Topics regarding layoffs at General Motors

Do Managers know?

Do managers know who is on the let-go list? Do they know who is about to get called up to those dreaded conference rooms? My manager seems confident that no one in his group is getting let go but I'm not convinced.

As layoffs continue is there any "order"

Has anyone noticed a structure to the layoff in regards to orgs. Are they doing each director/CIO org has its day or completely random? S---s all the way around. Best of luck to those already affected.

PHX Laid Off

Was laid off in Chandler, AZ this morning. Luckily I was prepared and have been job hunting since Thanksgiving. Hopefully I will have something locked in a week or 2. Good luck to all my friends and keep your heads up. It was great working with you.

Layoffs VS. Non layoffs by age and director

Surprised nobody has posted about the list that was provided to the people who were let go. This list provides the age and employees (no names) and the age of the person that was let go. Has anyone seen that list also?

GM Public Relations

Hopefully after this is all said and done, the majority of GM’s PR team is cut. I understand the end goal - slimming down but this could and should have been handled much better by a fortune 500 company that puts their customers and ‘employees’... — read more

I'm confused, need some advice.

I was laid off today and the HR rep said I will be paid in full until April 9th to compensate for the violation of the WAREN Act. My severance (I believe) is 3 months pay for my years of service. Does this mean the severance starts after April 9th?... — read more

Very sorry for all of the PHX That got cut today

We still have tomorrow and I’m praying to the lord that not many more will get laid off. Today was a brutal blood bath as I saw my long time friends get axed. Let us try our best to remain positive. My prayers are out to everyone.

Shame on GM!!

Hard to believe that a Fortune 8 (or 9) company doing something horrible like this. How are they even considered as Fortune 8 company? The criteria should change. If you need to get rid of 4000k white color jobs in a day (and I guess a total of... — read more

Something we should all remember for the future

Companies do not exist to employ people. They exist to make money, and the truth is employees are expensive. It’s a good but rough life lesson for a lot of the NCH’s that got the axe and are experiencing this, if you want to guarantee yourself a job... — read more

It was a horrible day in Phoenix!

So many people were cut, it’s ridiculous. People crying in hallways, at the parking lot. Doors closed, many just walking around almost disoriented. Mostly no sound, almost eerie, surreal. We were all watching, nothing we can do – a mini-chaos... — read more

Disclosing the layoffs to new employer

Do you voluntarily disclose the layoff to a new employer? What if it never comes up in the interview and they do a background check? Does anyone have experience with either.. or both?
