Changes in Keith's work

Last week they notified over half of the Moog Salt Lake Group employees that their jobs would terminate in starting in December and ending in May. Three of the six people in Keith's Department will be let go. Notifying employees of a layoff is one of the most unpleasant jobs a manager has to do. In addition to all of that Keith has been given responsibility for the IT department in Torrence, California. He is a well respected Moog employee and feels glad to still have a job but prefers to be home. He'll most likely be in California once a month. The work that will still be done in the Salt Lake facility will be the TACAN product, the missile group and software engineers. There will still be computers to maintain, phone systems to manage and network and server issues but with so many less people that equates to less of many things. It is sad to see so many people go. It will not be the same, but once again Keith's job is changing to be very different. Even though he has been in the same facility for 26 years, it is like he has had many different jobs, as the location has changed from E-System, to Raytheon, to Moog and now a much smaller facility and managing a IT organization in Torrance CA.
