Thread regarding General Electric Co. layoffs

There may be some trolls but many posters are exactly correct and must work for GE to know what they are saying. Everybody should be their own judge.

Most of the posters are trolls that don't work for the company. There's no point posting

Yup, keep bickering, since whatever you do is not going to help you survive might as well blame somebody else so you feel less guilty of your own arrogance and failure to work with the others in GE as a team. The culture compass says it all - things within own team are great and things needing other teams are bad, well funny, everyone's team is someone else's other team…

If engineering did not support sales, these HA would not be in the catalog for another 2 years because there is just no way they can be properly designed and tested before they are ready for prime time. The fact of the matter is engineering did support the pipe dream of sales team so GE can get the contract first and take the chance on design not matured enough - just fix it later, no big deal. That's the philosophy of the GE Power leadership and now the bubble burst all of sudden it's the guys and gals that said you are taking a lot of risk got blamed for failure instead of the persons taking the risk to get their numbers and bonuses.

Siemens paid their engineers better than GE Greenville and what they just signed with Duke is a 7 year NPI project - the plant will not get to its promised output until 2024! HA02 design work started in 2014 and in less than 7 months GE started selling it and less than 3 years it's in customer site running - is it really surprising that it's going to have problem?

GE Greenville is very arrogant when dealing with utility providers such as Duke Energy. Duke Energy is also a potential customer and the world within Duke Energy is very small. GE Greenville's facility group is not helping GE sales group. Some very important advice: You need to know who butters your bread. If not, someone else's bread will be buttered.

Definitely not a Rumor. Sales are taking a major hit. The reason everybody works for GE (Engineers and Manufacturing ME's) is to make a product that makes a profit. If you are negatively impacting GE's bottom line by creating costly science projects for R&D Testing then you need to be looking for another job. GE can no longer afford your salary or your projects. Your job is in imminent danger of being eliminated. It's up to you whether you wait for the layoff package and risk being without income for your family.

Cratering HA sales and cancelled orders are NOT a rumor.

Rumor has it

The combustion system failures are going to cost GE sales. Customers won't touch certain units right now. Could not come at a worse time, given the cash flow problems. If you work in Power, buckle up and update the resume (again). The architects of our current disaster are both taking golden parachutes rather than ride it into the ground. Great leadership /s

Keep hearing rumours about all these combustion failures; some in Saudi Arabia on 7F.05, Pakistan on 9HA.01?, and also in US on fleet leader 7HA.02......also rumours on Hclass rotor dynamics issues. Shouldn't all this have been identified and corrected in Greenville Testing? Fleet wide potential? "Massive" and "back to drawing board" with LD's mounting or "fix plan in place"? These customers talk, so I wonder what they have been told....

Another example of GE losing because of GE's culture of arrogance. Siemens listened to the customer and provided incentives to meet both parties needs. GE tried to charge the customer for Test performed in Greenville. As you know, GE's Greenville Testing didn't help GE on the massive combustion failures they are currently having at multiple customer sites. Nobody wins when customers select GE.
