Harmonisation of Pay bands and Salary levels

A question I can't ask anonymously on the Watercooler - can anyone confirm that, now that we are a GE Company, we (BHGE) are in the process of having our pay bands and salary levels restructured, or harmonised with those of GE ?

It seems to be normal practice in acquisitions/mergers as the link below suggests:

If so why is it being kept so quiet? Why is Semolina not being open and transparent about it? Why are the people most likely to be affected the last to know anything?

Comment! It's anonymous!

I have heard the same. Apparently, It started about 2 weeks ago. Not sure how long it will last or what the results could be. I’m sure we will know more by the end of the year.

From what I was told it will be on the employee level and the manager decides how that employee fits in the band at GE. ie: if the employees are at the same level now, it doesn’t mean the will be at the same level in the future.

bees knees

Every location mgr better than stoneywood cuz they keep f--- up and loose work. Incompetent hahaha

Congo manager better then stoneywood

1yad lost over 400 posts with troll replies. How long before 1yad is run off for mismanaged replies? GE should replace 1yad incompetent trolling!

1ayd -same old, same old boring troll.

Who is this idiot managers at stoneywood and why still there

Norge ønsker ingenting å gjøre med Stoneywood tusen takk

Stoneywood is one big mess and losing 400 wells is a disgrace. Should put Norway management in charge as they know what they doing.

All BHI will be merged into the immediately lower GE pay band. Except BoD.

Ignore the Troll's irrelevant post.

Anyone know how long this harmonisation review is going to take

Lancashire fracking is on the news today and operator expects to pay £12-15m per well. Heard stoneywood were run off and lost 400 wells. Doesn't help with any pay rises. Shame but who to blame?

GE are being screwed big time and so will BHge. BHge are not being informed because they face big pay cuts to harmonise with GE pay structure. It's a downward spiral from here on. Good luck

I have heard there is currently a freeze on promotions and salary scale increases. Is that because of this harmonisation process or am I just being fobbed off?
