After the long awaited meeting this morning, we were officially notified that 50% of all employees on the Schenectady campus would be let go by end of 2017 and notified immediately.
Also a few weeks back there was a group of people on campus in Schenectady that were looking at the buildings.
The deal was signed today, half of the Schenectady campus has been officially leased to guess who ...
Lego
They will be manufacturing the lego blocks right here in Schenectady.
This is fake news - I know the person who wrote this. It's a shame people are trolling this site when so many jobs are at stake across GE.
The layoffs in January must have been below the 250 per site requirement(within 90 days) for notification. There is a notice there for the 75 people laid off at the Corporate Tax office in Albany since that entire site was closed.
But neither grc nor schenectady cut earlier this year is on the warn website, did I miss the line?
I would encourage anyone on here to check the NYS WARN website: https://www.labor.ny.gov/app/warn/
Layoffs above 250 people within NYS should be posted there.
The media are clueless and are the last to know. They never got the number from the GRC layoffs in January correct.
This is the best place to find out what is actually happening inside the company regarding personnel. I appreciate the people who take the time to inform others here.
@flq I'd start with learning how to type (focus on proper distribution of periods and spaces)...
Hi...I'm the idiot who they brought in to run sourcing...I will move all the jobs to India...only keep 10 or so jobs in the US...this way we can only have favorites keep their jobs...aka...women...and I will get my bonus while everyone else wont get a thing...the GE way. Thank you to the idiot in Baden who hired me.
@mua Nice try, better luck next time.
It's not Lego... jeesh you guys, it's Eggo. They will be manufacturing waffles here.
Hello. I am Michael Chanatry . I warn everyone to stop using my name here without my approvals. Also getting back to this news. This is 100% fake and I can prove to anyone. Got to learn how much rumors and fake news are floating around. We have some many incompetence GE resources sitting idle and doing nothing. Got to fire those first!!!
should have started by now
@Q7kgqql-atp No, I'm a customer to GE trying to figure out when I need to look elsewhere for my units.
@reh there have already been confirmed announcements in Greenville Manufacturing and Sourcing. 30% reduction in heads, everyone has to reapply for their job.
and are you one of those incompetent managers or engineers that come in and try to tell us how to do our job based off what your little book says, beancounters are the reason ge is in the position it is now
Don't look to this website for news on layoffs. Any credible report of layoffs will be leaked to the media before anybody has time to post on here. If the rumors on this website were true, I'd be reading it in Reuters or Bloomberg already. There will definitely be major layoffs, but I don't believe anybody has announced how many or where.
@Q7kgqql-xrz OOOHHH so you're a union guy. That explains the spelling.
excuse me Michael chanatry and he is the vp of ge global supply chain, basically he says where work goes
@xtk oh yea, well you must not have seen the video blog from Johannes Wartenflop
his email stated, and this was read to us my our ops leader, it state that ge power buildings will be getting closed down and if you want yours to remain open we need to get better with production quality and cut costs. as far as correcting my spelling stfu
@Q7kgqql-xtk Please try again in English. Who is Michael Canhantry and what did his email say?
Email, shemale...that’s got nothing to do w/FakeNews!
hopefully sooner than later, those of you saying fake must have not of hears about the email from Michael canhantry
I’m with Leggo...this post is misinformation. We’d never manufacture in a sewer like SCHY.
Fake!!!!
Fake news. I'm in Schenectady, no such announcement.
Has there been an official release?
Engineering included in 50% reduction?
no warn notice has to be given for union employees, the union needs to be notified that is all
No WARN notification?
