Employee Unions are being consulted as we speak. Numbers change every month with stock price decreasing. Last rummors in baden, switzerland mention about 870 people fired out of the current 2,500.
God bless Europe' unions messy laws, saving us for a few more months i guess...

Very unfortunate!!
There will be no employees based there is what the poster meant. Of course customers will receive support. All Power employees will be let go in Baden/Birr.
What are you talking about? GE will not be out of Switzerland by 2Q 2018. They are in the middle of executing HA EPC projects. Are they supposed to just stop and tell the customer tough luck? There's other work going on too. Layoffs in Switzerland? - Yes. Out of Switzerland all together? - Definitely not. Legacy ALSTOM gas turbine engineering should be very worried though.
GE will be out of Switzerland completely by 2Q 2018. If you can find another job, strongly consider taking it!
wow, the numbers are staggering
