I can say confidently that after being cut earlier this month from GM (salaried), it may end up being the best thing that ever happened to me. I was in a very stressful role at GM and the future looks so bright right now. I have two job offers... — read more 

It doesn't stop on just GM employees. Plenty of others are affected by the bad decisions of our management. A company that provides industrial services inside the General Motors plant is the latest to announce it will permanently lay off its... — read more 

Well, at least we know now in what new and brilliant technologies the money is being invested in after we got cut. Development of transmission solutions for trucks and pickups is something a decent car company should be able to do without making... — read more 

If they had cut Level 8 &9 bonus to 13%, eliminated company vehicles for Level 8, cut L7 bonus from 13 to 10%, all in Jan. 2018, it would equal approximately 4,000 salaried jobs.

I volunteered for ISP, but wasn't chosen. Got a decent raise, 100% of my 95%, and will keep trudging on. Me staying means someone that wanted/needed to stay couldn't. I feel bad, but I know the good people will land on their feet.

Just came across this article and I haven’t seen anyone posting it here so here’s the link. Not good news in terms of creating jobs though, as the CEO stated that GM products need to sell in order to create jobs. So was that the brilliant plan... — read more 

If they outsource IT again that will be funny. When they insourced, they hired all the contractors from HP, thinking theyd do a better job if they were GM employees. If they outsource again, thinking contractors will do a better job than employees... — read more 

Would we need to use our discount/certificate by the end of the month, is our certificate good until it expires in a year, or did we lose out discount/certificate when we were walked out?

This whole episode has me baffled. GM let's a bunch of good and bad folks go. Now we keep the jobs open and let the released apply. How does this DOWNSIZE the company if we are simply keeping all of the 8th level and higher by bringing them right... — read more 

So. The letter from John hater says. You are employee through Feb 28. And pay through 4/9 . But the severance package says. 2 weeks pay forevery year worked. Is the 2 weeks per year starting after the 2/28 or 4/9. The 2 documents seem to be... — read more

I was axed from GM recently. I’m a plant worker and I’m just getting the picture how the job market is tight. GM is going through layoffs, the fact that Ford isn’t laying off in the US certainly doesn’t mean that they’re hiring. As far as I can see... — read more 

Change isn't necessarily good, and what makes them so sure that this reorg of the company is something that will bring long term profitability and growth? GM didn’t make very good regular cars lately, whos to say they will make good electric cars... — read more 

So I was laid off like a bunch of others and given a packet. A bunch of it did not apply to me, but I know there is one stapled part that does: GM Severance Program Release Agreement. For this we have two (1 for our copy and 1 to mail to GM) copies... — read more 

For those that were fired, I'm sorry for some good people and good riddance to others. I saw examples of cleaning house that needed to be done. The shocker was seeing good people let go that does not make sense. All I can say is it must have been a... — read more 

Now that the layoffs are over, it becomes clear that GM expects us to do the same amount of work we did before only with fewer people left to do it. We are expected to take over the work that was being done by other people for no extra compensation... — read more 

Those of us that remain, are nervous and afraid. Rightly so I think. Many feel like an airline crash survivor. Some have used words live survivor guilt. Meetings I have been in are filled with tension and an almost manic focus on assignments. We talk... — read more 

This was the news last week. No break up by carmakers. May not be a scary number but newsworthy. The new car prices keep going up every year driving down affordability. Should be interesting in the coming months.

This line in the release agreement. Does this mean that if I was to be hired by a supplier that was working on a GM project and wanted to assign me on GM property, GM would not allow it? That seems like BS to me, and I might actually be concerned by... — read more 

got my review today. 2.5 percent raise and 100 percent bonus. anyone else?

The problem with laying off people when times are good is that it not only does it generate fear and mistrust between management and the workers but also between workers themselves. I had the unfortunate experience to work at a couple of smaller... — read more 

Has anyone else asked (former) co workers for letters of recommendation only to be told that there’s a GM HR policy that says they can’t?? Can anyone elaborate on this ‘rule’?? It’s incredible to me that GM will lay off thousands of people and then... — read more 

I'm honestly a little surprised that people ask when this is going to be over. I hate to break it to them but layoffs and reorganizations are the main focus of this GM leadership and as long as they are on the top there will never be job security... — read more 

This might be just a rumor and not true. Did any one hear that 2000 more need to go in August. I heard one HR executive who was let go told people that 2000 people will let go in August , no idea if they will do it through voluntary seperation like... — read more

With the end of the second of the two excruciating weeks in sight, I'm really hoping we are done with layoffs for a significant amount of time. This has taken a huge mental toll on all of us and I'm honestly not sure how much more of this we'll be... — read more 

I have been contemplating leaving GM, and last week my manager saw me looking up information about job openings. She brought it up to me which I denied doing so. Any chance this could cost me my current position if she knows I’m leaving?

This is something that many of us don’t want to hear but the fact is they can do layoffs in this way because there is no unity among the workers and we show little or no resistance to whatever they do. They can lay us off, discriminate us based on... — read more 

Does anyone know what happens to pending patents? I was told you will be awarded some large sum once they've been published (~5k$) or so.. so I'm assuming GM will not be paying this..

Hello, is there a way to access let go employee CAP reviews?

Traffic has been getting worse with each passing year. Need to have it at 2009 levels again around here. A mass layoff every several years will help with this.
