GE needs to go to mandatory COVID vaccines for all employees to protect all the overweight, out of shape employees. It will also help thin the herd instead of having to do layoffs. And since it will be a volunteer quit, the company doesn't have to... —  read more

The final gas turbine validation test is about to begin. The facility will be mothballed in early spring. GE leadership can’t wait to cut salaries. Cutting heads is what they live for. It’s their fetish!

The union knows that the company wants to cut jobs at 273 and 66. VRIP talk always means layoffs. Power is flat get ready! Union is saying 65 VRIPS in 273 and 66. Means 130 are hitting the streets in the next wave of cuts in Schenectady. The... —  read more 

Down 16+% since split. Not a peep out of Culp or Gardener (Trian Partners).....Hmmmm. Another MASSIVE lose for Nelson Peltz.
