301 Corruption?

There is talk all the time about corruption in 301 and federal investigations, but nothing ever materializes? What is the truth, or are people just posting vicious rumors? Nobody has been found guilty of anything.

On day one we are going to work.

That was said by our union reps that got voted in and appointed in. But yet they go golfing, show up at the hall late. They are busy shifting the click boyz around the shop to hide the brainwashed losers. Where is my layoff slip?

The only thing going green in Schenectady are the jobs

From the local newspaper- jobs are going bye bye I’m ready for my pink slip. General Electric in September 2020 said it would stop building new power plants that burn coal, which typically have a large carbon footprint. In response to the union’s... — read more

Manufacturing is an afterthought

Everyone keeps making the mistake that GE is a manufacturing company. It's not, it's a finance and services company. Bulk of profit comes from financing and services, that's the bottom line. So they focus there and actual supply chains and... — read more

This shouldn't have amused me as much as it did

I quit last week and when I notified my manager he was genuinely shocked that I was leaving. Even though I was never silent about my dissatisfaction with my job and lack of career progression. He just didn't believe I'd dare and do it. He then tried... — read more

Do they even know what they are doing?

Our "leadership" very often seems so lost and as if they don't know what they are doing. It's a real miracle that GE is not sinking even faster. I may not be right, but it doesn’t seem to me like they have a clear vision and goal for this company. — read more

What games will there be after the jab chaos

Layoffs for 273 and building 66? Work is slow orders are way down in steam people being moved around. I’m saying about 80-100 will loose their jobs because of the jab and that will leave another 20-40 for layoffs. No vRips and no Seros this jab... — read more 

Don't Blame GE

People here are blaming GE for requiring vaccinations, but they forget that this is an executive order from the President. GE relies heavily on federal contracts and therefore must comply with the executive order. Without these federal contracts a... — read more

VRIP's

What are the chances that the company gets the number people they're looking for to retire? I'll bet they won't hit 25%.

Keeping marketable and keeping skills sharp

I hear more and more that people who have been in GE for a long time are less marketable, not only because they are older, but also because their skills are no longer sharp. Why do some people think that the problem is not only with the employees and... — read more

Who runs this site??

Just curious as to who controls this site? Seems like anytime I talk about the scumbags we work with, especially union delegates, my posts get deleted. Just trying to tell the people the truth about their so called "union brothers."
