Any news about GE Power in Europe? Environmental systems?
How did the Salary meeting go today in Greenville today
@wtj it’s true. Announcement by Plant Manager this AM. If you work outside manufacturing, you would not necessarily have heard about it yet (but you will).
I’m interested in how GE makes cuts to Engineering in Tech Center, GTTL, etc. (non-manufacturing)...that’s where my bread is buttered
F---ers.. all FAKE NEWS.. A--holes, could you please stop all these FAKE News. I am in Greenville and never heard of this meetings today, BTW I am close HR also. Just SHUT UP YOU LOOSER and get to work.
Wow, making people reapply for their own job (that they’ve faithfully done for years in many cases) is a colosally $h!tty thing to do. No better way to lose good, loyal employees than to pull $h!t like this. Even those that survive will seek new employment to avoid working for a company that does horrible $h!t like this. God I need a shower just thinking about these slimy GE execs making these decisions.
The numbers below also apply to salaried personnel in Sourcing.
These posts are really starting to get old...
Salaried manufacturing got the meeting today. 100% of salaried employees will have to reapply, and 30% will be eliminated. Those who are not eliminated are not guaranteed same position or salary. Additional mention of reduction in force was insinuated, but not officially announced until Tuesday.
Whoever is lying on these posts is a piece of sh*t a$$hole. It's bad enough people are scared to death over their futures and livelihoods. But to come on here and mess with people's heads like that is beyond pathetic. Get an effing life for Pete's sake! I am former GE and I feel terrible for anybody within GE facing this major uncertainty in their lives right now.
I am in Greenville and I can assure you there was NO MEETING this morning to discuss reductions in the workforce. The OP is a prime example of the FAKE NEWS that is pervasive on this site.
@nyk I wish it was Fake News. I really do. We were told about a week to week and a half ago by leaders that GE was no longer pursuing EPC work. We are not a manufacturing facility but rather an engineering office. Good luck to you all.
The only truth here is “FAKE NEWS!”
Some of it has to not be BS since there are conflicting reports here.
All bs, not a single thing in this post is true
They should eliminate all salaried on first shift Greenville. That’s an overpaid group that doesn’t earn their paycheck.
Entire shift being eliminated in Greenville manufacturing.
Certainly not fake news with us in GE Power. Our whole office is being shut down. All remote offices from what I'm hearing.
@mui there was no meeting. I am in Greenville and can confirm that this post is FAKE NEWS.
what about layoffs in schenectady?
Power, Greenville
FAKE NEWS strikes again!
This doesn't sound right. Can anyone that went to this meeting today confirm this?
90000 people in power 8000 would be believed not 800 less then 1%
I am with -oox, which business or location? Across all of GE sounds low, across one business or P&L might make sense.
800 across the board is no bs number
Ive heard 400, plus all contractors roughly about 300
800 hourly would be around 70% so that’s bs right there, I don’t believe that
Which business and location?
