A voluntary buyout program at Lockheed Martin Corp. has netted nearly 250 mid-level managers who will leave the company.

The company is not planning more layoffs but will continue to evaluate its workforce needs, a spokeswoman told the newspaper.

I'm not sure why this is being reported as a reduction in middle managers. These were mid-level employees, not all managers.

How many were RIFed?
