GE Aviation - Laying off a World that works!

Should we be worried? Is there going to be more reactionary layoffs followed by panicked rehiring? Does anybody know?

Yes. I agree layoffs are coming. There's no escaping that. But if we are to function as our own company then they can't decimate the workforce before the dust has settled down. I think there'll be some cuts right away but not too many. However, a... —  read more 

Needless to say, I am shocked by the announcement that GE intends to split into three companies.

Get ready for a bumpy ride everyone, how soon until Aviation is on the auction block? Who's going to buy us? PW? Raytheon?? Private equity???

Boeing using cheap labor and suppliers and it's costing everyone big in the end. You would think GE would see it happening and start paying and treating their employees better. They would rather send the work south of the border to save a buck. GENx... —  read more

Let’s stand with Boeing. Not sure if union folks will be able to join, but for non union folks let’s stand with our brothers and sisters in Seattle

Do you think that medical and religious exemption will have some effect, that is, will GE still find a way to fire those who are allowed by exemption?

Do any of you think GE corporate will make everyone get vaccinated or no? I'm in Hooksett NH Aviation plant

Whoaaaaa!

I heard Greenville is hiring back. I want to go back!

Curious of how many in Wilmington has been approached about looking into a union like some have over lower tier pay and no raises? Good or bad?

I don't feel like I'm getting the leadership or mentoring I need here. People are not interested in talking, exchanging ideas, getting to know each other... How can my manager know whether I'm a good choice for a promotion when he isn't even trying... —  read more 

I thought people who were laid off were free to apply for other positions within the company. Is this not true?

Getting laid off was very hard on me because I loved my job so much. After that, I couldn’t find any similar job for a long time and I had to make a career u-turn and accept a job in a completely different industry. I’m glad to hear all the positive... —  read more 

I've seen this happen several times and something tells me it'll keep happening under this management. They're so quick to get rid of people due to their pay that they don't even stop to think if that person has a higher pay for a good reason. Then... —  read more 

I don't know if there'll be more layoffs next month or next year, but it'd be nice to know more about what does severance package look like these days. I've heard there were some pandemic-influenced changes but I can't find any info on it. Is there... —  read more 

People should refuse OT so they will hire people who are struggling to feed their families that were laid off..but I know people won't refuse OT because we have a lot of greedy fu--s that work here.

Any ideas what it is?

Old two jets Jeff should have spent that Baker Hughes/Alstom Energy money on a forging house. Can I get an amen!

This could result in some layoffs one more time. Supply chain support groups are numbero uno target based on the fantastic meeting I was in Monday.

Any news on callbacks in Greenville? If so how many?

Just remember how your supervisors have been treating you while it's been slow....because sooner or later when it picks up they are going to need you. Hang in there ILM... 😉

Is it February, is it March or will it be this month - it's really not that important to me anymore because I am certainly aware that no one is safe. I hope for the best but I always expect the worst. The only important thing is to always be... —  read more 

I try to work harder than ever because I don't agree with those who say it's not worth it when it comes to layoffs, so they very often take their jobs for granted. Doing as much as I can is the only way to try to keep my job here until I can find a... —  read more 

Does anyone actually believe the BS excuse why we aren't getting forgings in Wilmington? I bet Mexico isn't having that issue.

It's funny hearing these Cnc programmers talking about how operators are paid way to much now because they just hit a button...maybe they should take pay cuts also because they don't actually write programs anymore with all the software they... —  read more 

I only now see on this forum that there’s a temporary layoff coming to Wilmington. Is that true? I just hope it’s a malicious rumor, and if it’s not, can anyone share a few more insights?

There are people on here bragging on how they are doing better and have moved on...This board is looked at and cared about mostly by folks who have gotten laid off or who are concerned about getting laid off. The folks who claimed that they are... —  read more
