GE does it again!
Another great commercial - big long lines of employees dancing - in their workclothes no less...across factories and fields...

I loved the ones they did previously - one was building a plane and another was building a train, both with emplyees singing on the job.

Am going to email them and thank them for celebrating their employees...nobody does that....

Sorry Rose, couldn't help myself. Guess they're just happy to have jobs.

2. with all due respect--those aren't employees.

Those are actors.

That lizard can't pocket his wallet, either...

Edit: I own some Class B B/H stock and love the GEICO ads but ads are ads, not real life.

3. Don't praise GE too much
They are not as nice as their commercials make them out to be.

5. I once worked for GE. They had decent benefits, but

they really had no problem laying off whole departments without even a severance check. Also, the division I worked in weren't that concerned about work safety either. Also, I was expected to be secretary to two men and sit on the phone all day taking orders as well. I basically did the work of three people.

8. Yeah, right on GE.
They could show Blackwater and Lockheed Martin a thing or two about making commercials. Perhaps they could put some bunnies and kittens in their next commercial so I'd be even less inclined to think of their constant raping of the planet.

10. When I saw that commercial, my immediate thought was
So, that's why we're losing manufacturing jobs and bailing out companies. Everyone is line dancing on the job. I did not get a good feeling from that commercial.
