First wave of Detroit and Ohio layoffs starting in the next two weeks. Just a handful of folks at this point. Restructuring going on.
Buyout?
More than rhetoric going on recently
Digital Layoffs 2020
First quarter layoffs for Digital in Van Buren will be coming. Slackers beware!
I like working here
I figured Christmas is the best time to share this, maybe people will not be as cruel as other times when somebody says something that doesn't agree with the majority. Say what you will about GED, but it is still one of the best jobs I've ever... — read more
When can we expect more layoffs?
It's been a little too quiet here for my liking lately...
San Ramon Predix Loves it
https://techcrunch.com/2019/12/03/aws-launches-sagemaker-studio-a-web-based-ide-for-machine-learning/ Yes they are glutton for the mouthfeel, texture and stench of Amazon AWS Sh*tting all over their stupid faces. Seriously though, who wants to... — read more
Dybeck leading Digital?
“In addition to serving as CFO, GE said that Dybeck Happe will lead the company's digital technology and global operations.” DIgital Technology as in DT or GE Digital?
Well that’s that.

How much $$$ GED lose total in these years?
They lost billions in total, but how much came to GEDs part? https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/30/heres-why-ge-fords-digital-transformation-programs-failed-last-year.html
Predix
What is future of Predix ? I am seeing no communication, development or investment in it and it has had several outages in past few months for which no RCA given. I am beginning to believe the rumors that it's going to be shutdown in 2020.
Is this true?
Alpharetta was impacted SRE engineers were hit they were also told the Data Center will be in Dallas Tx by the end of the year they will be closing the Alpharetta office soon. Does anybody know if Alpharetta is really closing? Anything else... — read more
GE Digital Layoffs coming
Heard from a senior guy. More layoffs at GED coming this week. Apparently they don't have pipeline of customers.
Miami Office
How is the Miami office be affected by recent layoffs in San Ramon and other location. Has anyone been let go in the Miami office? Been seeing GE Digital open job positions from this location lately. Whats going on? Hiring and uncertainty and firing... — read more
San Ramon
How many employee are left in San Ramon? We keep hearing that the number 1800.
Pat - You need to clean house
So... After waiting 10 months to hear something about NewCo, Pat comes to the all hands saying there is going to be a delay and we should stay "customer focused". C'mon - didn't Steve Martin already wear out the European works council excuse and... — read more
GE Downsize
The exit of about 68k BHGE employees, 10k Transportation and power layoffs will reduce company size to around 185K in 2019. So i believe corporate, global ops and IT types staff will be reduced because they have about 100k less employees to support... — read more
Spinco
Is setting this up as a separate company the only way to show that GE divisions are customers and thus "real" revenue ?
Not a single mention of Digital in the GE Fraud manifesto
That’s actually not good for GED. https://gallery.mailchimp.com/199a11600490e42b3dcf6d2ee/files/fa29f469-c222-4a94-a324-ccf2cfea50ef/20190815GEWhistleblower_Report.pdf
Layoffs in GE Corporate
Layoffs are going on at GE Corporate. The layoffs are selectively informed to the employees and not in major announcement.

Pivotal Write Down from Ford
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/07/25/pivotalfordwrite_down/ GE cashed out of its investment holdings last year with some profit before Pivotal crashed. Reading the article it mirrors an awful lot of GE Digital. Me Thinks NewCO should merge... — read more
Byrne was a TERRIBLE choice
Virtually no experience in the software business, nor in enterprise solutions. Mostly niche hardware stuff. No familiarity with high growth tech areas critical to GED and its customers. Only qualification is being a friend and minion of Culp. This... — read more
New CEO for GE Digital
Byrne From Danaher connection. Acting CEO Martin leaving. Eddie is leaving too. Cleaning house from top, long overdue but this has been the problem for GED all along. Each leadership change resets their strategy and their target market.
Q3
It’s summer. It’s going to be quiet. My guess is you’ll see some more cuts at the end of Q3 when it’s clear they can’t make their numbers and still don’t have a newco or a real ceo. There will be more ‘painful decisions’ made then. Will they have... — read more
What’s going one
It’s been soo quite this days. What’s going on, any rumors about the Newco and spinoffs ?
Customers won’t invest without clear future
GED is committing s--c-de by not providing a clear path forward - business and product - for current and prospective clients. This is hugely irresponsible and not fair to those who are still on the job trying to make it work. Who is “Culp”-able for... — read more
Lots of resignations
At least in customer success. I guess it was bound to happen with the collaborative delivery model...
What is Martin’s title still “acting” CEO?
Perhaps Larry is trying hard to break it up and sell it off, and thus no need for a CEO?
Next cuts shouldn't affect GED much
There were VPs, and managers laid off, and Eddie said some of the pre-layoff departures were not voluntary (they let those people save face). Next cuts shouldn't affect GED much -- the cuts were deep, and you can't cut much deeper -- next cuts should... — read more
I hate this lack of transparency
Good management is honest and open with its employees even when times are tough. It seems to me that we are purposefully left in a dark about what's happening at GE Digital. Layoffs come and go out of the blue, and each time we are left guessing if... — read more
BHGE Digital -- What's next?
Re-post-- What is happening? When is the next wave of cuts? When are we going to hear the layoffs of managers, VP's, EB's? Why are salesmen still employed here when there is nothing to sell? Does Derek know there is no value for the AI cr*p that... — read more
Fire/Garage Sale for GE Digital Assets
Latest 10-Q indicates ServiceMax was sold for $200MM after being bought for $900M, I guess that is a better ratio than Alstom.....At least they were on a legit platform despite being another commodity web app. Or Bill Ruh k--led it in spectacular... — read more
No customers should ever trust any industrial IOT solutions from GE
San Ramon started quiet lay-off in 2016 but saw it coming in early 2015 when operations couldn’t support the apps offered to other GE businesses. Management team was the worst in Silicon Valley. It was full of old-Cisco burnouts who are still pulling... — read more
Any more layoffs?
Don’t see anything mentioned in the last couple of days so I’m wondering have the layoffs at Digital stopped. Any layoffs in the last couple of days?
Was it really just 172 people?
To me it seemed like more.
Anything today?
At my office there were no layoffs today? Were there locations that were hit today? Can’t seem to find anything on this board regarding layoffs today. Does this mean they are done for now? If not, does anyone have a clue when will the next big hit be... — read more
