I also work with companies that won't sell to GE (since the late 80s/early 90s) because of 1) ridiculous JIT bs with parts 2) extreme hoops to go through to get paid 3) just endless rigamarole at every step with them. It got so bad they switched to selling to Rolls Royce instead because it was easier (and if you know about working with Rolls..this should tell you how bad GE was)
