I sure hope that the people working at the plants didn’t take this news that the layoffs are going to be stretched to a two week period the same way we office workers did cause that would mean that cars are going out of the factories at a much slower... — read more 

First off al,l let me make it absolutely clear that I’m disgusted by the way the layoffs were performed in, and I understand the anger of the workers that feel betrayed by the company. There were a thousand ways to do this and they chose the worst... — read more

To those laid-off, is this check is suppose to be a regular payroll check? Then everything else depends on the release agreement since the date is "officially" Feb 28th?

I was a 5 star in my group with a very good performance. However they laid me off Monday last week without any notice. they took my laptop and access to the building within 30 min. is this really fair?

Does anyone know the procedure of getting fired from GM (without cause)? Like does it have to go through a direct manager or director, and how long does that take?

GM will learn from this... They are learning what the best way to target the older workforce 45+ that has devoted much of their careers to the success of the brand. All in the name of short term gains to boost stock prices ( will drop back to 32 in a... — read more 

The last time GM had these kinds of layoffs was in 2009. It was coming off a $30.9 billion loss in 2008 and was going into bankruptcy. In 2018 the company made $11.8 billion.

If anyone has severance etc... questions, email invsp2019@gm.com They were able to answer many details and questions we had

Last week the career site was at 42 open jobs as of Friday for WTC and M---ord combined. They're slowly sneaking them in there so it doesn't look suspicious.

Just wondering what GM plans to do with the plans it closes. Do they have plans to eventually start some,e other production at some point, or are they just planning to neglect the assets? Is there any possibility that GM will want so sell thee assets... — read more 

What does this mean ? "Persons who are selected for separation because of their voluntary, unsolicited expression of interest in being" Exhibit A - Selected for Separation. Was my body language bad at my last staff meeting ?

Has anyone been able to determine when you can start collecting unemployment benefits?

I was reading online that if you were 55 prior to the separation date you can actually take withdrawals from your GM 401K plan before turning 59 1/2 without paying the extra 10% penalty for early withdrawals. Need to check with Fidelity to see if... — read more

How many people were laid off at each location? How many are left at each location? Austin, Arizona, Georgia, Warren, etc.

28% less than I was making at GM. I was not making 6 figures at GM either.

Ran across the numbers for Warren Tech and it shows they are cutting 1,298 jobs. Brownstown showed 50 total which 37 are hourly and 13 salary. The Brownstown cuts show it starting on Feb 18th.

GM's moves to cut the old people who are expensive is transparent.

2 Directors at MPG said they encourage the re ent layoffs to reapply as 800+ jobs available. Really? We had no value last week and now they've reconsidered?

World economy is in a slow motion wreck that will speed up this summer.

Did anyone else notice the 2 glaring errors in today's Total Compensation Journal? Queue up the circus music, we have clowns running this company.

Why announce through media that layoffs would last for two weeks just to have it all wrapped up within one? They must have known how long it would take them in advance, what was the point of saying otherwise? To play with our emotions? Please tell... — read more

Reports were that layoffs were to extend into this week.

Used to have an actual purpose, now they just protect people who are lazy and insubordinate. The worst thing you can be in the UAW is a hard worker. They drive the cost of Manufacturing in the US way up and don’t even do a good job....

Looking at the org charts it doesn't appear that any senior leadership was impacted. How is that possible? No idea what criteria was used to reduce head count!?!

GM acts like current engineering employees can't learn other technologies such as EV and battery technology, so just lets them go and hires NCGs who also have no experience in EV or battery tech but cost less. Wouldn't it be cheaper considering... — read more 

It's fairly obvious at this point GM is doing a couple things....mostly firing those with experience and higher salaries and posting the same job on their career website hoping to hire an NCG replacement. Also, they've let go many NCG's but not at... — read more
