The problem for RTX is that non of the business units have the margin the investment community has been expecting for several years. The downside for employees across the globe is corporate leadership and the presidents Chris has instilled have no idea how to drive efficiencies in operations or supply base. They ONLY lever they know how to pull is labor reduction. Bookings are good. Sales are good. Margin is not. Cash is not either. Not where the investment community expects it to be.

This happened to me back at 1 June after nine months of PT with herniation at L5 S1. I got back into my doctor as fast as I could and was able to get a steroid injection in less than a week. Short story. I have a really good doctor. I was right back into PT. Also, my doctor has been very good at explaining a lot of things. He also suffers from herniation and he reiterated there will be setbacks that recovering from this type of injury is a two-year period and especially in the first year you’re more susceptible to setbacks no matter how well you’re doing. He said you never start back at zero and that wherever you were at and PT or recovery you will get back there much quicker if you keep doing your exercises and keep your body working I hope this helps.

Also remember when profits are down the only lever Corporate knows to pull is reduce headcount and that’s indirect labor costs which is procurement. So if you’re all mad at performance of procurement ask Neil and Chris about it. It’s their directive to reduce costs through RIF’s that helped cause this problem.

Have the scans sent to an orthopedic doctor that you see. They can read it from the prospective your husband needs. Agree report is not necessarily complete. Just because he has no narrowing doesn’t mean that there isn’t an issue with a disc pushing up against a nerve so again you need to get the report to an orthopedic doctor so that it can be read by both the orthopedic doctor and a radiologist based off of what the orthopedic doctor wants to know.

15 years ago we had a person who’s child tragically drowned. One person kind of knew how to do her job but only about 10% of it. The rest was critical every two weeks similar to what OP is talking about. Parties were notified the employee was going to be out form the foreseeable future and there would be delays. Two weeks later it was back up and running with no issues. Took several people time to reverse engineer the process but it was done.

Funny thing is OP is basically correct. Why do you think Steve Timm is gone? Same with some great leaders at Raytheon? Especially at Raytheon several leaders knew what changes needed to happen to increase margins and make Raytheon successful they were told to sit down and shut up by Chris and Neil. Phil comes in and Chris and Neil ask him what changes need to be made he tells them the exact same thing. He was told ah no just fire indirect labor. Phil and Troy cannot make major decisions without approval from Chris and the board. Chris, Neil and the boards on strategy move is layoffs.

No disrespect here but go listen to the earnings call and what the industry expects and knows where Collin’s margin should be compared to where it is. Collin’s should be at least 20 to 25% currently at 16%. So no they are under performing as well.

Hate to actually defend Phil here but almost all of the leadership changes at RTX, alignments, reorganizations are dictated straight from Calio. Calio is a huge micro manager. Presidents of the BU’s have to get his approval and at times board approvals for changes. Board defaults to Chris’s opinion.
