blowing off steam - I hate HATE the GE ads on TV

yes I worked for GE when Jack Welch ruled, ruined that company (made lots of money but disemboweled the company). I worked fora purchased subsidiary that he used to help him strip RCA of it's assets, like moving older workers over to our company so he could steal their pensions. He also closed down all R&D because he felt that was a waste of money, and sold off RCA technology off to a Dutch firm, them absorbed manufacturing into the GE umbrella before selling more stuff off. but that is just my hatred of all things GE.

about the ads though, have you noticed how it is insulting to everyone except nerdy young men? The parents are too dumb to understand his new job - ageism. The girls (there are not really women here) are not only too dumb to code, that is just for the guys there, but think cats with hats is so much more important than hospitals. I scream turn off the sound or change the station when those ads are on, I hate to think of what the next bunch of ads will be.
