I'm over it, could I speak to my Org's HR partner and voluntarily get laid off as a NCH still in the program? Or is it too late as this point?

Roswell IT Center. Our team had 25-30 people. So far our 2 managers, all our senior devs, and a handful of NCGs have been let go. A few other key people in our space have been let go as well. We are pretty sure they are dropping our whole org

Anyone who has worked less than 3 years and been affected on this layout? Can you share what information you received about your 401k? How about those who has worked for less than a year? Can they expect to get their 401k Employers part?

Two more people just walked out from my building. I was hoping we were done for today, but I was wrong.

I guess no more casual overtime for me.

Does it means we are safe? Will the HR comes back and cut people again?

What’s your message for Marry Barra and GM’s leadership ?

Job seekers, if you're technical skillsets are solicited by GM, know well what you can expect from this once-great company. This is not a culture in which you will thrive.
