Become human! I do not know how high up the ladder my lay off was initiated; I do know, I was a heck of an asset to the firm for many years and I had knowledge of my job that no one else had and was also the most highly educated in the department. URS is a professional services firm and they must show high degrees of education when bidding on projects/contracts. Apparently, as overhead, that does not count. I also do not know if Martin Koffel, the CEO, was aware of my situation, or if he even cares about underlings. The executive to whom the admin dept. reports, had changed several times over a few years and the VP (the one released) had noted that he was not sure who he was reporting to for a period. I received a congratulatory letter from Martin Koffel (form letter) for 15 years of service noting how the company values longevity - hollow words. I also received a bonus with my director when the corporate offices moved to the TransAmerica building in San Francisco for a 100% successful move. I know the company has become a behemoth with over 56,000 employees, but there must be a greater degree of oversight down the chain. I had no chance to explain anything to anyone. If, indeed, they are to lay off an employee, it should be with a few months prior notice. My previous director with Dames & Moore, in his budgeting, knew he would lay off a few of the team members; he gave them a one-year notice.

I believe that the company should look more at the experience level instead of educational level of possible new employees. Many situations will require individuals with professional licenses, but on the other hand, it is the work of those individuals who are experienced and have little college that get the work done in a timely fashion. Too much of the budget and way too much emphasis is wasted on those individuals who lack experience simply because they are not taught in school many of the technical aspects of the real engineering world. It's just my opinion that many companies get too top heavy with licensed engineers and E.I.T.'s and truly need to look at hiring more people with the technical backgrounds. I believe that many companies need to make their Human Resource Department people do more than work with new employees and prepare orientations. HR staff should be concentrating on and doing the leg work in finding positions for their current employees when the need presents itself like in my case. Yes, employees should be looking online in the careers department as well and applying for positions there as I have done many times. I really want to return to the URS system and I hope that is a possibility soon.

4.3 I worked with the company for 19 years. It was a good company and I learned a lot doing different duties in the Document Control Center Contractor on a government facility. I had a security clearance and took pride in my working with records. I published procedures, typing, reviewing, proofreading and getting management/government approvals. Which are used to operate the plant in all areas according to regulations with the State and the government. Producing high quality work in a timely manner.
