New Updates!

Please comment if you heard anything new about the situation

Pressured to take VSP?

There are surprisingly many people who say that they were pressured by their managers to take VSP. That's sad.

Severance

GM is likely to either reduce severance in the future or remove it altogether. I believe that if there ever was a good time to be affected by layoffs, now is it. I don't relish the idea of being without a job even for a short while, but I relish... — read more 

Isp

Any idea on what the isp would look like? I really can't imagine it being so different from the Vsp. As isp's are random and not performance based. That would not be fair

GM could have picked different ways to save $2B without threatening us about layoffs. There are other ways to save $$$. Example, freeze promotions for certain period or don’t give bonuses for couple of years. I am sure most of us would’ve preferred... — read more 

Revisiting Returning to the Office "Collaboration"

This may or may not have something to do with VSP and layoffs, but just an observation. We have been doing the "collaboration" 3 days (2 for some) in the office since February. When I'm there, it seems like there are just a handful of people in my... — read more

Manny not biting the bait

Despite a lucrative package, many I know are not taking the package. Life in GM will be tough in the coming months for sure. I am not taking it as the job market is lousy out there.

VSP Unemployment

Do I qualify for Michigan unemployment if I go with the VSP? Also, when can I start collecting unemployment? Right away or I have to wait for a number of months.

Vacation if you get laid off!!!!

Make sure you use your vacation before the layoffs happen. You will NOT get paid your unused vacation if you get canned!!!!

Percentage of those who come back

Although most people would probably never come back to this company after leaving it, there might also be some who would come back despite everything. What do you think is the percentage of those?
