Word on the street...
Back in the day, before the sell out to General Electric, the company I work for had four departments. They were software, pipeline services, government utilities and the federal group. The federal group was pretty hush-hush stuff, they were in a secure area and we never really saw any of them, so I don't know if they even exist any more.
When GE took over, software and pipeline have mostly been merged into one unit, and G/U is a seperate unit (it's entirely possible that g/u and federal merged, but I can't be certain). Anyway, rumor is that they are about to hang a "For Sale" sign on the front door of G/U.
I find it amazing that there was this company that was extremely profitable, then General Electric comes in and buys it, because it is so profitable, and in three short years it has to be broken up and sold at garage sale prices. No one is quite sure what will become of the rest of us. They did bring in a new head honcho...we'll call him Salvatore (because I just think it's a cool name). Ol' Sal seems like a real shoot from the hip kinda guy. Things to him seem to be pretty black and white with very little grey area.
Apperantly Sal has a reputation in the GE management world as the "turnaround guy". Hopefully Sal will be able to turn this company around GE can get a decent price for it when it goes on the auction block.
And hey, if they do sell us, maybe the company that buys us won't be so damned process-oriented and can actually get stuff done and make us profitable again.
