JPL layoffs

[regor]

There is a 60 days paid period, so officially her fuck off date is April 7th. Good news is those 60 days put her over her anniversary, and her severance is based on 17yrs vs 16. Still, 17yrs at a company, and they are disrespectful enough to terminate via an email? I'm more upset about that than the actual termination!

Were there any Metrology Department layoffs that you're aware of?

Nothing I know of. 530ish total, 52 systems engineers. From the conversations I overhear, it has been a bit here, a bit there.

Sorry to hear about the circumstances you're dealing with and I agree with you on the email BS.

Bummer to hear! Hope there is a silver lining in this for you.

I just can't wrap my head around sending an email to lay people off. One company I know of, laid off 500 people via email sent early on a Monday morning. Some of those laid off had 20 to 30 years with the company.

Hate to say it but if you don’t keep yourself relevant in a large company anymore this can happen.

Tell her to look at GD we are hiring Eng all the time. Most of them are remote too

Interesting, glad it's proving gratifying for your daughters Chem teacher.
I had a HS Chem teacher who was a recently retired Chemist for Richfield Petroleum. Nicest guy you'd ever meet and a true Mr Wizard.
His class room demonstrations were off the hook cool and that was one class I always looked forward to --- for the couple of months he was there.
Poor guy was not prepared to deal with the few smart-ass students who refused to show him any semblance of respect and appreciation and instead took advantage of his friendly nature. He was simply not prepared to control the few class clown morons and once that crew discovered his vulnerability, were relentless and no amount of peer pressure would keep them at bay.

He tried, but quit having obviously not signed up for that bullshit he didn't need in his life.

He gets a few of thoes type but he is usually able to get them transferred to the other class, oddly enough he is also a linebacker/safety football coach here, so he has a lot of students that have his back and most kids know their peers won't allow the disrespect.

One of, if not the most corrupt country in the world! All Ukraine does is provide cheap women and a place for the big dogs of the world to launder their money!

Ukraine is in the middle of the pack, corruption wise. Like Brazil or Serbia. It is slowly, slowly improving.

You don't launder money in corrupt countries. That defeats the purpose. You launder money in respectable countries. That's the point of money laundering.
