A lot of standing around in Schenectady 273 and 66
The VRIPS being talked about is an extreme unheard of number. The last time a big number like this was talked about was back in 89. A lot of people lost their jobs back then. Well if this VRIP number is right and say if 15-20 qualifying members take... — read more

Vaccine, job or layoff in 273

The vaccine
Curious if GE is going to mandate the vaccine. They might not need to do a layoff depending on how many people walk.
Reinvestments
There is a lot of talk about GE selling things. I wouldn't like to enter a discussion about whether many of the rumors and media headlines are true, but I am hypothetically interested in where the money could be reinvested?

The huge sale of power to a French company will cost Schenectady major job loss

GE is trimming the labor for a sale of Schenectady’s power
GE is taking the loss and putting 273 and 66 for sale. GE has to keep the stocks going up so big wig bonuses will get paid in full. This will all happen at the cost of a very large quantity of cuts at 273 & 66. I do have to say I have marketable job... — read more
Repeat after me
Just because I'm getting a bonus or a wage increase doesn't mean my job is safe. Now keep saying it until you start believing it because it's the truth. Ask some of the people from previous layoff rounds if you don't believe me. Even a promotion... — read more

Can this happen?
GE will soon sell off its pension liability to an insurance company. The pension is then not guaranteed by the pension board and the insurance company is sure to mismanage it. Do not rely on your pension being there. Somebody who knows more about... — read more
