Amityville site

I am considering a job opportunity at L3harris Amityville, NY. Does anyone know the future outlook of this site and how the work culture over there is? I am seeing there was a building that closed down there this year but what about rest of the buildings? Any insight would be highly appreciated. Thanks


Vasara project

Looking at possibly joining this Vasara team. Anybody have any insights? Is it a good team to join - aka interesting work and good people and well run by the leaders?


Layoff Decision Makers

I'm hoping to hear from HR professionals, former managers, or anyone who has participated in workforce reduction decisions.
Could you walk me through how a typical layoff selection process works behind the scenes at WF?
For example, if a department has 12 employees and leadership has determined that 6 positions must be eliminated due to restructuring, how is it decided which 6 employees are selected?
Some questions I'm particularly interested in are:
Who typically initiates the process and determines the layoff population?

Does the direct manager make the initial recommendations, or are employees ranked collaboratively by multiple leaders?

Who participates in calibration discussions? Are senior leaders, HR Business Partners, Legal, Employee Relations involved?

If a ranking matrix is used, who develops the evaluation criteria, and how much discretion does managers have when assigning ratings?
How are subjective factors, such as leadership potential, business impact, or future fit, evaluated and documented?

What level of evidence is expected to support a manager's ranking of each employee?

Who has final approval authority before layoff decisions are communicated?

Are decisions ever revisited if HR or Legal identifies inconsistencies or potential discrimination risks?

What documentation is typically created during the process, and how long is it retained?

Are managers instructed to avoid considering employees who are on protected leave (such as FMLA), have recently requested accommodations, or have recently filed internal complaints? If those employees are included in the layoff population, what additional review or documentation is typically required?

From your experience, what parts of the process are most heavily scrutinized if a layoff decision is later challenged in litigation or investigated by the EEOC?

I'm interested in understanding both the formal process and how it actually works in practice. If you've personally participated in these discussions, I'd appreciate any insight into who influences the decisions, what documentation is reviewed, and where the greatest amount of discretion typically exists.


Retiring vs Laid off?

Why do some announce they are retiring but you can tell it seems forced? Does upper leadership tell these people they are being laid off and then lie to everyone about the real reason? I have seen this in at least 4 people in the last year. At first I thought confidence but it doesn’t make sense, especially with departure date. Anyone have insight? How is it legal to let someone say they are retiring when they are really being laid off?


Delay in earnings date...

Hmmm Maybe something is afoot. Usually by now the earnings date would of been announced. Perhaps there is something that is just taking a little more time to draft and run by the board? We have been distancing our earnings to get far away from Insight's earnings to avoid dragging the stock down, but this seems quite unusual. They su-k and so do we, but what do you all think? what's the word? where's the beef?


Packages?

So sorry for those who have been impacted this round so far. Any insights on the package they are offering this round of lay offs? I know previous layoffs were two weeks of severance for each year of service. Is it still the same?


Layoffs in BOET?

More and more chatter that there will be layoffs in the BOET org. Several executives have already been reassigned to other organizations, and that is usually a tell tale sign that there are big reorgs and reductions on its way.

Also, a flurry of "secret" off-site meetings.

Anyone with more insight?
