So what preparations are you all making for the inevitable if it happens to you? Have you emptied out your desks/cubes (5S'ed everything)? Any spending habit changes? Update resumes? Looking online for jobs yet? Etc Etc

stayed holed up in her ivory tower until the bloodbath was over, or greeted you at the exit with a handshake? Or would neither matter? What might offend you otherwise? I wouldn't want the handshake.

Truthfully don't worry. You're surrounded by dozens upon dozens of tech companies. Opportunities are endless. Don't think GM is your final stop.

I'm curious to know how everyones workload is. I haven't had anything to do this year besides mandatory training. No new projects have been allocated, manager said requirements are still being hashed out. Thinking I'll be on the chopping block next... — read more

Or just bye bye? What is the usual process? This is highly unusual - firing a huge chunk of employees when they also bump up earning numbers.

Or just bye bye?

Beware GM Employees....! I work in IT and have been instructed to flag anyone who is accessing this website from their work devices.

They keep saying they have no information whatsoever. How can that be? This is all kabookie theatre. By now, lists must have been prepared resource allocation must be going on. Is this winning with integrity?

Since I’m seeing a lot of salaries thrown around feel free to see how you compare to your peers. It is illegal to prevent sharing of salaries so no worries. Please post what you feel comfortable with - level,position, and base salary

Is this winning with integrity? A simple actual update would go a long way

It makes sense.. you are not expected to be on call while on vacation.. if management denies vacation it will prove that they know..

Now I've seen several people say that next week will bring the worse of it and today should be either very low or no layoffs at all. If that is true, I'm honestly not sure if I should feel relieved or p-ss-d off that this whole thing is going to get... — read more

Does any location have increased security? Any updates from managers?

I own five non-GM vehicles. Some new, some not. GM will never earn my money. It's already engrained in my family never to touch a GM product. You want to work there, fine. Fair pay for fair work, nothing more, nothing less. Don't expect me to... — read more

Anyone who gets laid off gets rated 100% for bonus.

The actual plant workers are the backbone of the car industry, and no matter what technology they deploy the final product will always rely on workers that produce it with their own two hands. My take is that with this GM gambled away its most... — read more

Anyone heard anything about POC being laid off at a higher rate than others?

Did a little bit of shoulder surfing around HR desks and saw this from a powerpoint slide the lady was working on.

Increased security is usually a sure signal that layoffs will take place sometime during the day. Has anybody noticed more security at their locations so far? We're still good on that, but that doesn't mean things will not change sometime later in... — read more
