Thread regarding GE Power layoffs

GE is like that new 1957 Plymouth Belvidere, that was put in an underground time capsule in Tulsa OK, for 50 years.

THE CAS and and its new sibling XLP are a marjor part of the reason why GE culture is rotten to the core. The production and promotion of leaders from these programs and their subsequent injection into the various GE businesses is akin to self injection of potent venom into your body.

End these programs now. They are waste of money, chase away good talent and are responsible for producing and pushing into our organization of terrible leaders.

As a female 20 something who experienced s-xual harassment worked her a-- off while the men went to 2 hours lunchs and happy hours and dumped their work on those of us that didnt and then they got promoted... not everyone is working 20 hour workweeks but Id like to see what part of your diverse group who is not white males only work 20. glad to be done with that sh--hole. I have been told by multiple people I should have sued based on the things I experienced. They were before #metoo and the no retribution c-ap.

At this point, taking all your advice list wont dig that sh--hole out. Let it sink and get sold for sc-aps.

The main topic of a recent meeting was around the idea of diversity. The slide deck shown 53% of the team is employed 3 years or younger and 83% are male. The VP talked about how we need fresh ideas and new talent while in the same breath talked about providing domain knowledge for our Power customers. She also talked about shrinking the gender diversity. Being a 20-year veteran and a white male my time was limited, with a heavy heart I decided to move and left GE. The last person please turn off the lights.

Agree

These kids lack real life experience and their sense of self-entitlement shows it. Also why do they need to hire immigrants? Hire Americans, especially white Americans, no more overseas VISA's. Make GE Great Again!

Agree with all except the forced ranking. That was an ineffective system that many other companies also copied and discarded since they never actually revealed to you exactly where u were in ranking in relation to other employees.

My humble suggestion would be to get rid of this very aggressive GE work culture where employees are constantly stressed and over-worked and which doesnt even deliver good results.

GE just stopped forced rankings a couple of years ago but the problem has been in the making for years during which there was forced ranking. All that happens in forced ranking is that incompetent managers award high rankings to their incompetent but charming reports.

As one of those twenty somethings that came through the leadership programs - I agree.
