The company has decided to eliminate 120 jobs at its GE Digital facility in San Ramon, GE reported in an official filing with the state’s Employment Development Department. The staffing reductions are due to go into effect May 22. “Certain of the affected employees have been, or may be, offered new positions within the company,” Richa Gupta, a human resources executive with GE Digital, wrote in a letter to the EDD. “Affected employees who receive and accept such offers will not be terminated as a result of this action.”
The job cuts have not prevented extensive advertising of new positions at GE San Ramon (see here, here, here, here, and here and on the company website).
