The 'organizational alignment' talk is just corporate doublespeak for cutting costs to satisfy shareholders after the spin-off. I’ve seen this script play out too many times in the GE ecosystem. If leadership isn't offering any reassurance, it’s because they’ve already signed off on the headcount reduction plan. Don't wait for a formal notice to start updating your resume; check the local labor department filings in your state regularly, as those often leak before the internal announcements hit the town halls.
I'm in one of the North American sites and the silence from the top is deafening. Usually, we get a flood of 'growth mindset' emails, but everything has gone dark lately. My manager couldn't even look me in the eye during our last 1:1, which tells me all I need to know. At this point, we’re all just waiting for the calendar invite to drop for an 'all-hands' meeting that turns out to be a pre-recorded layoff video. It’s an exhausting way to work.
