General Electric

Working in the GE New Orleans office was lovely. It was the easiest job I've ever had. The people were nice, we had permissive leave so I took roughly 5 weeks vacation per year and never heard any complaints from the management. It was super corporate, but I attribute that as the reason why they could pamper us so well.

They closed the office as a whole and laid off the 100 or so employees.

This was a result of the long-term effects of Covid-19. That said, GE does have a very real philosophy of looking at the numbers and cutting costs in any way possible, even if it's heartless and short-sighted.

I realize this is standard for any company this large, but as a result of it, any long-term employee there is well aware that they need to shift their position regularly to match whatever is the most profitable side of the business at the time.

The only thing you can count on at GE is change.
