I've been in a similar spot before, and the waiting game is definitely the worst part of any layoff cycle. December is a brutal time to pull the rug out from under people. If you’re close to vesting, it’s usually worth hanging on just for the financial security, but keep your resume polished and start quiet conversations with recruiters. GE isn't the company it used to be, and you need to look out for your own interests first. Don't let the corporate noise grind you down.
Honestly, the writing has been on the wall for a long time. They treat employees like line items on a spreadsheet, and that cold approach to communication is classic GE leadership behavior. If you’re feeling that level of anxiety, you’re already mentally checked out, which is a sign it’s time to move on. Don’t fall for the golden handcuffs trap with RSUs if your mental health is suffering. Start applying elsewhere now—plenty of competitors value the experience you have without the constant shadow of layoffs.
