Topics regarding layoffs at General Motors

I can only expect more work

Our manager does not care that his expectations are unrealistic. Just from the beginning of the year until now, the amount of my work and responsibilities have doubled. What's your situation like? I fear that the amount of work will increase even... — read more

Not good

I wonder if our leaders can see the relation between the drastic drop in productivity and the way this company is managed lately. What do you think, do they even care about that? It should be easy to notice that people are under a lot of stress and... — read more

I'm afraid it's passive layoffs for remote employees

Sounds very close to what tesla did... Asked to return or quit now. Later did 10% layoff... I mean I can't think a single rational reason why GM wants return to work for everyone. Is it not working? If so then did GM gave sometime to improve for... — read more

Not a good look GM

Funny how GM’s executive director Tam Golden was quick to comment on Tesla’s Elon Musk Return to Work policy. Elon was very up front about layoffs. GM is trying to avoid negative press and the cost of laying people off. Recently GM went on a hiring... — read more

Remember when GM was a great company?

When management knew what it was doing and the culture was not toxic? When we didn't have to worry about layoffs all the time and we got proper raises and could advance in our career if we put in the work? When we only had to do one job for the pay... — read more

When did you start hating your job?

I think there are fewer and fewer people who actually still love their job here. Unfortunately, there are many reasons for that. I am urgently looking for a way out.

Keeping skills sharp

I thought that I would have a lot of opportunities to learn new things at GM. However, I am not satisfied with how much I managed to upgrade my skillset here. There were simply no such opportunities for me. Since I think that keeping your... — read more

IF THINGS ARE SO SAFE AT GENERAL MOTORS

Why do I see so many forceful excuses for why that is? It seems like when General Motors managers want to FORCE you believe something that you really don’t.

Deadlines have become unreasonable

I am exhausted and on the verge of burnout. Expectations are huge. Deadlines have become unreasonable and I don't know how much longer I will be able to sustain this pace of work. Is it just my feeling, or in the past few years that I've been... — read more

Bloodbath at Ford

I have friends who work at Ford and the current situation there is critical. Should we be worried too? I sincerely hope that there won't be such big cuts here.

Devotion to company

I used to work with people who were really devoted to this company. They are now in some other companies. Today it seems that there is almost no one who is really devoted to GM?

Trying to keep my job

Despite everything, despite all the issues this company has, I love my job here. I have worked in other companies in the industry, but for now, here is still the best for me so I care about keeping my job. Do you believe that it is possible to... — read more

I hope that no one will be laid off

Some colleagues assure me that there will be no cuts here, at least not in the foreseeable future. Maybe I'm worrying too much, but it seems too naive to think that GM won't have any more cuts? I wish they were right, but still... is there any... — read more 

I don't believe in "sharp recovery"

Honestly, I thought that the financial results would be even worse. Is there anyone here who believes in something like sharp recovery? I doubt it. The question though is will there be layoffs, I hope not, but I am preparing.

There is some truth in every rumor

I try not to take rumors seriously, however, lately I have been hearing speculations from many people that there could be cuts here. Of course it could, no one is safe and that goes without saying, however, what is the probability that there will... — read more 

What are the safest/least safe positions?

It's a bit worrying news that Ford is laying off 8,000 people and many are rightfully wondering if we're next. One should always be prepared. I'm interested in what you think, which positions are the safest, and which could most likely become... — read more 

Layoffs are coming

Layoffs are eminent at GM too. Vehicles are not selling. Get ready for The Great Recession #2. Money is not circulating into the economy, because everyone is at home buying PJ’s, comfy clothes and food. No gas, daycare, oil changes, work clothes and... — read more
