Yesterday, several former employees reached out to us after being laid off from L3 Harris. One employee of over 40 years told us that she was asked to come to the conference room for a meeting, and unceremoniously escorted out of the building. That was it.
It was reported to us that between 140-200 employees at the Palm Bay facilities alone were let go yesterday.
The following email was sent out to employees.
“We have begun to build a more strategic and cost-effective supply chain, streamlined numerous business processes, and identified additional initiatives to capture savings. We have also concluded that to maintain our long-term competitiveness and accelerate momentum toward our savings commitment, we must take the difficult step of implementing workforce reductions that will impact approximately 5% of our total workforce this year. With these reductions, we are focused on eliminating non-core processes and initiatives, streamlining our organizational structure to maximize efficiency, investing in technology and talent development, and rightsizing our physical footprint.”
