All I can say if they are true then lay me off sooner than later. Typo many ego driven unskilled laborers here. They talk a good talk but they can’t make any Quality products

@1cjg+1coDwEjF. They would have to make a decent offer, so that's probably not going to happen, especially if they want to get rid of D rates.
Everyone on the floor knows layoffs are coming within the next two months. Just trying to figure out how many that will be eligible for vrips, if they offer them, 55 and 10 maybe. Who cares, its going to happen whether you like it or not. Just keep the resume updated and if you're that worried about it find a job somewhere else. Places are hiring everywhere with good sign on bonuses and just as good, if not better benefits.
What else is new?
Anyone left working at GE Schenectady at this point in the management or union workforces are not great at what they do. Let’s face it, the last of the talent either left 4 years ago, or were laid off do to being ‘highly compensated’. There’s nothing left in 273 but low skilled drones that are going through the motions and cowering in the shadow of more pending downsizing because they realize that the few high paying jobs left in the area for laborers, engineers, and managers with manufacturing experience were filled by those from the last major layoff a few years ago. The only way out is to move out of upstate NY, and in order to be able to do that, you must actually have some talent that people will compensate for…..by talent, I mean something more than expertise in building antiquated generators and their sub components.
To all those left in 273, my advice is to start looking now and leave on your own terms, and be willing to move outside of NYS. At this point, if you’re still there, then you are your own worst enemy. Good luck.
