GE is laying off sales staff and other employees in its software division, according to people familiar with the matter, ahead of new Chief Executive John Flannery’s expected announcement on Monday of a plan to slash costs and jettison units in an... — read more 

If you are one of the ones who were given 60 days notice do you still get severance? That just seems cruel to expect these guys to work for two months and then give them nothing. When will they have time to find a job? Or are you on the books but not... — read more 

Everyone who was cut has been notified in SR yesterday. No biggy! Only 10-15%. They got 60 days to find another job. Life goes on...

Any layoff at Budapest Hub ?

Any news on layoffs at Bangalore Hub??

Such an irony that the leadership can't strategize the workstream, so blames on engineers and fires them, who are just the followers of your directions!

GE started on Predix development too late and is charging its internal verticals too much, generating resentment towards the product and brand. Strategy error to go with roll-your-own IoT platform instead of sourcing from an actual IaaS/PaaS provider... — read more 

I heard an APM team got let go

Emails distributed today, meetings scheduled for tomorrow. We'll have more details soon, this will be sad...

All presales in Americas laid off at GE Digital. They are opening a small # of positions using the well known "eliminate all roles, force you to reapply, so we can claim no favoritism" RIF technique but looks like it will shrink considerably... — read more 

GE Digital's Ruh has announced that role elimination start this week. They have been telling us for quite awhile that it is coming. Doesn't make it any easier. If your area is effected please post. I wish everyone the best.

But does it still make sense if GE is selling $20B worth of businesses? Say Transportation IT will need to align back to Transportation? What a waste of time.

I still see new folks joining teams. Not just developers but SVP and VPs in the Predix org. Is GE not in a cash crunch? Should it not shed and optimize instead of hire from outside.

There are several scrum teams who have been sitting for the past 3 quarters waiting for a Product Strategy or roadmap to be in place. Many of the good engineers got so bored that they either quit or moved to other groups. This is in the Apps... — read more 

G.E. Digital San Ramon - gloomy outlook, layoffs coming. 20-25% staff reduction coming. They already consolidated from 3 building to 2 and only 1 would be needed after the next round.

We start to get farewell emails. What about you?

You want to save money Flannery? Time to dump the overpriced, over staffed, under performing Global Ops division. Call IBM and HP and they will do it cheaper and better. Every time Core Tech does a reorg it's just shifting the same people around and... — read more 

The GE Digital story is really a shame. The mission and vision were correct. But the #1 mistake that doomed the whole thing was choosing Bill Ruh to run it. He's invisible as a leader in San Ramon. He can't keep executives, which causes reorg after... — read more 

Is the hiring freeze still on and if yes, do you guys have any plans for removing it?

I guess we all agree GE is in somewhat of a mess. They will fix stockholders perception with the big cost cutting. The underlying issue is there core businesses revenues look bleak. They say GE Digital has the potential to be major revenue generator... — read more 

I think that the GE Digital Organization has their heads buried in the sand. Needing to reduce heads, and today they put out their we are awesome letter bragging about the success of hiring over 2,300 talented team members globally in key roles this... — read more 

I enjoyed my 23 years. I really struggled with the decision to leave, but I am so glad I did. I was fortunate enough to retire early and put the VJRP money in a savings account. I had no faith in Predix.

OK, nothing more to add - so long friends.

We sold Capital (and look at how well synchrony is doing) and paid for the garbage that is Predix? And we sold NBC and Plastics and Appliances (monogram use was sold with that one), and we got nothing except a static stock price. So what happened... — read more 

...and am so happy about it now... I exercised all my options earlier this year at 29 something, so I missed last years peak in November or whenever it was unfortunately. So I have no financial ties to GE anymore, but I spent over a decade and a half... — read more 

What kind of statement is this? We give up on everything now. You may as well close the shop. http://fortune.com/2017/09/06/general-electric-cloud-pivot/

We've been hiring a lot of expensive people there - maybe a good place to start.

Only 35 people took the severance package at the Digital Hub Detroit. I would expect more layoffs in light of the lofty goal of cutting $1B in costs in 2017 and another $1B in costs in 2018, but not sure when and to what degree. Agreed... — read more 

Doesn't look like cost cutting is going as planned, possibly another RIF come Sept. Anyone heard anything?

Pretty accurate prediction by one day. Forty got let go for roles opening in the US Market! They obviously will deny this! Edmonton got hit hard yesterday for posts that can be filled in the US Market. GE Energy Connection Employees was also... — read more 

Come on, there's no reason to wait. Just tell us we are getting paid to go find a glorious new job

I'm sick of feeling devalued. I'm sick or reorg after reorg. I am taking the package. Digital leadership has no clue what they are doing and making it all up as they go. If they want to sell Predix they need to stop running a day care and get some... — read more 

GE Digital is asking a preselected group of people to volunteer for a massive layoff on 6/28. They are offering a cash incentive in addition to regular layoff benefits.

it's a generous package. I'm taking it

They are showering money on those luxurious predix foundries and poach people with high salaries from competitors, but Coretech laid off employees in Oct. Half of the contractors were or will be terminated by the end of this year.

Or is it still growing very fast?
