Officially done. F this place.

Just got the news. After 15 years. 15 YEARS. They said 'restructuring' and 'economic downturn.' I say bullshit. I busted my ass for this company, moved my family twice, and this is how they repay me? The VP gave the speech about how 'difficult these decisions were' and how 'they value our contributions.' Yeah, right. Now I'm scrambling to update my resume and figure out how to explain this to my kids. Honestly, I'm just so angry and disappointed. I knew the defense industry had its ups and downs but never thought I'd be one of the casualties. Anyone else feel completely betrayed? Guess I'll start networking... Good riddance to RTX, I hope the next program fails. My manager couldn't even look me in the eye.

Severance Package Question - Trying to Plan Ahead

Hypothetically speaking... what's the typical severance package like at Raytheon, generally? I know it probably varies based on tenure and position, but I'm just trying to get a general idea. Trying to get my finances in order just in case. I have about 10 years with the company, currently a Principal Engineer. Anyone been through a layoff recently and willing to share (anonymously, of course) what they received? Knowing this would help me breathe a bit easier (or, you know, start aggressively applying elsewhere).

Heard some rumblings about 'resource actions' - anyone else?

Okay, so I'm on the engineering side, been here about 7 years, and the last few weeks have been... weird. My manager has been in back-to-back meetings, and there's this general air of tension in the department. I overheard snippets of conversations about 'resource actions' and 'realignment.' Anyone else hearing similar things? I'm not sure if it's just my team (we're underperforming a bit on our current project), or if it's something more widespread. Honestly, I'm starting to stress a bit. Trying to stay positive but hard not to think the worst. Specifically in the Missiles & Defense division but any RTX insights appreciated.

Severance package - what to expect?

Hypothetically speaking, if a layoff were to happen, what kind of severance package does Raytheon typically offer? I'm a program manager with 12 years at the company. I've heard whispers that it varies depending on your role and years of service, but I'm looking for some real-world examples. Anyone willing to share their experiences (anonymously, of course)? Was it based on salary, years of service, or a combination of both? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Trying to be prepared, just in case.

Rumor mill: Possible Q3 cuts in RIS?

Heard some chatter from a usually reliable source that there might be some staff reductions coming to the RIS (Raytheon Intelligence & Space) business unit in Q3. Apparently, some projects are getting cancelled or delayed, and they're looking to trim costs. Anyone else hearing anything similar? I'm a systems engineer in Aurora, CO, and things seem busy, but you never really know what's going on behind closed doors. Trying to decide if I should start updating my resume...

Anyone else feel like layoffs are always looming?

I've been at Raytheon for almost 8 years now, and it feels like every couple of years there's some kind of "restructuring" or "realignment" that ends up with people getting laid off. I'm in engineering, and while my team has been relatively stable, I can't shake the feeling that it's only a matter of time before the axe falls again. Anyone else feel this way? Is it just the nature of the defense industry, or is Raytheon particularly prone to these cycles? Seriously considering jumping ship, but the benefits are so good it's hard to leave. Just curious if others are feeling the same anxiety.
