Thread regarding General Electric Co. layoffs

GE's Poetic Reality

Now we face the Corona-virus
More job losses will soon be upon us
GE’s numbers were already bad
Now the economy makes us sad
I stayed at GE like a dummy
Now I can’t even feed my tummy
I chose to be a GE slob
Didn’t want an outside job
We made our leaders many Millions
While GE was losing Billions
Leaders only look at numbers
Fire the old and hire the younger
The virus is yet another excuse
To wrap our necks with a layoff noose
GE was once a great corporation
But now only produce flatulation
Our jobs are gone and lives are ruined
Nobody can save us, not even the unions

Tearing all the cubicle walls down for collaboration? Shut up and work. Nobody wants to hear your jaw yapping all day. Stop talking about it and do it. If all you can do is yap get out of here.

Very true, it has to get worse for it to truly ever get better for us. Many will suffer and several will be lost. That's just how it has to be.

GE Greenville works in Silos
Employee homes will soon foreclose
My boss said to get Low Hanging Fruit
This means someone will soon get the boot.
To decide who goes they’re taking a Deep Dive
To decide who to sacrifice and who will survive
My boss is part of the buddy parade
All well known for drinking Kool-Aid
We need to hurry and have more Synergy
That’s what destroyed GE Energy
Now is the time to have a Work Out
Maybe Trump will give us a Bail Out
Why bother discussing Lessons Learned
When the meeting is over the notes are burned
Leaders are always making Difficult Decisions
Because they never had good visions
Of how to run a corporation
Only focused on imagination
I’m so glad Six Sigma is gone
That BS really made me yawn
GE will need to experience more pain
I’m just tired of the same old game

GE used to be a really nice place,
They set the bar and won the race.
We were excited to tell others of "The Dream",
Little did we know of the back room schemes.
"Two Jets" Jeff set us up to fail,
He's the Ex-CEO that should be in jail.
Now those in charge of the Ole' Boys Club,
Look down the Totem Pole and give us the snub.
The best one can do is just one act,
Quit GE because that's the facts.
So please Save yourself and your livelihood,
Just Get Out While The Gettins' Good !

The show is over. The curtain has closed
GE corruption has been exposed
Creative accounting or cooking the books.
That’s what happens when leaders are crooks.
The Alstom deal was one of the dumbest
But leaders were rewarded instead of punished
GE leaders boast about globalism.
Some support the idea of socialism.
Until of course, it threatens their wallet.
And with their own dime they have to pay for it.
GE leadership travels the world for free
Paid for by investors, you, and me.
GE leaders say don’t worry and to listen to what they said
They pay for their boondoggles by chopping off our heads.

Lol, the irony of the poor starving poet and the sold out GE employee. I'm so glad I'm not there anymore. Left at a good time to a better job and no regrets. Globalist GE stands for just that Globalist Employer.

It used to be said that GE stood for Generous Electric. Oh how I remember those days. Now it just stands for Good Enough. That’s all anything ever is now at best. From the top down, bottom up, inside out, and side to side. It used to mean you were the best of the best if you had anything to do with GE. Now it just means you’re Good Enough to make things work. So sad.
