You Paint a Rosy Picture...
...but I worked for GE in their Capital division a few, well, MANY now... moons ago. The GE Capital ITS division in Canada was thriving, well-managed, and made a good profit. GE Capital ITS in the US decided to take over management of the Canadian division completely to boost their numbers, since they were losing money hand over fist. Our leadership team took severance (they knew what was coming) and left, and the new leaders outlined our new business model, which was the same as the money-losing US business model. I left soon after, and I think the company was gone within the next year or so, soon followed by the 'main' US division.
So, no. Just because these big, high-powered types decide to go for a drive, it doesn't mean they're not going to go right over a cliff when they're convinced that their way is the right (and only) way...
