Secret layoffs?
I've been hearing my co-workers mention getting a lot of failed delivery messages on their larger meeting notices. Seems like GM is cutting away.
GM is run by crook,liers and cheaters.

GM is dependent on employee+family/friends purchases
GM is absolutely dependent on an emotional connection or implied support obligation to sell vehicles. Not just by the current recently-disappeared professionals, but by their extended families over multiple generations. That's why GM didn't have... — read more

IBM VP HR Admits Firing 100,000 Older Employees To Improve Corporate Image for Millennials

Possible GM Financial Layoffs
Per a friend who is close to the numbers, GM Financial has lower earnings year over year despite having a larger balance sheet and is way below their MTP budget. Layoffs could very well happen there this year.

Workplace of Choice??
So, does anyone think GM is still, or is ever going to be, the Workplace of Choice? I wonder if they’ll ever conduct that survey again.
Well Pontiac is finally going to be DESTROYED! Thanks GM, no more truck, went to Mexico, no more cars or metal fab either, now GPS/Powertrain.
Thanks GM for absolutely destroying our city of Pontiac, all the plants are gone, everything gone. GPS was newer B building and all that will remain is the race wing and what's left of the Dyno labs. Thanks to the UAW and all the consessions from... — read more

Why doesn't GM move out of the REN-CEN and keep all business in Warren?
Considering everything is there anyway, maybe that's the plan? Since they all about consolidation.
To the UAW and Salary people, how much dose it really cost to cover a family with health insurance?
A month, how much for a family? I was quoted $900 a month outside of GM. What do you guys pay a month?
Why is GM IT moving jobs to Ireland?
And cutting down people in Warren. GM has left IT in Randy’s hand and he is taking IT out of Detroit piece by piece. Ireland, why? Contrary to this Ford has its IT centrally and strategically in Dearborn for ever. What do we get in Ireland that we... — read more

Why don’t GM cars sell?
