The issue is that the cat is out of the bag. The employees know that thousands of heads are going to roll. Lockheed is celebrating becasue it will save a bundle becasue they won’t have any layoff coast but the employees are still screwed and tens of thousands will be let go.
How is LM saving money? If sequestration goes through, given the size of the layoffs, then WARNs will need to be issued to those being laid off. They are just pushing the cost of the layoffs out further.
Sounds like the CEO took a very strong and personal shot at Obama. I seriously doubt that Obama can get 20% of the vote from the employees of LMT.
