scho,
GE has been a weird company for a long time. In my time with them, they routinely whacked the bottom 10%/15% of performers in whatever subsidiary to save $. Be it sales, or R/D, they just cut. Stressful AF.
Then when you were spared, you trained the guys who would (one day) replace you. I was fortunate that the division I was in was based in Utah. They pretty much left us alone.
However, my former boss took a position within the company at the home HQ. Shortly after transitioning, his boss (VP director type) got whacked. He knew the writing was on the wall that the entire division would be cratered.
But GE works so slowly that my friend stopped going into the office all together for
22 months. He would do some work from home and occasionally go in just to take pens, pencils, paper.
Sprint may be the only company that was actually run worse than GE.
