Thread regarding General Electric Co. layoffs

It's like this layer of dimensional reality that seems to manipulate space-time. I call it the Speed Force.

The post below reflects the sentiments now prevalent in public domain, shared as comments from folks familiar with this culture and elaborating on the comparatively low grade of leaders developed by the company. Employees, former employees and contractors, vendors, employees absorbed by M&As, others. Consistently negative, disappointing experience directly contradicting the legend.

What I meant was at GE in order to get ahead you have to move jobs every two years and be an OMLP of which if they are ever let go, will not do so well in the rest of industry because the are not leaders, cannot think on their own only brain washed by politics and buzz words, and do not know how to produce... Sorry but I didn't see any of them that I would call a true leader... I did however see many intelligent engineers put in a corner cubical because they were a threat to some below average arrogant yet insecure non thinker .... I believe the condition ge is in ... Speaks volumes ...

Sadly that's not true at GE. The higher you look the less contribution you see. GE is terrible at recognizing real leaders. They only care about politics and promoting their pals.

switching every two years by checking off boxes...

Worst advise I've read. May be the short term method of rising in pay, but you're not going to be very upwardly mobile if everybody thinks you'll leave in two years.

"The Fundamentals" learned comprehensively, is how one succeeds and goes forward. Not by some pseudo, two bit process, that was thought out in some "nitwit" think tank, completely removed from FFF and practicality. SPR=Make it Simple, Producible, and Reliable, regardless whether it's a product or process.

I was actually told by my head hunter no more than 5 years on your resume... It gets file 13.... The real world does not respect 10 jobs at one company along the same lines....switching every two years by checking off boxes... You will be blown out of the water by people who can actually lead, think, and produce.

it's also quality of work experience... GE and it's culture of politicians and empty suits is a laughing stock in the real world. 8 years of experience at GE may be worth a couple years of experience at most.
