Thread regarding GE Oil & Gas layoffs

GE... oh GE. What a lovely and intuitive place to work. The best way to get ahead in oil & gas at GE is to be fired from Halliburton, sue them for sexual harassment, receive and undisclosed amount of money and be banned from all facilities for life.

That is the future of GE oil and gas. I wonder if knee pads are necessary for that job?

I know that experience, knowledge, and a long list of contacts are not. Cheesedicks.

GE moved Subsea Headquarters to Bristol UK a couple years ago. Closing down offices in Houston/Norway so Bristol has work to keep a few busy. They are not customer driven, can't hire people with experience needed to get the job done right. GE managers in Bristol always look at "What value added" is this to go the extra step to keep customer happy and to deliver what was agreed in contract. Layed off the whole Subsea Engineering team in Houston today.

GE should adopt the open air office concept as many of our customers have done... This will alleviate the incessant need for all the closed door meetings, where they are obviously discussing all of our hard work, blood, sweat, and tears shed for them.

It would be great, just one time, for someone to actually do some managing instead of job justifying themselves with yet more closed door meetings with zero accomplishment. Just another normal Wednesday

Yet another round of closed

Door meetings this week,

With monday morning quarterbacks manning the .50 cal turret, shooting down the knowledgeable, and experienced with their ammo handloaded with lies and bullshit. Welcome to GE Oil and Gas, the new Hell's Kitchen.

Best I can figure that is all the GE institutional "managers" at O&G know how to do. Schedule meetings about the conference calls and webex meets setting up the next meeting to discuss possible solutions to issues that have developed into impossible major cluster f*#¥ while they are ringing their hands screaming at the guys left in the trenches.

Absolutely most arrogant worst management I have ever encountered in years of well servicing industry. 0 concept of customer service anywhere above the local levels. Terrible in good times now combined with the bust, they are doomed with an endless trail of good really good people in their wake.

it's dean krajinovic not dean

Rumor has that C. Danial is back in the fold. The prodigal golden child returns. Only to run the plant into the ground. Terrible choices.

They don't make appliances, they sold that to Electrolux, they ran that at negative 30+% margin to maintain the brand recognition.

Too bad their oil and gas mentality isn't the same even though there is no brand recognition.

It's like that across all oil and gas business units, management only cares about themselves and promoting their own agendas. The majority of their subordinates are more qualified to lead and manage people than they are.

They make really good jet engines. Also decent appliances.
