What don't you like about working at Lockheed Martin?

"I used to work as a full time employee for Lockheed Martin with a TS/SCI clearances in Pa. I was terminated / railroaded out the door for being on the Internet. In my work environment I had a Classified and an Unclassified system. When I would arrive in the morning I would always log into the Unclassified system first to check email, and the weather. I would leave the Unclassified system logged in and then log onto the Classified system to start my daily activities. I was busy the rest of the day performing my job on the Classified system. They used the fact that I stayed logged into the Unclassified system as the excuse to terminate me. When I asked to see the records I was refused and shown out the door. There is a tremendous amount of Non Ethical behaviour going on at Lockheed. There were many employees who did absolutely nothing every day except collect their paycheck. Sometimes they wouldn't even come into work. These groups of employees would cover each other from being caught all the way up to he department heads and managers. I even know one employee who even to this day spends most of his day at the bar drinking while getting paid. I knew another group that would spend most of their time at the King of Prussia mall across the street from the main building 100. There were also many minority employees who would use prejudice as a scare tactic and get away with totally unethical behaviour. I have many more instances to report, but won't do that here and now for the sake of time and making this post too long. Lockheed Martin is one screwed up company. If they keep going this way I doubt they will survive. Our country's security depends on some of LM's contracts. We're in big trouble because we are depending on a company so corrupt.Terminated under false pretenses and allegations. I have suffered several heart attacks, severe gout and pneumonia, for which I was hospitalized. This has caused a tremendous amount of stress in my life. Everything from home foreclosure to declining health. My life has been ruined because of them. There is more."
