GE Healthcare is laying off 123 people in Wauwatosa as part of its previously announced plans to move as many as 250 jobs from Wauwatosa to its headquarters in Chicago or regional offices.

GEHC culture is the worst I have seen it in the 15+ years I have been here. We are hemorrhaging good people even during a pandemic. If someone good has not left, they are certainly looking. GEHC no longer values expertise and knowledge, they value "yes-men" and politics. It's not what you know, it's who you know and how much you can s—up. Don't let your spirit crushed. There are good companies out there that place value in diversity of thought.
Employees should be highlighting the poor treatment of employees through these moves and decisions. The USCAN Leaders (especially Everette and his side kick Brian McGarvey) stress the values of diversity and inclusion, however, with these moves there is age discrimination, gender discrimination and race discrimination. They should be held accountable for the treatment of many employees who were dedicated to GE. Many employees with years of expertise (15 to 20+years), no history of poor performance and or niche knowledge have all been let go due to a transfer of work to Chicago and a brick and mortar strategy, which now isn't anywhere in sight due to the pandemic. There should be more people highlighting this to Larry Culp and his HR lead. What GE Healthcare is doing is k–ling their business from the inside out. Everyone is running scared because if you disagree or have conflict...they will run you out the door. It's a sad sad place.
Any SERO packages being given?
This is how GE gets rid of older high paid pensioners. Move locations and replace with about half as many lower paid employees. They probably don't offer moving expenses so those with families and roots can't go.
