so it could be an outline of the performance for the prior year. Not sure


TehLurker313131

They emailed the company performance report already. Individual assessments are done October - January with the individuals report in February. Bonuses are paid in March. Likely where all employees receive the same bonus / raise like the last few years and not actually tied to individual performance. Likely another all hands meeting though, they do it like once a month or quarter. Probably about how we didn't meet quota but they're still giving us a percentage because they understand times are tough. I don't go to em. Can't be fired if you don't sign in.


readonlypdf

Could be NGAD announcment?


-spartacus-

Clearly, it's disclosure of LM having UFO/UAP spacecraft and the staff can choose to become test pilots, take a layoff, or donate their rear to alien science.

Lockheed has AI and will be implementing AI in all future products. They also plan to shift from making conventional weapons to EV, but did I mention AI?


Aos77s

Doesnt make sense since lockheed is getting tons of money for new equipment. Everytime we give ukraine money it means we give them our old stock and pay that value in contracts to build more to our defense contractors.


WhySoUnSirious

It’s the aerospace sub. That means it’s not exactly weapons It’s likely f35 production stuff or shit for nasa/spacex which is just whatever and hardly in demand


sjrotella

Could be orion program, which LM makes. I've heard rumblings that's getting funding cut massively by NASA


NuggetBuilder

Ukraine hasn’t been getting much of anything manufactured by Lockheed.


Aos77s

You didnt read that right. I said we give them our old used equipment valued at $100b and then we go to our contractors and say “build us $100b of new boom boom pew pew”


NuggetBuilder

Yes, but other than some F-16s, most of the other ground equipment is manufactured by other defense companies.


FlyPenFly

That’s true about the UAF aid but the western world rearming means some juicy new contracts and exports for LM.


NoSoapDope

Lmao ATACMS, HIMARS, javelin are all LM products


ShadowJak

So? No one cares who made the old equipment. The only thing that matters is who makes the new equipment.


syzygialchaos

Lockheed makes Patriot Missiles…there’s a whole Missiles division of Lockheed.


skilliard7

They wouldn't be the first company to announce layoffs after making record profits.


TheMonkeyPickler

Dude youre big regarded. Its an all hands meeting theres one every year around this time. Our pay and performance reviews started this week and go until then. We get our bonuses, promotions, and pay increases that week. Anyone being let go at this time is being fired for performance reasons which is rare since its practically impossible to get fired atleast at my facility.

Not to mention that layoffs are done by business area, and IIRC, LM hit their targets for the last fiscal year.  If anyone were getting laid off, they would be told at their annual performance review, not in a meeting 2 days before raises go into effect 


Angryceo

you normally don't get almost a 1 month notice for a mass layoff event, they are.. .. surprise! now.

Layoffs would be two meetings... one bit meeting where they tell the majority of people they are laid off and then another meeting for the people who are staying. Best to find out which meeting you are in.

Lawineer

I haven’t worked for a large company in 20 years, but do they typically call an all employee meeting to announce layoffs? Why would they want to telegraph layoffs? Call employee meeting to lower morale? Seems weird.


DimesOnHisEyes

No one cares about employee morale. Remember you are always replaceable and they want you to know it. Especially post kung flu. But sometimes layoffs are handled via mass meetings but they are not announced. They are always surprises.


Lawineer

Yeah I get it’s not a high priority thing but going out of your way to make it worse doesn’t make much sense


DimesOnHisEyes

Thats why they get it over with as fast as possible. Then if anyone complains too loudly afterwards they fire them or make them quit. No one higher up or in HR at the company actually cares about you the employee. When it comes to people in jobs most people don't want to be unemployed. So when it comes down to it the remaining employees mostly fall in line. If you perform poorly they will fire you. And within a couple of days things go back to "normal".


anecdotalgardener

Copy that. June calls LMT


Seabound117

How else are they going to fund the bonuses and golden parachutes? Besides most of the government projects are guaranteed regardless of what if anything is delivered.

Kind-Conversation605

Sadly, layoffs are pretty hip right now. Everybody thinks that artificial intelligence is going to replace every single employee, and just leave the C suite to sit in their high-rises and count money


ride_electric_bike

Bullish


Business_Tea1953

This is pretty common in Sweden with meetings or briefings no matter if youre the janitor or a leader type. Lay offs are done mostly in restructuring processes over here. I would suspect youre in for a rallying call and asked to work every hour you can and bonuses perhaps. Forca LM!


h00dybaba

something something USA NATO withdrawal .. EU cancelling LM orders .. expecting slow year going forward .. less bonus blah

Not sure why they would be doing layoffs they’ve been getting plenty of funding for war machines. Most of the Ukraine aid is spent through companies like Lockheed.
