I’m sure the number will Rise well above the 44 in due time. It always comes in waves 44 here another 30 next wave. That’s about 20% and that’s sounds about right. Shipping some of the work to Europe and Poland to be closer to the customers. If it works out well so long GE in Schenectady.

Come on folks......the writing was on the wall wen they sent the same HR clueless chic from Salem to you guys. Her time will come.
More layoffs to power in the works! Covid 19 has increased the companies 10 year plan to Increase the rapid reduction in power. The company will produce just enough to fulfill the legal obligations to all of the service contracts. Full builds are on the way down the Almighty Papa Digging for Potato flood gates.
I am glad your all Sitting home with with your independence pink slip on this independence weekend. More cuts to come my job is secure
I'm curious about Papa show is this like an inner circle GE thing like the buddy club?
My buddy said he talked to the Papa's at ,283 and there will be no layoff
Think Papa can get us out of this one too?
You think for one second your work cant be farmed out cheaper you're nuts keep thinking you're safe
I’m a D-Rate. So I don’t think I’m safe or hope I’m safe. I know I’m safe because you can’t quickly find a machinist with my skills, experience, and knowledge. They won’t risk losing me. So thanks for the heads up but I’m good!!!!
Peace the fk out 273, and anyone that thinks they are safe you have a ride awakening coming.
What is a Papa Show?
@9xbc+15rMMqGk still a lot of t rates here including myself, but by the end of this year at the earliest it end of april next year 200 or more will be getting laid off mark my words!
Well there won’t be anymore T rates complaining about D rates making more money. All the T rates will be gone.
Hired 12 years ago and was laid off today?? I’m not buying it! Never happened.
My husband just got his lay-off letter today for the Schenectady location in production. He left a job of 12 years to go to GE. There was red flags from the beginning and he still went. GE is just not the same as it was years ago. I see this location shutting down within 5-10 years tops
105 T Rates out the door again more t rate OT for me
Oh Jeez I should maybe have thought twice about that callback. I left the place I went to high and dry because I wanted to go back to being overpaid sleeping in a cage 6 hours a shift, thinking I am superior to everyone else and thinking this would last forever. Now call the place you left high and dry and ask to come back!!!!! Hahaha ha Ha haha
D- Rates don't know what concessions even are. They will think it's the hot dog cart offering a sale.
One of those concessions that I heard was proposed is the d rates taking a pay cut
The jobs can be saved! The union will just have to propose certain cost concessions
GRC can not bump 273 just like 273 could not bump 66
is this strictly in power or in renewables also ?
Don't worry Schnectady, GRC will be sending you some more people on the 29th.
@aua+15rMMqGk. Keep telling yourself that. When you get rid of support people, it means there is nothing to support. More layoffs to come, and they already know Poland can do the work. That's why it's going there.
Shipping work and jobs to Poland this is the start. If Poland can prove they can make our products than more job losses. 45 was just the start
Their will end up being layoffs 273 cannot absorb that amount of people without pushing others out,the tbfm can not even function properly to give us enough work for day to day operations let alone adding more people to the mix.
These are only support function jobs, not engineers or production workers. Rumors about massive head count reduction was over blown.
They can't lay off off because we may turbine go brrrr
