1 EGM and 2 DREs in Thermal so far

Has anyone seen much activity at CCA in Grand Blanc?

It’s hard to tell, I know, but can we determine what positions were hit the hardest with layoffs, at least within certain departments or teams, or maybe none of the positions that were cut dominates over the others?

I wonder if anyone out there has estimates of how many have been lost from various locations. Given that the target number of separations was 4250 (give or take), that kind of information might help us know how many positions are left for separation... — read more 

Spouse here. I feel like we're living in a dystopian novel in which "the man" will come and take people out of work without rhyme or reason. Nobody knows who, when, or why. Machiavelli couldn't have written the script with more horror. I'm seeing a... — read more 

GM finance chief Dhivya Suryadevara said higher commodity costs in 2018, reflecting in part the effects of tariffs on steel and aluminum, carved more than $1 billion out of the company’s bottom line last year. She said GM cut costs in other areas to... — read more 

Normally, you would have confidence is your senior management ... you would normally have confidence that they have the proper education and experience to run and manage a company. Barra and Mott have just shot themselves in the foot ... they will... — read more 

Any serious layoffs anywhere, or are they just picking up ones and twos they missed over the last few days?

My GM experience can best be described as "numbing". Even before the firings, I noticed how miserable most employees were and that showed in how they treated each other. I didn't expect a hug-fest environment, but also didn't expect the Hunger Games... — read more 

Many of my colleagues and I where let go this Morning. I’m pretty relieved that this is all over with now. Greener pastures!! :)

Trying to see if there was any logic other than target cost ... In our case the first person on the list of cuts was one of the most senior people ... but definitely the one with the highest salary. Then there were some new hires (who probably got... — read more 

I vote NO CONFIDENCE in GM Senior Leadership Starting With M Barra (Who as a former VP of HR should know better). How could any competent leader have as many new hires as GM in the last 5 years ... and then implement such draconian cuts (including... — read more 

Still have not really heard of any Designers being hit. I wonder why?

Surely no coincidence that the layoffs were announced just as the Independent Monitor left.

I think it really depends on the individual and jobs you get when you're in your TRACK rotation. I learned and gained a lot of knowledge working on different programs at different times of the GVDP. I was able to grow a huge network through all of... — read more

Large conf rooms are blocked off, water bottles are in the room. Probably waiting for executive to arrive to start the axe.

Official / unofficial count from Austin IT?

HR room which had been empty all week now has a few people in it. The conference room closed sign has been on the door all week but the door has been left open. Door is shut now with the sign still on it. Not a lot of activity but a change.

Just walked through the aisle of conference rooms where "the talk" has been occurring. No HR or security down there as of current.

Because payments can no longer be made. Any gate at tech center on weekend would work I'm thinking.

The HR Dementors are at VDOC today. I'm one of the first.

If I'm not mistaken the WARN notice provides the employee 60 OFFICIAL days advanced notice to that individual will be let go. I'm seeing that a WARN notice was issued for WTC correct? But was filed after or on the same day that layoffs started. What... — read more 

This all looks so much like a prep for a sale/merger. While that may soon happen, before that is this prep for a SPLIT, from Cruise. They want Legacy GM to look good on paper when it goes freestanding.

I took the VSP for which I am thankful since this situation now breaks my heart. I was GM then became Delphi and then back to GM 2009 with the Delphi plants. 30 years with GM and 10 with Delphi. GM refuses to honor health care- no pension since went... — read more 

Anybody seeing anything this morning? Please share it here. Thanks!!!

Any signs of AEC getting hit today?

Is there any activity at the Engineering blg?

Any information out there on separations being carried out at Pontiac? With the weather day yesterday it seems activity was suspended. I would suspect today things would be crazy but it seems quiet

For those let go this week, were you told to make sure you come into work?

Has anyone heard if they're done with IT yet--particularly in Michigan?

Any sign they’re happening today? Just saw HR walk through so I’m guessing it’s round 3

Are they done with contractors for now?

Layoffs happen yearly, and it's not advertised. Usually it mostly affects the contract personnel depending on the program. The reason why this one was made public, is because not enough salaried took the buyouts. Every 8-10 years, GM bloats it's... — read more 

My son was laid off on Monday, and he is devastated. I've never seen him like this. As a mother, it breaks my heart to see him like that. I can guarantee you General Motors that I am done with you forever. You lost a loyal customer with this move... — read more 

If they are eliminating roles and not people... Why are job postings for eliminated positions being added to GM careers the same or next day people are walked out. And in many instances very talented people. The media should cover some of these... — read more 

As someone who finished TRACK last year I’m not sure how you believe TRACK employees will lead GM into the future. Most (myself included) are completely clueless until someone shows them the ropes. I felt the program was a waste of time and I got... — read more 

Does anybody know for sure?
