Thread regarding General Electric Co. layoffs

You need to be educated about Inclusion and Diversity. Larry needs to have an equitable salary with all the other top CEOs out there. Life is very difficult for the top CEOs. I bet you couldn't do it. If he was paid less, he would get bullied by all the other CEOs and media personalities. If you don't support pay equity for Larry, it just shows that you are not an inclusive person and don't belong at GE.

GE would go under overnight without the American tax payers money.

Bail out money, fed buying their junk bonds whenever needed, stocks pumped up with fed dollars, special tax rules the little guy doesn't get .... uh that's just off the top of my head.

The best is when I herd an engineer get upset because guys were bashing imelt he put his 2 cents on the table and said Imelt is worth his pay package. And his knowledge is what got him to that position how do you know what he knows. He has been doing great things for this company. 6 months later that engineer was out the door!

@1esd+1bPVdlhu, how is GE federally funded? Their 10K form reports less than 2% of total revenue for US gov't sources.

People in management keep responding as if this is a business. It's not. It is a federally funded welfare program. As such, the CEO should be making the same as any other high level manager in the public sector. Maybe even 400k like the president of the US makes. Remember those who are robbing the workers blind. Dont forget.

@1csl+1bPVdlhu, take up social justice elsewhere. CEO pay is set by market pricing. If the GE Board and by reference shareholders, as they elect the Board, want Larry out they can do so. Your opinion is but a pimple of my a_s.

The poster here has to be the biggest id--t I ever seen on here! U have to have ur head so far up management’s a-s, u can’t see the light. All these CEO’s make way more than they should. Culp especially. Are u stupid dude? I say, Yes.

@1hne+1bPVdlhu every GE post on this website is by somebody who knew what they were getting into when they signed up. So what's any of this complaining about?? Nobody ever knew that a CEO gets paid much much much more than everybody underneath them?? Did mommy tell everyone that they're special and will never run the risk of a layoff? Didn't know a contract would be up for renegotiations and it could be better or be worse? I'm waiting for somebody to start complaining about how unfair it is that they don't receive a bonus for showing up on time, most of the time. This is nothing but a website for people to complain about their employers and if you look around, GE is pretty much the only business on this site that has complaining daily by its employees. Misery loves company and GE is full of some super lonely moefoes!

And he hasn't done a damn thing to deserve any of it.

@ezu+1bPVdlhu Why is it always about the T-rates? You knew what you were getting paid when you signed the paperwork. Wring out your crying towel, put on your big boy pants, and go to work.

So?? He's the D-Rate of the CEO world. What?? Now's there something wrong with somebody being overpaid while under performing?? That sure is funny! The D-Rate of the Blue Collar world seem to think they still don't get paid enough. Maybe he should be made to earn as much as his lower paid T-Rate competitors in the CEO world. Would that make everybody happy? In addition, nobody at GE takes 10 minutes to do a #2 while on the clock. That's a third of the time taken.

Thx for sharing, let's fire him, hire another CEO at "market rate" and pay the same package. GE is a business not a social justice incubator
