What to say when the new boss proposes getting rid of summer Fridays...There's a new sheriff in town. Yesterday, General Electric said its [...] is trading his corner office for that retirement life later this summer, after 16 years on the job. Longtime GE exec [...] will take his place. GE's the company you can thank for everything from your stock of lightbulbs to MRI machines. Immelt made the call to sell off a lot of other divisions in order to focus on the core biz - like industrial manufacturing and renewable energy. But that hasn't helped the company's bottom line, and its market value has tanked in recent years. Adding to the pressure is an activist investor that's been pushing for more cost-cutting. Now, the company says Flannery - who's been there for decades and turned around GE's healthcare business - will make it happen. Speaking of musical chairs, one of Uber's top execs is now out of a job. It's unclear exactly why, but it comes as Uber's board has been weighing what to do about the results of an investigation into the company's culture. CEO Travis Kalanick could also be taking some R&R. Do the boardroom shuffle. |
