This Edison works split in Engineering is going to be an unmitigated disaster. Splitting up the engineering team seems to be against the principles of lean to me. Is this new ceo on a mission to sell off the commercial business or something?

VRIP offered
Aviation is offering older salary employees a VRIP. Plan is horrible compared to other divisions or even aviation's own layoff plan. The plan saves company a ton of money of course. I am very disappointed in GE and what it believes is fair.

Large layoffs hitting soon
Well we all seen the layoff confirming email from John. Looks like a rough road ahead next year. This should not be a surprise to anyone. Aviation way over-hired when things were looking good. Now we pay the piper. Good luck everyone.
