There has been very little chatter here lately about layoffs lately. Calm before the storm?

How much responsibility does Flannery have compared to a T-Rate?
It's all about life choices. If you chose to barely graduate high school and not acquire any marketable job skills, then the limited career options available to you are your fault.
How many hourly/union veterans at GE decided not to use the GI Bill to get an education and blew all the money they earned overseas on a stupid truck?
How many union members decided not to enter the MTTP to get a degree and skills that can be taken anywhere because they weren't willing to tighten their belts for two years?
I could go on but it's pretty pointless. Poor widdle T-Rates, GE is being mean to them. Just continue whining and make no attempt to better yourself through training and/or education. Maybe someday an employer will pay you what you want if you ask them nicely.
If you want $37/hour, go find an employer that is willing to pay you that much.
Take a 👀 around the parking lot, this will show you how bad t-rates struggle, there’s an 1990 ford escort out in the east side parking lot.... what’s Flannery driving??
T-rates at the shop are close to 70% of workforce now.... tier ones should be scared. And we need to drain the swamp of the self appointees at the hall.
Why is the company crying poverty, do the math, since the two tier system, where is all that god damn $$$$ we lost $400 a week, that $1600 a month, that’s a mortgage payment alone!!!! For us little guys anyway.
Schenectady Renewables is hiring, look at the all the adds floating around at linkedin. GRC Mechanicall is hiring. Aviation Dowty is hiring... the list goes on... Again, not a rumor, go to linkedin and see for yourself. All these jobs are white collar phd level kind of jobs though...
Any low service union member in Schenectady who wants another union job should leave now. There is a limited number of union jobs in the area; the odds of getting one are much better if you don't wait until a layoff when 100-200 ex-GE employees are all competing for them at the same time.
Hr Manager @ This site leaving Friday. These rats know when to leave a sinking ship.
Last week Schenectady Plant Manager told everyone at All Hands Meetings, Layoff decisions wont be made till near July Shutdown. So, about 6 weeks from now we should know something. Until then, not a damn thing anyone can do to change any decisions, its way above and beyond our control at this point!
In the end, leadership will continue to loot the company and layoff and sell businesses to feed their personal bank accounts.
We are still waiting for the layoffs to come at GE transportation in Erie.Locomotive production will end in Erie by years End.
True
A job elimination target of 12,000 was announced several months ago. The company is not even half way to this target. Expect more layoffs to come.

Typically GE waits until about the second to to third week of june for the next round. Basically to late to affect any deliverables in Q2. Also, seeing how many businesses had their raises pushed back to July, I would expect a layoff before that to help pad the packets of the BOD even more.
Our HR Manager got laid off in April. Hopefully corporate forgot all about us. We have about half the work we had last year, so you would think they are bound to notice eventually.
if you think you are safe in power ...look at your quarterly sales for late FY 2017 and early FY 2018. Come fall , if things do not pick up and you don't start winning GT orders. The boggie will be another $1 billion in cost reductions ...the power market for all OEM players is pretty bleak. I have been at this for some time and have never seen a down turn of this nature.
That is because everything is good now. Stock price is up and has 40% targeted upside from the analysts.
Maybe the trolls are getting tired of hearing their own voices.
Really no need to speculate, it's obvious the plant managers are just waiting for the phone call from corporate to see who stays and who goes.
I'm not even considering the option of there being no plans for layoffs. This is GE after all.
