Thread regarding General Electric Co. layoffs

The day GE runs out of businesses to sell off.

Turn your thoughts for a moment to the not too distant future of a day when GE runs out of viable businesses which it can sell.

What happens next to you, you families and your retirement...

Tick Tock... Tick Tock... Tick Tock...

Your financial future and your families wealth for the next generation will be irrevocably impacted forever.

What will you do?

In the next 2 years or less GE will likely be just Power, Renewables and Aviation.

These businesses will be shells of their prior elite selves which existed in the imaginations of those who considered GE to be an elite firm. They may even be separate publicly traded companies.

Power will likely have merged with Renewables and have slimed down to just Gas Turbines, Aero, Nuclear, Grid, Wind and Gas Services.

Aviation too will have been forced even after deep cuts elsewhere to sell off Avionics/ Aviation Systems along with Additive and most of Global Research.

Retirees will comment sadly on how once GE backed up their own pension instead of the PBOC and how terrible it is that their benefits in retirement as well as compensation was forcibly cut when GE had to break into its final pieces.

The rest of GE will long sense be gone and sold to other investors. Digital will go to a Silicon Valley Power House. Power Conversion to a Foriegn Owner likely in Asia. Steam Power will be ether sold or reverse Morris Trust acquired by a smaller competitor. Even Capital will no longer exist after being sold piece by piece.

Every day we will wake and ask ourselves, was “Imagination at Work” really a dream or did we really dedicate our lives to a mirage which has disappeared. Only when looking down and studding the lines on our hands as we lift a sip of morning coffee to drink or peer reminiscently into the bathroom mirror will we realize the truth...

We were all deceived and the hope we placed in a company for our and our families wealth has completely evaporated to never return to existence or it’s former glory.

Only the factories will remain etched upon the skylines of forlorn cities as a warning of toxic environmental damage and toxic management have laid wate upon our land along with the graveyard cries from those forced into early death by toxic workplaces.

Generations from now people will ask in amazement “What happened to the once great GE company” and the only response will be “Immelt’s debt, an unchecked Board of Directors and unquestionably loyal executives.

In generations, all will know what we do today that the death of GE happened during our generation as employees and it is no more...

During your 18 years in upper management did you have your nose to the grindstone the whole time?

This post is spot on. I was so close to the financials in the Power CS business to see this coming about 5-7 years ago. I also worked at Aviaton in services and at Capital around the big $$. I rode the titanic until the end, which was this past winter. I found a new job with a different company and was lucky enough to leave with a hefty severance package. Timing was everything. All the big shots were complete chronies over my 18 years in upper management. Complete lies and mismanagement from the highest levels. Complete blundering of the billions in cash we generated in the power service contracts. Additionally 18 years of PPA contributions have only generated $2k in interested???? So basically GE is using PPA funds to skim interest to fund executive pensions. Do yourself and families a favor leave ASAP. The job markets is hot, wake up! It’s not ever going to get better and even the 1999 GE I started at s---ed then.

Yes... Etched upon the skylines of forlorn cities...

See the pictures in the articles in the below links...

GE sites have been fixtures of the skylines of many of our childhood cities where our grandfathers and grandmothers, mothers and fathers and even our children worked before greed consumed executive eyes and transformed community prosperity into forlornness.

The future does look difficult with GE. I am doing something about it and know others are also looking for something better as well.

GE was a sham. Fake it until you make it, until they couldnt fake it any longer.
