“You can use the RIF to get rid of people who disagree with you” - Quality Analyst Lockheed Martin Employee Review

The management (L6 and L7) in the quality department is horrendous, I mean the worst you’ve ever experienced. They lack morals and ethics and it shows, they encourage mischarging on govt contracts and when presented with it, sweep it under the rug, right along with the SA situations and term usage. For management, fireable offenses or problems are “coachable moments”, for anyone else, you’re cooked. The upper management is only focused on moving up, even though they cannot competently perform their own duties, this seems to be a common thing. Any attempt at improving processes is met with resistance and accusations of trying to cause dissonance. People refuse to develop spines and that’s because they will be targeted or retaliated against, even though there’s a zero tolerance policy. I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy, my exposure is that of Watertown campus quality dept, no amount of money would ever be worth putting myself through that again. If you’ve made it this far and you’re considering, run. If you see someone in your org chart above you with the initials RH or AD… expect incompetency as the new norm.
