Don't let GM define your worth
Your job at GM doesn't define your worth in this world. You are a human being placed on this planet for a reason. Don't let this difficult time make you question your worth. God loves you and sent his son to die for you. You're worth it.

Two weeks notice or no?
Hey Guys, I found a different job that I'm planning to start mid march. I was thinking about putting in a two weeks notice Feb 15 to get my bonus on the 28th, but I've been thinking I could just be walked out before the 28th. What do you guys think?
So are they going to start laying off right in the morning?
Will the blood start spilling as soon as you arrive to work?
