Thread regarding General Electric Co. layoffs

Isnt this the real problem with these big companies?

Being a shareholder, I am suffering huge time when these big wigs legally rob the company.. How do you rewrite what these CEO's should receive when they are part of the problem, especially when the company is mismanaged by them. Look at IMMELT and what HE DID!!! They leave the company in shambles, take their millions, deposit it in their bank accounts and go on with life. COMPARE WHAT AN EMPLOYEE GETS TO THESE BIG WIGS. THE PROB STARTS THERE IN MY OPINION... U RUINED MY RETIREMENT IMMELT...………………………………………………...

General Electric's ousted CEO Flannery to get $4.25 million severanceGeneral Electric Co. will pay former Chief Executive John L. Flannery $4.25 million in severance pay over the next 12 months, the industrial conglomerate said in . The severance will be paid in equal installments over the period, the company said. Flannery also will be eligible to receive a prorated long-term performance award payment, the company said. In addition, Flannery's outstanding stock options and restricted stock units granted before September 2017 and that would have vested through December 2020 "will vest as soon as practicable," GE said. Stock options that would have vested after December 2020 will be canceled. Flannery, a 32-year GE veteran, will also at age 60 have access to GE's supplementary pension plan. Flannery, who led GE from August 2017 to October, will be subject to a 12-month non-compete agreement, the company said.

You are spot on my friend. I have given 36 years of my life to GE and have a combined 400+ years of GE service in my family dating back to 1898 and don't expect or feel entitled to these kinds of benefits!

This is yet again another example of what is wrong with GE and its Corporate Country Club Culture for executives! Go check your pension, is it worth >10X of your yearly salary? This is why the Supplemental Pension Plan (SPP) should be eliminated. Also people taking early retirements or getting laid off are not get 2x their base pay!

GE executives are great and worth more salary and bonuses than the average working folks, but their severance and pensions should be prorated just like everyone else’s, not amplified. Eliminating the SPP would also help with the GE Pension debt.

There were many times GE should have sacked Immelt, but didn't. 2007/08 crash. Exiting the mortgage market, then returned. Berkshire Hathaway bail out. Train group bailout. Poor acquisition only to be sold off like NBCU, security manufacturer s after 9/11. Never delivering what was promised, like the billions from Prefix.

Legally is not breaking the law. Illegally is.

USA is the best country in the world to be a CEO. Where can you run a company to the ground and still collect a hefty pay out?
