Lockheed Martin reviews about "layoff"

Company is tied to government spending and therefore there are layoff potentials. Career expansion opportunities often involve ability to relocate

Being subject to poor management, which protects 'club members' when layoffs occur. The company has no interest in retaining the best talent, which has been amply displayed.

The chance for layoffs when a program completes. Some of the contractor jobs are union, which means that performance reviews are basically non existent for highly motivated individuals. There are some slackers who should not be compared to other hard workers at all. Other than that, the union is a generally good thing for a voice in such a huge company of industry professionals. I'm neither for it or against it, I just roll with it because it's mandatory.

Layoffs, open communication and government compliance reviews consistency

When layoffs occur, it comes from higher up so they may not know the importance of the person they are laying off. They should get more guidance from technical leads and management.

Standard issues with large corporations. Too big to innovate.

hired me in for a project that was cancled the day I started. gave me a verbal warn notice for layoff on my first day. reporting manager totally uninvested in helping me integrate into the new team. lots of turn over

Unfortunately, working with Government contracts they run the risk of not being renewed; hence sometimes substantial layoffs can occur.

Layoff and California is far from home
