Did the gas turbine failure in Greenville's gas turbine validation test stand help delay the layoffs? Was the failure communicated honestly to the customer (probably not - GE is never honest with their customers). If you are linked to the gas turbine validation testing in anyway, make sure your resume is updated. Greenville is about to be a bloodbath.

GE thinks employees are simply a renewable resource. Fire them and get more if you need them. What GE has forgotten is these resources are people and they can hold a grudge. How many grudge holding ex-employees does it take to impact a high cost on GE's bottom line. I know ex GE employees that wouldn't buy a GE product from a thrift store. But the real impact comes when these employees make buying decisions throughout many different large scale supply chains. GE cannot measure it so in their small brains it does not have an impact. I promise you, GE has lost huge volumes of money based on how they view employees as disposable. GE has become disposable.
Customers already know every detail. But only because many ex GE folks are now customers of GE with connections internal to GE. The customers are well aware of GE's smoke and mirror game. GE thinks they don't know. GE should understand when they keep d-mb leaders while cutting hard working employees, those employees never forget. Payback is a Bi@tch. And payback keeps coming 7 fold.
It’s not a gas problem -just lots of hot air from from the broken union.
Scott to the rescue.
Continuous Improvement = Continuously Fixing the Ongoing Problems
Sad note in Ge history.A few years ago a new combustion upgrade was engineered n sent to production ,assembly,operators and QC said stop theirs a leak in around fuel nozzles.managment n engineers said shut up keep building combustion. It was a simple fix a ten dollar gasket.yet the new design engineers said it don't need one keep building. 30 plus engines had problems in the field.cost millions to fix. Most of the managers had moved to better positions by the time the service notices started rolling in. They got a promotion for incompetence.Stay classy GE
