IT at CCA headquarters in Grand Blanc was mostly wiped out today. Project managers, architects, business analysts, testers, operations, and programmers. Apparently someone decided IT needs to be in the innovation centers and not located with the... — read more
WARN - NO ANSWERS
Maybe the State of Michigan or state representatives should get involved and formally request GM to clarify the position of severance versus WARN for WTC laidoff employees. GM just have to give an example with an employee with 10 years of experience... — read more

CAD Design or Studio Design Layoffs
Anyone has any update?
Next time, do yourself a favor!
Believed "they" had great ideas moving Cadillac to New York? That was the most unintelligent idea that came out of GM in a very long time. I've posted elsewhere that vision works both ways. The vision to see where your going, and the vision to know... — read more
WARN and April 9th..
Does that mean we would get a paycheck in April? Or only the 2 in March? I was in the 2 year range and my severance would also just get me the 2 paychecks of March. Confused
UAW Bonuses
It’s a slap in the face to get laid off when UAW assembly line workers get nearly $11,000 bonuses. Nothing productive to add, just really frustrated right now.
Is GM still too heavy?
So with all these cuts, is GM still too heavy personnel wise? I look at DRE's that have 1 or 2 components that they're releasing and I can't understand how that fills up 40 hours of their week. I mean, the supplier is doing all the work and the DRE... — read more

Quiet Day
It's been fairly quiet today compared to the beginning of the week. GMIT Austin and Arizona has declared all clear from what I've read. Any other locations. Did Georgia IT get hit at all? Don't remember seeing much from them.
Looks like they are saving Design for last because they are ones do all the work.
GM is saving Designers for last because they do all of the actual work. IT? gone. Purchasing? See ya. I am trying to get something done that is gonna save GM millions of dollars going forward and dramatically improve customer feedback all while... — read more

The recipe to put GM on a repeat path to 1974
The decision to eliminate Volt and other passenger cars sounds like a recipe to put GM on a repeat path to 1974 ... Sr. Leadership is short sighted in a world where oil prices can easily get back to $4-5 per gallon and have consumers looking for... — read more

Has Grand Blanc CCA been hit other than IT?
Has anyone seen much activity at CCA in Grand Blanc?
Is it possible to tell which positions were hit the most?
It’s hard to tell, I know, but can we determine what positions were hit the hardest with layoffs, at least within certain departments or teams, or maybe none of the positions that were cut dominates over the others?
How close are we to the finish line?
I wonder if anyone out there has estimates of how many have been lost from various locations. Given that the target number of separations was 4250 (give or take), that kind of information might help us know how many positions are left for separation... — read more
What's happening at M---ord Proving Grounds?
