Thread regarding General Electric Co. layoffs

Absolutely

The higher bands you interact with, the more sinister and slimy they have to become to survive

One of the SEB engineering guys who was in Greenville many years is part of the multi year French vacation. Apart from Alstom, Power Conversion ( the old Converteam) also has US expats , including the once right hand man of the GRC chief.

As much as you can blame Alstom , the culture at the top of GE over the last 15 years was one of extreme arrogance and zero accountability.

GE Renewables is being led by the same Alstom team that took that company to bankrupcy. Been working for GE in another EU country (not in France, I mean) and what I've seen over the last 2y has nothing to do with 'legacy' GE

It’s also widely suspected their HQ team ‘cooks the books’ internally to misrepresent how much the HQ in Paris really costs.

The culture within Renewable Energy is all decisions roll up to the CEO, which is ridiculous. That is a legacy alstom culture.

I’ve worked for GE a long time and in businesses with great leaders.

It’s clear he was put into this role as an agreement and political reasons. His wife is the equivalent of a governor for the region including Paris.

Unfortunately the leadership bench in Europe is weak, so they had to do expat assignments but with the current state of affairs, it seems like bad leadership

Agree it’s a systemic culture of disassociation with the rest of the population

don't blame it on Alstom .. just look at what Immelt was doing. You can bet the rest of the executives there do the same

Legacy Alstom culture. Flannery will find and fix, at least that is my hope.
