Wonder how our 10 yr temp would be viewed? Is that a GE record
See 1RVG has it nailed. Contractors move from company to company. This practice is a joke. The reality is they work for GE. Just another example of overhead that can be shed in a minutes notice to meet their quarterly numbers. The whole GE company is made of glass. One precise rock placed in the right spot busts the POS company up. The house cards Jack built..the leadership their cannot stop playing games..never ever. You can put Lipstick on a PIG ! But you still got a PIG!
Pretty much all of the IT support is contractors, and many of them have been around for years. GE might change the company it outsources to, but many of the contractors just change contract company and stick around.
Isn't most of the AR group contractors? I thought WCS hired almost exclusively from Genpact.
Of course, they get away with it. Same way they get away with laying people off buy not filing WARN notices....they just bleed out a layoff here and there, rather than drawing the attention of the media.
GE is following practices used by many from lessons learned from the Microsoft suit. Lots of issues but doubt there is any there, there.
GE has long got around those issue by not keeping contractors for more than a year. Doubt this will stick..they are the masters of using contractors but within the legal guidelines.
