EVs are a disaster.

Bolt EV permanently loses 20% of it's range after 100k miles due to battery degradation. Also, range temporarily drops by 50%, when it's very cold. https://www.recurrentauto.com/research/chevrolet-bolt-data-and-research

A few months ago there were so many threatening to quit over RTO. I wonder how many ended up quitting. No one in my group has quit. How is it in your group? Now we are hearing about hiring freezes and mass layoffs. Going to be an interesting... — read more 

The most important thing here is to pretend

It makes me sick, but I am aware that nothing will change for a long time because it has become a part of the culture here. Why are pretenders so valued at GM? Everyone knows that these people do almost nothing, but somehow they manage to build a... — read more

Reasons why you lost trust in leadership?

My impression is that the leadership here is arrogant and doesn't even care about building trust with its employees. There are too many reasons why almost no one here trusts them anymore, which seriously hinders organizational success.

Backfills

It's become very stressful to work here. We are all in suspense as to who will be the next of our colleagues to leave, because those of us who stay will then have to take on additional work and responsibilities. When can we expect the company to... — read more

What will demotivate me even more than RTO itself is if I notice that some favorites have been given exemptions from it. I wish that wouldn't happen, but I'm pretty sure it will...

Working remotely is the only reason I haven't left already

I intend to stay here as long as I can still work remotely, and then goodbye GM. Isn't it disgusting how much the management pretends to care about people, while ignoring the fact that many are still here just because they can work from home?
