The General Electric Company’s board of directors have so seriously damaged, if not destroyed, the financial state and worldly reputation of the company by their obscene monetary pandering of multi millions of dollars to the upper echelons compensations, bonuses and other contrived perks and in so doing have caused the companies stock values to plunge to the likes of those exhibited by GM, Chrysler, Ford and Eastman Kodak. And then they proceed to further trash the companies image by a proposed 68% reduction in the dividend paid out to the stock holders of which many are retired GE employees who depend on those dividends to sustain a decent livelihood. There’s a most unpleasant odor of AIG emanating from halls of corporate and some severe corrective actions are required to restore peace and harmony between ‘the company‘ and it‘s employees (active and retired), stock-holders (actual and potential), associates, buyers and suppliers and customers!
