I worked for GE, back in the 1980s. It was the “Neutron Jack” era.

The subunit I worked for, was almost supernaturally dysfunctional.

I was there for 18 months, and they had 3 reorgs, in that time.

Once, the VP of our division, called an “all-hands” meeting, to tell us that he was a lawyer that didn’t have a computer, didn’t like software (we were a software company), basically, didn’t like us, and that we’d better get on the stick, and make number go up.

Ah…fun times…

Sounds similar to the stories I hear coming out of Boeing

As you may already know, the McDonnell Douglas management team that took over Boeing has a direct line back to GE's Jack Welch.

Are you talking about the management team that moved to DC, because why does management need to bother itself with the widgets or be tied to, you know, their product, they need be focused on the grift?
