250 layoffs. Workers will find out this week. Union has been meeting with the company for two weeks now. Also they are offering a voluntary buy out. Just like they did with the battery plant. People who talk sh-- on the site please take the layoff! Some people would like to see the campus turn around unlike you.
UbP14uM-2zwo-What’s sad is your a looser and company blow hard who thinks GE is going to take care of you. LMAO what’s sad is your living the pipe dream that your going to get a great severance package from GE or something! LMAO
Same guy made all these replies. Sad
Hopefully very soon so all you whiney a$$ bit#@s will STFU about a place you say you hate and can't wait to leave, but still prostitute yourselves and lay down for the company everyday. Do us all a favor and go back to your Wal-mart greeter job.
2 posts from people that feel like a lot of us do! I know many use this sight and sign in screen names or anonymous , but its a damn shame more of us cant post our names wothout fear of retaliation! I spoke up to plant manager about my concerns, got my leader rate taken from me for BS reasons without even a descusion ahead of time. I get it, folks are worried, but posting opinions or facts shouldnt have to be a worry!
Why do u need chairs on the shop floor ? Rest on break. No wonder that plants going to be decimated. Lazy union workers
This has to be a reply from GE management it figures.
Don't worry....the work will be sent up to Bangor. They aren't any better, but GE will use them to break the union. The union should be all over that, but they won't.
My father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate said that the layoffs will happen when the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars.
He said a zillion hourly will be laid off. I'm not sure about that; I don't think a zillion is a real number.

Rotor Assembly as it was once called is being destroyed by a cell leader that hasn't a clue, A COE that has proven has no clue or desire to get one, a few other members of management of the cell that have decided kissing the cell leaders a-- vs standing up for what's right is the best choice of action. Treating hourly workers as if they are inmates in cell block F. Standing and watching guys do their jobs, making sure no one stops for a moment to take a seat for a breather on a hot day(chairs have all been removed from the shop floor in the area), questioning why the use of a bathroom was necessary, having unqualified workers work on jobs without following work rules and agreements, letting quality processes be skipped to get things done in the hopes that no one will notice. ALL this goes on day after day 7am to 3pm, then its all bets are off. What happens on 2nd and 3rd shift are like another planet, no management with real experience to manage, no engineering support for quality issues, no cell block watching over the inmates. The area that was once the crown jewel of areas to work in Schenectady #273, has successfully become the gutter of our site. There was hope like already said by another, Stan would come in, talk with the knowledgeable workforce and quickly fix the salary problems, sadly that's not happening!! Its was a great place to work and be proud of what we had done, now the thought of going in to be beat down yet again another day is pretty low! Thanks for the past !!! Hoping after what ever layoffs happen I don't get bumped back into Buckets!!!!
For some of us legacy employees as we are called, its really sad that we expected a guy like Stan to come in and really work with us to right the sinking ship of Schenectady Manufacturing. It appears to date that he is really no different than the last 3 plant managers. Leadership under him down to area facilitators are proving day in and day out, how much they want to screw things up so bad, we may never recover!! Yes there are a lot of dead weight in the plant, Salary and Hourly, but those that just want to build a quality product and be proud, are just over taken by those that could give a sh-- about daily work, let alone quality! When it comes to 301, lets just say it very disturbing when your a hourly worker that has never once needed a union rep to handle anything, at a time that comes that you now need them, there is no urgency to your situation! GE is a very large worldwide corporation. Union workforces around the USA working for GE are very small compared to years past. That doesn't mean that the GE folks that don't wanna follow the contract agreements, local agreements, or just simple good business practices, should be allowed to do just that. If there is a contract violation of the very simplest, the union should be all over it. When a hrly worker is mistreated by a salary person, the union should be all over it. When quality is bypassed for a opinion that as been proven wrong, the union should be all over it. When engineering approved process's are not followed the union should be all over it. Point being, we are a small part of a large company, there for if your not the squeaky wheel, he nagging bit on the ankle, your never gonna help be part of a solution. Next year will be the start of a new contract, based on the last 2 and current company posturing, its gonna be a devastating contract if things go like the last 2! Wake up 301 folks, salary folks that have Stan's ear, if we don't fix things, get the truth to Stan and higher, we will never survive regardless of work load!!!
What'ya crack' about?..........still waitn for my call back...can .......you.........diggit!
It seems wrong for Plant Manager Genega to have told everyone before the weeklong shutdown that there was going to be a reduction in headcount.....but he wont have any details until the week we come back. Well, we have been back for a week and a day and still no word from Big Stan. You would think he would have the decency to realize that alot of people are stressing over this information.
Ask your union rep,board member, leadership or coworkers.
