I only now see on this forum that there’s a temporary layoff coming to Wilmington. Is that true? I just hope it’s a malicious rumor, and if it’s not, can anyone share a few more insights?
Stop lying to yourselves
There are people on here bragging on how they are doing better and have moved on...This board is looked at and cared about mostly by folks who have gotten laid off or who are concerned about getting laid off. The folks who claimed that they are... — read more
Well....it’s March
Slattery said that the people who would be affected by another layoff would be told by the end of February... and we here are. Has anybody received a notice?
General Electric Aviation is the only company who laid off in 2020
All these post are fake because General Electric Aviation is the only company that had layoffs. Google the rest of the airline industry...Notice no Layoffs....These are fake news

Sooo, when is the layoff?
So what’s the word on the layoff that was mentioned by Slattery last quarter? We were told by management last week that no layoff would be happening.... and we all know what happens when management says something won’t happen.
Wow

Edison works disaster
This Edison works split in Engineering is going to be an unmitigated disaster. Splitting up the engineering team seems to be against the principles of lean to me. Is this new ceo on a mission to sell off the commercial business or something?
Wow
Must be nice being in management and having unlimited vacation and telling your hourly workers they must save vacation days for the yearly shut down and not have the option to take it unpaid and if you use it up before the shutdown you will face... — read more
Callbacks and Rehires
Here in Rutland all hourly employees that were laid off got called back. Looks like from reading on this site Hooksett called back all laid off employees. Did other plants do the same thing? I’m wondering if they called everyone back across all... — read more
VRIP offered
Aviation is offering older salary employees a VRIP. Plan is horrible compared to other divisions or even aviation's own layoff plan. The plan saves company a ton of money of course. I am very disappointed in GE and what it believes is fair.
Taking overtime for granted?
One should be grateful for their job (especially in these difficult and challenging times) and try to always give one hundred percent of oneself. It’s a matter of morality. Is someone on this thread complaining about not getting overtime when you... — read more

Large layoffs hitting soon
Well we all seen the layoff confirming email from John. Looks like a rough road ahead next year. This should not be a surprise to anyone. Aviation way over-hired when things were looking good. Now we pay the piper. Good luck everyone.
Who isn't expecting layoffs?
Honestly, is there one person here who thinks we'll go through the next 6 to 12 months without major layoffs? The entire industry is collapsing! And it's going to continue on that way for who knows how long. If half of us still have a job after the... — read more

Pratt and Whitney Lay Off
They are doing the next rounds of lay offs right now, all over the country. No news on how many total. And you all think GE is special, and no going to do the same?
ReWorded Hooksett
The GM was in Hooksett saying all the people will be brought back, plus 200 more, and the work load will be at 2018 levels. The whole industry is in the toilet, and this is what he is telling people? Next week will tell a different story from what he... — read more

Age Discrimination
A large percentage of GE employees recently RIF'd by GE are over the age of 50. Is there a class action lawsuit for age discrimination in process? These employees are most vulnerable to landed another job.
