Thread regarding General Electric Co. layoffs

Former General Electric vice chair on the company's future

How embarrassing. Beth goes on cnbc and repeatedly stumbled through her responses. "Amaizing business" "Digiti-digiti-digitisation" and when asked about the strengths of GE repeats the same things JI used to say three years ago.

Beth was JW's example of how a modern company should be shaped by it's HR department. Turns out she can't tell what in the world is going on and when pressed for details can only repeat her action words.

They just all looked at her and realized why GE's stock price is where it's at today.

Beth comstock - never did anything of value. Can’t believe she is advising people on how to run a business. Jeff immelt’s plaything.

Claim to fame, turned down a job at Apple. Sat on a board at GE and watched it enter a death spiral, while saying change is good and digitise. Bottom line contributions to be decided. Modern day b---s---ter.

I think you're confusing jealousy with disgust.

I watched it. Absolutely she was winging it. Anyone could have answered the same questions with the dribble she was spewing.

The same woman who worshiped the man who took this company down! Its amazing the networks and the people who still give her the time of day. Not to mention guess who was flying in the second plane with his gym equipment!

I'm salaried. My boss assigned us that book as "required reading" for her team. Please lay me off already and give me a package!

Some people were still praising her latest book for 'great leadership insights' at GE yammer, only two weeks ago.

She should be embarassed. Anyone who was a top end leader at GE under immelt should go crawl in a hole and never come out.

I watched it. It was embarrassing. If I had a dollar for every time she said " change" in her career, I would be extremely rich. Yes we watched GE "change" under your watch and it wasn't for the better.
