Don't seem to here anything from employees in San Ramon now days. In a way that is good news. Maybe the turmoil is done and Digital can move on.

Turmoil starts again...same clueless people making same clueless decisions..
How has GED performed well? By wasting 5 billion dollars building a platform that no one wants?
Is 21st going to be the big-bang of 2018? Any idea?
There absolutely will be more San Ramon layoffs -- Franklin said so in all hands, and he said it should be my end of March.
What s---s is that GED has been performing relatively well (despite some collosal failures of management), but is forced to pay the price for other poorly performing businesses under the GE umbrella. The disastrous multi-billion-dollar GE pension/insurance shortfalls haven't helped, of course.
What a sh-- show.
It was announced at the all hands that there will be more layoffs, it’s just a matter of when.
When we hired that incompetent Oracle salesperson, KJ, to lead GE Digital revenue generation, she brought in the Oracle mafia who knew NOTHING about our business. After she failed to deliver she jumped ship before the sh!t hit the fan and snagged a job at Microsoft before anyone could figure out what a disaster the sales process st GED was.
At some level people are saying there is another pool of layoffs coming this week and still the team is hiring more people. Can't figure out what this company is up to. For sure management doesn't care about employee's motivation.
The No BS guy is CCO not CMO.
The Digital CFO is now the CMO. WTF does he know about marketing?! This is just another attempt to cover up financial accountability and keep the sh--tiest of managers around.
Layoffs aren’t even close to over. When the Fowler transition starts later this year, resources will be rolled back into the businesses and a lot will be “leftovers”.
I left in Dec. Glad I did! All of old team are job hunting. I heard the Prédix team has lost all interest. Very disgruntled, and waiting for layoff notice. No one could articulate the value of the platform. No wonder it's sinking.
@1dp - those partnerships are nothing but marketing spin. GE will never make a dime on them. The partners might though.
Given the cost constraints GE has, nothing can happen.
Lot of empty space, don’t see leadership around much. Feels like a ghost town on some days. Day of learning was the only positive activity in a while. Heard so much about GE culture before taking up the job, and it is complete U-turn, depressing to come to work. Either the exciting news does not flow down to keep employees motivated, or there is nothing exciting happening here. Whatever happened to the Microsoft, HPE and Apple partnerships? Are we doing any of these projects? Is there a secret floor and team working on this?
