Lockheed Martin reviews about "manager"

In the past 4 years the senior management has removed countless benefits from employees. It started with removal of the coffee, tea and water "because its not in our budget" even though other remote sites still have this benefit. Immediately after this obscene move they stopped paying any employees for overtime "without VP approval" i.e. nobody gets paid overtime. Tthen they stopped allowing employees to book comp time. Tthen they removed hundreds of hours worth of personal business/sick time. here we are today with mandatory unpaid overtime (working minimum 10 hours for FREE) and our treat at the end will be another massive lay off just like they did to the Structures team last year. Sadly this remote site is being ran into the ground by decisions made from managers that aren't even located in Houston.

The possible 4/10 schedule.

The office and bathrooms are unsanitary. Cubes are super small with no privacy. Managers have to share offices.

If you work hard other will take credit for our work. Diversity can be overly sensitive but fair The Silos can really make teams fight each other in IT and other business functions Long hours with no OT pay equals McDonald wages with your small bonus if u get one Their raises are more like cost of living increases The pay is much less then the industry average by 15-20% less Military rules and way too many managers not enough workers in RMS

Constantly outsourcing jobs to subcontractors instead of hiring actual staff. Got rid of pensions and therefore any incentive to stay at the company and not chase the dollar. All these other reviews about no promotions unless you change jobs is 1000% correct. Always shorthanded and an evident refusal to hire enough employees to get the job done on schedule without OT. For non hourly jobs, OT is straight time, not time and a half, and there is a 5 hour gate, so from hours 40.1-45 you earn 0 dollars. Hourly employees get time and a half for anything over 40. Some managers have absolutely zero clue how anything actually gets done and are poor leaders. Low pay - I rejected their first offer and got them to come up about 8k, then within my first year I got a market adjustment raise because it was still too low.

Stressful environment, thick bureaucracy, lack of innovation, lack of benefits. Every manager is ready to “add value”.

Too much politics which affects you ability to advance

Most managers and employees lack international business acumen, slow to drive changes, resources for funding improvement areas, tons of unpaid overtime

The relaxed and comfortable environment breeds less competitive performance. The very restricted environment smothers innovation in bureaucracy and red tape. HR seems content with minimal effort to retain talent, and even less effort to leave an impression on departing employees that would entice them to ever return.
