New compensation structure? Or just a hoax

I wanted to know if the salary ranges being increased means that we are able to negotiate based on experience rather than mid point and comp ratio. Especially for new grad hires with this new BS eightfold ai.

Edit: the l2 position i am being offered changed from 73-117 to 70-130k with the new system. Thats a midpoint increase for sure but all comments say they are below midpoint now...

Badging Question

After multiple applications, I was finally given an interview and got an offer!

I was given instructions to go to the Grand Prairie site for badging, then make my way to my actual working site.

Does anyone know how long the process for getting the badge made is? I'm trying to gauge how early I should be.

Also if anyone has advice for new hire it'd be greatly appreciated!

New changes when applying for jobs internally

With the new career hub, the job applications are now asking for your managers name and email address before you submit your application. Anyone know if this means your manager will get an email every time you apply for a position? I know in the past your manager was only notified when you were selected for an interview. Is this still the case?

Got a rejection email

i got a “we will be considering other candidates“ email from a job posting i applied on July 31. The application status stayed at “applied” during the duration of 2 weeks and then the website was upgraded. Is this a true rejection or should I reapply?

Is there more room for negotiating pay for internal in-level moves with the new compensatiom structure?

In the past there has been very little room for negotiating pay for lateral moves within the company. Has this changed at all with the new compensation structure? Or if anyone has successfully negotiated more than a 10% increase, any tips?

Child care

I have 3 children and really need to pick them up from school. I am trying not to put them in afterschool care but know it’s not realistic. Problem is I feel I will be losing money ($1300/month)instead of a gain. I saw LM gives a tax credit of $5k/yr. Debating do I take job and pay for care or stay at current with flexibility and less pay?

Job hiring slow

Was in a meeting earlier with a couple of senior vp’s when the topic of hiring came up. Apparently Lockheed has been losing people left and right (aero specific, unsure about other BA’s). But apparently in like 6 months, they hired around 1k engineers and in that time around 950 people from Lockheed left, so net was 50 employees Gained.

And the way that I think abt it, i’m just not surprised since many people can make so much more elsewhere. I am however surprised that the job security doesn’t retain people.

Company being acquired by Lockheed

My employer is in the process of being acquired by Lockheed. What should we expect in the next year, will our insurance and benefits change right away or will they stay same? How long does it take to get integrated into the various systems? Or do acquired companies continue to operate independently?

New Internal Career website

I’m really having trouble navigating this site; it’s quite confusing. It suggests a job based on skills, but there aren’t any options to choose a level. Whoever designed this should be fired 😆

I knew u guys had a craft that runs on human conscious I can hear it an ur team!!

I posted about this a few times and was told I was crazy well guys apparently I was rite, I can hear ur tech 😁 o man it even shows its self to me I guess I my head I can say I have never felt such a feeling WOW what a machine!! I actually think there r a few and one that actually isn't man made.. well ur dam machine keeps contacting me and wakes me up to go over math? Or something it showed me shapes and wants to connect. I can tell when ur lazing me with something after I posted about this a few weeks ago. Whatever it is it's a wave an I feels like static plus when it's on me I can feel it mapping me out on my bed and an feel it pinning me down 👇. The stranger part is because this thing and me did a ( hand shake) and even got so impatient with me asking stuff it demanding me to apply for a job.. I ACTUALLY DID IT TO. I know I'm not going crazy this kinda stuff has been happening to me my whole life an when I try to ignore it it makes my fingers 🤌 tap to make the connection or hand shake better because I have had no training an my doubt gets in the way an it seems to get frustrated when I pause to ask or "feel" a question I say feel because that's what it's like it's emotionally attached. I' have been interested in quantum physics and meditation ever since I was a kid. I'm sure someone is gonna say I'm nuts, jus maybe ur nuts for not believing that this is something we can do and even more if we use our empathy I have had a lot of strange experiences but this is very unique and keeps happening.

New Careers Site - Remote positions

I know they are actively still posting jobs but has anyone noticed that the remote jobs have scarcely been posted? Before they were transitioning, there were over 20 remote positions for business function I was looking at and now there is only 1 or 2. Are they are delaying posting fully remote positions or reducing them company wide?

Yes, yes I get it - remote positions are more difficult to get into and compete with but I don't live near a hub and have kids in high school so don't want to move anytime in the near future.

IC3 Systems Engineer - Moorestown NJ

I just recently hit my 9 years at the company with pay of ~129k. I feel like people coming in with lesser experience even at IC2 are making close to 120k and new IC3s are well above 130k with lesser experience.

By no means I am an irreplaceable worker in this place but I know I’m well above average. Starting to think it’s time to make a move for better pay if I can’t get into management or chief engineering organizations. Anybody else feel the same way?

Kubasik Out at L3Harris

Former COO at Lockheed who was being groomed for the top job prior to Marillyn Hewson's tenure. It was discovered that he was having an affair with a subordinate, and he was fired.

He eventually became CEO at L3Harris, but has now been fired for undisclosed reasons. He gets no severance, and it has nothing to do with the company's performance but with "behavior inconsistent with their code of conduct".

Guessing a tiger doesn't change his stripes.

Anyone not a fan of 9/80 schedules?

I feel like that extra hour consumes enough of the day. It’d be nice to get out at 3:00 PM instead of 4:00 PM if I entered at 7:00 AM.

How to land a job at LM

I have been attempting to land a job at LM for a long time now, but every single app has been turned down. I feel so discouraged at this point. I have been trying to focus my academics on certain areas specifically to help set me up for a career here.

I have my bachelors in supply chain and operations management, and I’m currently starting my MEng in industrial engineering. I’m 42, so I have a work history that’s mostly in healthcare administration and some work for state government before I decided to switch careers.

I change up my cover letter and resume for every different job posting. Any tips to help me get my foot in the door? I do need to have the flexibility to telecommute due to a disability. Is that where my hang up is?

Air Force Commission Vs Lm Career Advice

Hello everyone! I am currently at LM as a cyber engineer (graduated college last year) and I am about 8 months in the job. I am pretty good at my job so far, but I am always looking for ways to benefit myself and have awesome experiences. Knowing there are many retirees here I just wanted advice to do you believe it’ll be beneficial to commission into the Air Force although I am doing good in my career at the moment?
Something I been thinking of even prior to joining LM because I wanted to join the Air Force, but as I think about I believe it can be very good, or it unnecessary. I would love to get some advice and opinions on it.

Than you!
