How many employees?

I am an employee of LM and I was just looking to see how many other employees there are. This article says both 140,000 (in body) and 126,000 (in sidebar). Which is it? I don't see references for either. Based on my later searches, I'd say the smaller number is likely more accurate, but I prefer to let an unbiased person make the update. http://www.lockheedmartin.com/aboutus/index.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.91.173.42 (talk) 22:57, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was 140,000 a few years ago; lockheed's workforce has been shrinking and is down to around 125k. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.249.147.66 (talk) 08:57, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The 2015 Annual Report states 126 thousand (page 10), I have added a reference on that. Ulflarsen (talk) 16:50, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

why you think that?, however now is all ok.--Bolzanobozen (talk) 15:56, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Update some dates?

The overview at the beginning of the article contains important information linked to years from the late 2000s to the early 2010s. I recommend we update this information with information from more recent years. Brom20110101 (talk) 04:47, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Distribution Technologies

There appear to be no mention of "Distribution Technologies". Here is an excerpt from a page on the USPS: Lockheed Martin Distribution Technologies designs, produces and integrates mail automation, material handling, recognition and information processing systems for postal services, package delivery operations, corporate mail centers, and distribution, fulfillment and manufacturing centers worldwide. Distribution Technologies is a business unit of Lockheed Martin Systems Integration - Owego, which is a business segment of Lockheed Martin Corporation, Bethesda, MD. This is from [1]https://www.postalreporter.com/automation.htm#:~:text=Lockheed%20Martin%20Distribution%20Technologies%20designs,fulfillment%20and%20manufacturing%20centers%20worldwide. 216.82.37.98 (talk) 13:58, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

why is the logo so small

in the article this might just be for me but the logo is tiny Jatanea (talk) 23:41, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was vandalism. Fixed. Schierbecker (talk) 23:45, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Carbon Footprint Question

Is there a reason why 'Carbon footprint' has it's own top level section? I have not seen this on any other corporation wiki's. On others (ex. Google) it's a subsection as part of a larger discussion of internal affairs. Purplecarpark (talk) 20:40, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I concur, I came here just to post this. It's just data, it's not even presented in context with other corporate footprints or reactions from third parties. The only source is Lockheed Martin's own report, so I wouldn't even say it's notable. I'm going to remove it since it doesn't add anything for the average reader. If anyone objects, feel free to respond below. Equirax (talk) 00:07, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
