More electric vehicle failures you don't hear about

Last October, the Biden Administration began issuing $1 billion in grants for new electric school busses. (The article below cites $17 million in grants but it was expanded.) Let's see how it's going. ... From the Washington Examiner: Emile Lauzzana... — read more 

VSP payout

I took the VSP and my last work day was May 15th. Still don’t see the payout in my bank account. When should i be expecting it to hit my account?

Access to Tesla’s Charging networm

For has singed up… GM will be GM and simply call this a big mistake until EV sales are affected. Ford is the 3rd biggest EV company in the US. The start-ups (Lucid, Rivian, Canoo, etc.) will hold meetings to discuss this change. Switching to... — read more 

Don’t believe the LIES

ISPs are happening! They want to keep it quiet and pretend that you’re safe, but don’t believe them.

Breaking point

I didn't leave just because it would be difficult for me to start from scratch again. I know many people who are dissatisfied and think that the future of GM is not very bright, but they are still here, probably until they reach the breaking point... — read more

Greetings. My mother recently passed away. She has been getting a small pension check from GM for years from my Dads long ago GM employment. Does anyone have an email / site or contact to stop the payment? Thanks.

It can always be worse

Seeing as there aren't any improvements, I have no reason to disbelieve those who think it could get worse here. What do you think awaits us in the future at GM?

Low value employees are next

Do you say "no" when your boss asks you for a favor? Have you had poor interpersonal relationships with your colleagues? Do you do less work than your colleagues? Are you disengaged? Are you combative when issues arise and do you fail to take... — read more 

Did you start a layoff fund when you started?

It's unfortunately always the same result. The day you start at GM, you should be planning your lay off or departure fund. It's never if, but only when they choose to "departure" you. Hard knock life for many people.

They should never be trusted

I remember how they lulled us into believing that the company was doing well and that there would be no layoffs. Giving people a false sense of security and then suddenly cutting them is totally inhumane. The lesson to be learned from everything is... — read more 

Direct employees are next

1st > "performance calibrations" 2nd > "voluntary separations" 3rd > "contract workers" 4th > "program/marketing cuts" You are here: 5th > "quarterly performance calibrations" Try to be a little compassionate toward/about your fellow human beings... — read more

It’s a critical time for the U.S. auto industry—and General Motors earnings showed it’s navigating splendidly. GM stock was rising. These are not easy times to be an auto maker. Companies are battling for electric-vehicle market share in the... — read more 

Focusing primarily on EVs is a mistake

Would be pretty greedy and foolish to get rid of the current talent that’s making you money when future sales of EVs aren’t a sure thing yet. But hey, some things never change about gm and they seem to think they know better than the customer. Guess... — read more 

Contractors are next

Like 2018 the contractors will be next. If the GM Sr Management let these folks go staffing will be low. On the other hand GM will say they're out of of money once the UAW goes on strike come Labor Day.

Thinking it’s not over yet…thoughts?

Seems that there will still be reshuffling and some org based layoffs in the near future since the amount may have been met but not the number of people… By June 30th, all the folks will be gone. Thereafter assessments will be made of each org. Only... — read more 

Overhiring

What I don’t get is why did everyone, including GM, think it was a great idea to go on such a huge hiring spree post-pandemic? The massive price hikes and demand in vehicles/services/etc were obviously not going to last forever as supply came back... — read more

Welcome to the new new GM

I think the old dog is learning new tricks. GM execs know how bad layoffs look and I think they already had a plan when they said no layoffs. With the new "performance" based firing strategy they can get rid smaller batches at whatever pace the want... — read more

Other OEMs

Why don't you all look for jobs at the other Michigan OEMs?

Outside the VSP window

It's incredibly frustrating that they gave us only 2 weeks. It's not enough time to line up another job!!! Like many others, I've absolutely had it with GM and want to leave. I have several irons in the fire but now I'm reluctant to take any offers... — read more
