Thread regarding GE Healthcare layoffs

Unfortunately management due to cost never appreciated their senior employees. They looked at cost. Hire interns is good, but without seasoned employees how will they get up to speed. Many managers feel they are the smartest in the room. Smart maybe, but experienced employees are worth their wait in gold, even if 60 plus. Why VRIP? Keep your talent when applicable and try to push the burnt compromised individuals to a better place for them and the company!

Leadership is supposed to provide vision, systems and support to the people who are actually executing. Leadership is extremely poor in GE Healthcare especially Digital. Leadership talks big about strategy but do not know how to execute nor do they provide a vision that is possible with the people on roster. They do not even listen to the talented employees. Too many beaurocrats and not many technocrats in a place that should place heavy emphasis on good technology. What happened to the good old days when leaders were technocrats, brilliant product managers who were in tune with what the market wants.

Not inclusive? It's part of how every team leader is measured. They just assigned a diversity senior leaders. We have diversity town halls, leadership program for women and all of our leadership and coaching materials centers around diversity and inclusion. Not sure what your expectations are here but I think GE like most companies likely went overboard on diversity.

Maybe you expect equal outcome and not just equal opportunity?

Good thing GE cut the leadership program. I was sick of VPs in their 20s telling everybody what not to do.

People who progress at GE are those who are good at looking good at what they do. Whether they are actually good at what they do is not nearly as important.

Agree with you. Diversity comes in more than two colors and diversity is not just about color.

Yes true. Several more departs this week.
