From Bill Ruh down, upper management had no idea how to deliver on the promise of GED's assets. Bill's core competencies are blowing smoke up everyone's a--, hiring overpaid clueless acolytes unwilling to tell him the hard truth, and living in deep... — read more
I'm very happy that I'm not one of the leftovers
This round is probably done. I concur with the previous reply that more will happen in the future. I got clipped this round and I have to ay, it's liberating. They softened the blow with a fair package. I am finally motivated to find something... — read more
What’s the real extent of the layoffs?
Is there any way in which we can figure out at least an approximate number of ho many people were affected by these layoffs. I can’t see that they will be done in one day, so is there any word on how many more folks could be affected. My heart goes... — read more

What teams were affected?
Was part of the 1st rif in 2017. Hoping the rest of my former team got whacked. Can anyone list what team were affected?
On Our Leaders
GE has nurtured an undeserved reputation for 'honing leaders' - this is unsubstantiated smoke and mirrors from Welch's days. I have hired and promptly fired a handful of GE alumni (at Director/Sr Director level) over the last 13 years in healthcare... — read more

Discrimination
I worked for this division for a very long 4 months. I faced a hostile work environment and then retaliation when I attempted to go on short-term disability on the advice of the GE Health Nurse. Of course, they didn't want to pay me for 6 months and... — read more

San Ramon
Have not heard anything from Digital HQ San Ramon since Larry said it will be made a separate company. Hearing nothing has been proven to be a bad thing at GE. Good Luck out there.
Rough criminals
Matthias and Binu have thrown away hundreds of thousands of dollars on travel and b---s--- slideware in BHGE digital. I can only hope this catches up to them.
Nothing has changed - still happy I took the voluntary...
I've been gone almost 18 months now and just eavesdropping on my roommates all hands call who is still in whatever IT is called now - boy the delusions of grandeur these leaders have is astonishing. Anything so called "commercial" will be a stretch... — read more

NewCo employees will come to know their bonus for 2018 in March. When will it show up the paycheck? Is everybody planning to head for the exits after bonus payday?
What is left in GE Digital ? 10% of nothing
So now the business take the lead of a 1.2 bn$ company, 90% of it being legacy software. Most of the leaders of GE Digital left, only the most political and least capable still there - i dont know for how long...
When will the GED CEO be named?
Is SM locked in for the spot?
Simon Says I'm Outta Here
The perennial butt kisser finally realized that there are no more butts to kiss at GED and has left to go kiss butts at Service Max by Silver Lake. Wonder what he's going to do when he realizes he cannot IBS his mistakes to other parts of the... — read more
San Ramon
With service max moved out the office in San Ramon is a ghost town. Guess that’s what happens when you over hire, then fire immediately and buy and sell companies immediately. Wonder when Larry will finally pull the plug on the west coast office and... — read more

https://finance.yahoo.com/m/f971e09c-d3bf-3ffa-98fc-8b4ff95b842c/ge-sues-uptake,-says-chicago.html?.tsrc=applewf The executives didn’t do sh-- here. They should thank them. Over priced high paid losers.
Bill Ruh-fold the red nosed CEO had a very shiny nose!
And if you ever saw it, you would even say it grows! Oh that’s Pinocchio!
The main problem is that GE Digital does not truly generate any revenue
All the products under GE Digital (especially Predix) are now toast with champion grifters Immelt and Ruh gone. they were using GE Digital to try and cash in on tech trends (IoT, edge computing, machine learning) but failed miserably compared to... — read more

He is actively lobbying to get the CEO job. Are we gettig another Bill Ruh?
What is GE Digital spin off means for existing employees ?
What to expect from new company to be formed (i donno what the hell that means) Is it safe to stick around or jump of the ship ASAP? Is the 150% bonus deal still happening?
I wonder...
I wonder if CD and NR where actually listened to by Culp and Miller vs being screwed over by Fouler and BR who had the ear of no jet John. I bet they realized it would cost a ton more to outsource this stuff to a company outside GE that had to worry... — read more
CoreTech to be Restructured
The feedback from the potential buyers was hard to take, but no one wanted this bloated business for the price we were asking. Ruh was only around to lure potential buyers. He failed. That is why he was kicked to the curb. So, they put CoreTech under... — read more
Ruh is out!!!
Finally..a good decision. St least he won’t f--- up the new company.
Digital M1 team split finally announced
Digital M1 team split finally announced ... Some to power aligned Some to aviation aligned Some to FDL aligned No layoff for now so good !
CoreTech/Cyber will not be sold, Predix will spin off into NewCo
Also, water is wet. Turns out that when a division isn't designed to churn a profit, it's difficult to sell it to profit-seeking companies. Check your email.
Still No Announcement
Still silence on the the sale of service max and GED's sale to PE firm. Guess Bill is still stuffing his face with Cheese-It's, Jen is in denial of the attrition, and Simon is still licking Khozema's dodo off his mouth. Place is in a death march... — read more
