The work environment at GE Greenville is getting more toxic day by day. You can feel the constant tension in the air. The good news is a natural business correction is about to happen. The bad news is a lot of good people will be impacted by the correction. Let's hope GE Leadership has learned from their damaging business culture and that more of them will be impacted by the pending correction than the hard working good people typically impacted.

They can start by cutting Power Services. Then cut all the middle manager layers they have created, one on top of another. It's more redundant than it was during the Energy years.
I'm glad Flannery is getting rid of the non-profit generating overhead. These people usually do nothing but make the life of those that actually do things more difficult. I volunteer to provide a long list of people from the Greenville, SC campus. If you have made an org chart within the last year, you're on the top of my list.
Speaking of "toxic", does anyone else know of cancer victims from the Greenville Plant? I heard there was a history of carcinogenic chemical use much of which was dumped on the concrete and soil onsite. This could be a two edge sword. 1) the plant would stay because cleanup would be two costly but, 2) people are exposed.
Maybe GE Greenville will get better after a few more reorgs.
The GE Pension was last reported to be underfunded by $31.1 Billion and growing. If GE cared about the pension they would have funded it.
People want to work the because many can get a real pension other than the government. I don't get why others not eligible for the plan don't look to leave
It amazes me that anyone would want to work for General Electric. Leadership has effectively destroyed it. Greenville's work environment is a joke.
@sra - so true, there is nothing natural there... Also, there is nothing good about it too...
The "natural business correction" will be more like a nuclear bomb than anything natural. I take it your background isn't economics or finance.
