Leave GE on Your Own Terms

Do they think about growth at all? What is their vision of this company? It seems that all they have are short-term goals and excuses why things are not going well. They are never to blame for their moves, it is always our fault or the situation that... — read more

The Layoffs are in process
Blame nepotism, blame the 2 tier wage packages, blame the CA Agreement, blame the union, blame each other for not doing to much work, blame each other for doing to much work. At the end of the day I got my paycheck for this week and soon I won’t be... — read more
Nepotism plus C/A plus 2 tier! D rates did this to us all.
How is it that all of a sudden folks realize that the same crooks that ran the show 20 years ago now have useless children doing the same? The C/A was approved to save “previous “Union jobs as well as was the Two Tier pay system. Blaming the T guys... — read more

To stop nepotism is urgent
Can flagrant nepotism be stopped here at all? I wouldn’t belittle anyone, but.... I used to work with people who were top experts at their jobs, and now I work with average people who have special connections here. It is sad and demotivating for all... — read more
How is that CA Agreement working out now? Sold jobs for a buck! T rates ruined the history of the 301 and what the union built for the future.
T rates Sold out for a buck and higher healthcare to do 4-5 people’s job codes. Soon there will be 200 people working in 273 and it’s coming sooner than you think. All management has to do is keep piling on the work to one guy to keep that guy busy... — read more

Greenville or Schenectady, where is it worse?
You think Greenville is bad, come to Schenectady and you will change your viewpoint on how bad you've got it. I can hardly believe that anywhere could be worse than Greenville.

At one point I got bored of myself making complaints about how nothing was right here. This is not the only company I can work for.... Ever since I've started more actively looking for a new job, I am less and less interested in this company and... — read more
Other than a paycheck

GE Shareholders Reject CEO’S pay package as excessive!
Could of predicted this, scroll down weeks ago. Probably didn’t help when pay of hr head and others listed as well. Good for shareholders. It is why it is called pay for performance, not pay to occupy a seat and hope for performance!!!
Less pay, but I’m happy
I actually quit before I found my current job. I know it was stupid to do but there was only so much I could take. Now I am on a team that shares project responsibilities equally and we are given recognition for all the work we accomplish - which is... — read more
