Great Stock to own, but tough to be in their six-sigma supply chain with the threat of having your business pulled to a cheap competitor ever six months
No argument here. I worked for GE for 14 years. Being a supplier or an employee, it can be tough. I hated the way suppliers were treated.

But the product I had was good, and the price is good.
