With Mr. Stokes assuming command of the combined GE Power and GE Energy Connections units, what is the possibility (or likelihood) of layoffs spreading out into the Energy Connections "body"? Our EC location has not won any new projects since Jan. 1 and our existing project work is almost completed. Also, I was on vacation when a webcast was held for Energy Connections' 2nd Quarter results. Did anyone watch it and what are the results, if I may ask?

Management made the announcement in July that this legacy-Alstom office would close at the end if the third quarter. Most were given the opportunity to relocate but that wasn't really an option and GE knew it. A very few were told that they could work from home but in the backs of their minds they feel that the handwriting is on the wall for them as well. We had projects to keep our people busy going into 2018 but guess what, that didn't matter and the work has now been divided between two "legacy-GE" offices. To the victors go the spoils of war...
