Throwaway account from an executive. Major layoffs coming next Thursday Oct 30. Notifications should be going out to individual people managers that are affected tomorrow and Monday. I know Collins wide but I’m hearing likely RTX wide at this point. Stay safe out there.

Alright folks, I've been at work for an hour and rumors of layoffs happening today are circulating already. For what it's worth, I'm in Collins.

Good luck today, I wish everyone the best. Fingers crossed.

Edit: I am at an Iowa site, not the main plant. I confirmed with a friend that another Iowa plant laid off their entire 3rd shift. Not sure on exact numbers.

A place for details from actual affected ex-employees.

I was laid off today. M6 with over 2 decades. 60 years old. Entire career in aerospace. Standard severance indicated.

As for me, I am well prepared and was planning to retire early in the next few months anyway, so this is actually a tidy bonus.

I started as a P1 equivalent and have managed people many times over the years, and made the company many hundreds of millions. My biggest gripe, although I understand secret sudden layoffs, is the lack of respect. At some age and professional level and “tenure” I wish the company would allow some time to look for an internal move. But, if you work for a large company you must always be prepared for the boot. If you’re not laid off, that is my one piece of career advice, no matter your age.

My sincere best wishes to those under the boot. Edit: FYI I was in Collins central engineering.

I don’t know much except lots of talk around layoffs, I figured consolidate to a single thread to discuss the possibility of people getting laid off. Which SBU will be hit? How many? Any info?
