Honestly, I thought that the financial results would be even worse. Is there anyone here who believes in something like sharp recovery? I doubt it. The question though is will there be layoffs, I hope not, but I am preparing.

But on Tuesday, GM signaled it's prepared for things to get worse. "We have also modeled many downturn scenarios and we are prepared to take deliberate action when and if necessary," Barra wrote in the letter to... — read more 

I try not to take rumors seriously, however, lately I have been hearing speculations from many people that there could be cuts here. Of course it could, no one is safe and that goes without saying, however, what is the probability that there will... — read more

It's a bit worrying news that Ford is laying off 8,000 people and many are rightfully wondering if we're next. One should always be prepared. I'm interested in what you think, which positions are the safest, and which could most likely become... — read more 

Layoffs are eminent at GM too. Vehicles are not selling. Get ready for The Great Recession #2. Money is not circulating into the economy, because everyone is at home buying PJ’s, comfy clothes and food. No gas, daycare, oil changes, work clothes and... — read more 

There isn't even job security at Tesla anymore, which is supposed to be the thing of the future. It's time to make a major change.

Post what you think will happen to them and how to prepare for the cuts. I'll post a link on their board so they know we are sharing experiences. Bloomberg just announced that they are planning 8000 layoffs to save money to finance transition to... — read more

It's been nearly four years since the last major one, any chance we are getting closer to the next one? I was 10 years at the time so I wasn't included, but I also wouldn't have accepted it at that time. However, this time I would be and I'd jump at... — read more 

I'm sick of this place. I started sending applications to some competitors. Purely out of curiosity, I'm interested in what you would say if someone asked you what GM lags behind in its biggest competitors?

In January 2020, GM reached an agreement with Great Wall Motor to sell the plant. The Chinese car manufacturer was set to spend $300 million on it as part of a broader $1 billion investment to establish a significant presence in India. The two... — read more 

I know that it's easy to make anything look good when you phrase it right, but still "GM’s quarterly sales fall but show improvement from beginning of year" definitely doesn't instill confidence. With the recession already starting or about to start... — read more 

In good times, that might be normal, but now it becomes very irritating to listen to a manager full of optimism as he says not to worry, that everything will be fine and the like. All that excessive optimism sounds very fake. Do they really think... — read more 

Seems like old old GM to me. I’ll wait for three downvotes for this to occur at the same time ;)

What will happen when everything goes to EV? I never saw future plans announced for Truck & bus - maybe I missed it?

Maybe I’m just bored after almost seven years here, but still, I think GM needs some radical changes?

If you aren't convinced we are in the decline, what will it take? Isn't it beautiful? 401ks going poof. Some saw this coming. Most others are experiencing the affects because they couldn't.

I don't agree at all with someone who wrote here that those fresh out of the college who were recently hired are any safer when it comes to layoffs. Anyone else here who thinks those employees are actually safer?

The atmosphere is becoming a bit strange and tense. I am even thinking of leaving this industry. What is your exit strategy?

"The auto industry is racing to the safe harbor of pent-up demand that could carry sales for years to come, while the looming economic storm clouds are gathering that could destroy much of that demand," said Tyson Jominy, J.D. Power vice president of... — read more

At a good company, the more experienced employees are mentors that guide the new employees. They help young people grow competence and give them a chance to be proud of their work. At GM the more experienced employees call you names and let you... — read more 

We are constantly expected to do more. If I were to do the work that needs to be done to the best of my ability, there would not be enough hours in a day to complete all the planned assignments. It is no longer a question of whether the people here... — read more 

That's how it should be, the company should reward those who contribute the most. But that’s not happening despite GM no longer being able to attract new talents, while talents that are currently working here are either leaving or are seriously... — read more 

Seem like they're taking advantage of a rough patch Elon and Tesla. GM leadership consists of wolves in sheeps clothing.

I just read that Cathie Wood dumped $12.7 million of Tesla stock and snapped up some in General Motors. She is one of the original Tesla supporters and has been constantly bullish on the company. Many follow her lead, so her latest move is shocking... — read more 

For example, suddenly being asked to document your work like you are about to hand it off to somebody.

Does removal of the OnStar fuse prevent GM from tracking the vehicle?

Anyone bold enough to offer how much you are down today?

Having the people that didn't get fired telling others that the those that got laid off were dead wood. People at GM don't just pull out your grass, they salt your ground. That's what they call winning.
