Thread regarding General Electric Co. layoffs

Obviously GE doesn't understand Information Technology or Digital Technology in general. They sold off GE Information Services, which was renamed GXS. Guess what, GXS are in the market that GE Digital wants to play in now.

Also if you look around, and the businesses that GE owns, but holds at arms length operate well (Unison, CFM, etc) So to me that just proves that GE's touted management is a detriment than an asset.

@hoc And the GE ship is sinking and on fire. At the same time.

The big companies getting into digital now have missed the window of opportunity. The big players have already carved out their pieces of the pie. I believe, if you are doing digital, then join a start up where you can grow fast, make your mark. These big ships take way too long to turn.

I worked at several software companies and it easy to see GE Digital will not make it. But Flannerty is betting all of GE on it. He is right that Big data and IIOT are the future of IT. The executives and much of upper management are not equiped to handle this task. GE is created this culture of branding, s---ing up for promotions and buddy system. I believe they would better served to keep transportation. Partner with smaller succesfull digital company and keep it to support industrials. I work at digital and am positive GE Digital won't survive dragging the rest of the company down. Good companies can live with smaller margins and grow and be succesfull. Selling GE Appliances, Lightning, Water shows the don't want to be instrial company because that is to hard for them. We should look at how Cat turned things around in bad times. Funny it looks like Cat may be interested in buying transportation.

A lot of people are leaving digital right now.

I think they will sell digital to Softbank.

I have no insider info!

See ya! Been my experience that whiners cling and thats why GE has dead wood filled empty suits everywhere.

• even if you werenot - why wait until your manager has to make your career decisions for you ?

No you’re not! Fake News!
