To be fair, idiot number one will make waaaaaaaaaaayyyyy more money than the ge guy, all while getting free catered lunches, shuttles, massages, state of the art equipment, free phone, social outings, free alcohol, in office keg. While ge guy gets an okay salary, a last Gen hp laptop with the most stringent av and proxy, none of the other perks, and has to relocate, on his own dime, to Richmond Virginia all for the privilege of getting yelled at by middle management for not doing it the "six sigma" way.

People who don't yet hate GE and want to have a job that's useful. Naive high schoolers, basically.

on a related note these are the latest zazzies-type things to blow millions of dollars on ad campaigns http://selfeo.com/ https://go90.com/ i have no idea what these products do, but they involve mobile phones, so that's enough to solicit tens of millions from desperate investors
