Er, can you elaborate a bit? Seem like an intriguing critique in light of this news.I worked for GE Aviation for a brief time. The part I was in seemed they liked the idea of what they were doing better than the money making product they were actually producing
Don’t forget sears. My parents bought everything there when I was growing up.DuPont is still alive, but nothing like what it used to be. Other iconic companies that have disappeared: Circuit City, Pan Am, Blockbuster, and Polaroid. Fond memories of all four.

Six Sigma is BS. Cutting bottom people is terrible for morale and just leads to fudging numbersIf they weren't selling off business, I would be interested at buying at 13$ a share.
Their management model is shit, and it hurts the Boeing company everyday they use it as well. Managers are not interchangable. When you require no subject matter knowledge, and rely on pure analytics, you have created a plan to fail.
They switched to Simplean while I was there too after I did my BB. Started asking people what process just wasted time and made no sense instead of trying to measure everything.Six Sigma is BS. Cutting bottom people is terrible for morale and just leads to fudging numbers

I think Google and Amazon are safe. You know anyone that DOESN'T use either companies stuff that has a computer?Proof that no matter how big you are it can all come crashing down. The googles and facebooks of the world would be wise to pay attention...

How Yahoo won the search wars:Tech companies are more prone to failure from getting too big and too old, because they tend to rely on constant innovation.
I could easily see Google transitioning from a cutting edge tech company to simply another management heavy, opaque conglomerate.
Of course that doesn't mean they would disappear altogether or would continue to dwindle.
IBM is a similar story.
I guess it's like looking at GE back in the day and saying, "Do you know anyone that doesn't use light bulbs?" ...and then someone invents fluorescent lighting and then LEDs.
So get rid of the duds, but pre determining that 10% of the bottom should be cut annually just means people game the system. WHich they have obviously been doing since the 80s at GE. Can't make he numbers? Just fudge them and be on you merry way.You know what’s even worse for moral? Working with people that shouldn’t be there and have no clue what they doing and are only good at navigating culture and politics. My least favorite people were the ones that would transfer every two years, long enough to claim the did something but not long enough to be found to be a fake.
