Ge Oil and Gas to lay off numerous employees at their OKC facility. Estimated time frame November-March. Good luck
It's sad how you know your managers are not needed in your department. There's a 8:1 ratio in every service department or more. Why fire or layoff the small man cause their both basically the same. Your end of year numbers are just making our jobs more stressful.

Age is def illegal, but I hear there pulling other things to rank employees... stupid stuf like swipe times at security, that green belt sigma cert, crap like that
The good ole boy system at GE Oil & Gas will continue to role.
Sad but TRUE
This is true, Corporate has advised top management to cut 25% of their permanent employees. Some departments within Oil & Gas have been told to prepare to cut 30% of their contractor out by mid-October and permanent employees as well.

The Most 'Useless Office Personnel' are the mid-level managers. What do they do? Six Sigma Smoke and Mirrors to clueless higher-ups! And this dominoes upwards.

Which locations and when?
Doesn't GE and their subsidiaries have a forced 10% layoff each year where they layoff the bottom 10% of performers? I thought this was standard practice for them.
Absolutely agree with 152050
How is AGE relevant in any of these things? You cannot use it for any kind of work related criteria
