I am a former GE employee. I worked in Aerospace on the AN/SQQ-89 project. In fact, I was a critical path in terms of what was going on. That I am proud of.

The fact that GE was more interested in 'soaking' the US Government and the US Navy, I guess I have forgiven.

I don't why, but after I left, that part of GE went to Lockheed Martin.

I felt we did the impossible with the AN/SQQ-89 project.

To my knowledge, it was the first project to integrate computers and fiber optics (how do you spell 'I-n-t-e-r-n-e-t'). Some small company did something with that (AT&T and Baby Bells), but I consider it apples-oranges.

AT&T was for telephones and routing. What a defense system that can use sensory data processed by computers in conjunction with combat computers can do -- that is much more complicated than routing a telephone call from Missouri to Alaska.

I have some pride in what I was able to accomplish at GE.

I have problems with the sloppiness of the work that went on -- well from some respect (security matters).

In terms of the sloppiness at GE, it is something that must be left unsaid because this was a Defense project.

If you don't like GE Credit, dump it and take your business elsewhere.

I’m surprised anyone on this site carries a balance on their credit cards (i.e., spends more than they make). Never done that myself, so I don’t know what my card would do.

I have a credit card issued by GE credit.

Did they force you to use it?

Don't like the terms and conditions of the credit card that you choose to use??? Try this and stop whining..

The beauty of capitalism is that you may cancel your credit card, transfer the balance, and get another one.

No one is forcing you to keep the GE capital card.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Maybe you should cancel the card.
