Guest IT guy Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 who did they work for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Blue Shield has been laying off TONS of employees for the past year and a TON more have been quitting based on the assumption the company is going to lose it's contract with Medicare. If there hasn't been a peep about that in the paper, why would there be anything about a few layoffs in Owego? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 They were Lockheed Martin employees working on other projects. Asked why they couldn't get on the Owego contracts were told that Owego over hired for the second helicopter contract that wasn't awarded. Lots of people there with nothing to do.........expect big layoffs there in the coming months. WILL ALL THE POLITICIANS COME TO TOWN FOR THE LAYOFFS ?

Guest Guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Wheres blue shield ? Up off of Airport Road in Binghamton. Many were laid off just a few months shy of reaching retirement -- some with 20+ years of service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there hasn't been a peep about that in the paper, why would there be anything about a few layoffs in Owego? Because everyone from IBM is going to work at Lockheed because they think they will be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pat antal Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Lockheed does good in a war time situation. Once the war hopefully starts scaling down, Lockheed will not be as booming as they are now. I worked at IBM, got laid off and wanted no part of Lockheed. I have a good job now without going back to industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
