The layoffs at CAMI were simply massive today. All GM IT was obliterated at CAMI. It was an obvious move to eliminate all those that were not physically in the GM innovation centers -- regardless of skill sets. Over 90% of the people were eliminated... — read more
Publish internal memos about the layoff.
The Detroit free press published an image of an internal memo about the layoff. Upload the images on imgur. Be sure to keep anonymous and post the links here. Fight back against the b---s---. Why do corporations deserve to be treated as sacred cows?

People working on Trucks, SUVs safe?
Just wondering if layoffs are program specific. Since GM stopped making small cars, the teams working on those programs are most likely to be axed. Does that mean people from Trucks, SUVs, Crossover teams are safe?
More info!
Someone went to the press: https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/general-motors/2019/02/05/gm-layoffs-severance-pay/2778167002/
Seeing signs of Older folks getting Axed
It appears that the way they did the layoffs, you cannot really single out age, race etc, but i think tactically they got rid of a lot of older folks (except those old cunning directors/executives). They did get rid of a whole bunches of senior folks... — read more
AEC getting hit again?

Layoffs are not the end. It's a new beginning! (Glass half full)
This has been said before, but it's always good to have a reminder that this is NOT the end. Yes. Take a minute to feel it, as human you/we are human. Then think about next steps with a clearer mind as to what you need to do. Review and SIGN YOUR... — read more
Ex-GM as of three weeks ago - offering hope
Howdy all. I was a GM IT employee who was picked up from HP in the 'lift and shift' six years ago. Prior to that, I worked on the GM account at EDS and then HP since 2006. I was in the VDOC. Some of you may know me. When I heard about the layoffs, I... — read more
Final count today in Austin? Will this countinue?
Any idea what the final count is up to now? Saw whole teams gutted today. This is ridiculous! Any idea how long this will continue? Not sure of how much more I can take of sitting and waiting for my name to possibly be called.
Bad Day at Work
I was let go in the 2009 GM downsizing, then took a job with the Navy Department in DC. Four years later, in 2013, a guy with an anger issue came to work with a shotgun, walked through the building killing 12 people. A good friend was badly wounded... — read more

Anyone sign a non-compete clause as part of getting severance? Did they bring up any reference to something you may have signed at hiring?
WTC AEC
Any news on the AEC building or the labs?
Active safety
Im in an active safety subgroup. 3 out 12 of us were laid off today. Active safety had cuts across the board. Our manager has still not let us know that we are safe and cuts are over. However, we have lost a total of 6 people( 3 contracts and 3... — read more
Severance Capped At 13 Weeks?
If your let go I understand there's a severance. Paid 2 weeks for every year worked. Is that capped at 13 weeks? If so, BS!
Environmental
Anyone know from environmental/ GECS team? How bad they got hit?! Is there more coming?
I am split
Not sure if layoffs.com provide us with value or not? How would this layoff look like without all of us constantly checking and updating? Are we better off? Not trolling, it's a honest question. I am really split, sometimes I like it and sometimes I... — read more

Where to apply after being laid off at GM?
I know this is a wide topic. I’ve worked in IT and my dilemma is whether to apply at other automotive companies or is it a better decision to seek my fortunes in other businesses?
Everyone should convince others to boycott GM
Everyone should tell their family, friends, etc. to boycott GM and never buy one of their vehicles again. Send them back into bankruptcy with no bailout! This is absurd, making over 10 billion dollars last year and laying people off! The greed has to... — read more
HR has been contacting managers with names of who is being chosen and not giving a chance to dispute?
I heard a rumor that managers are not allowed to give any input in the rescissions and are told minutes before the employee is let go. Can anyone else confirm?
RenCen, WTC, Pontiac
Doesn't it seem some sort of physical consolidation is next? So fewer people, so much office capacity. Especially since GM considers China its future center for vehicle electrification (see slide 28). General Motors (GM) Investor Presentation -... — read more

Temporary respite for tomorrow?
Should have given suppliers a vote
We could have helped you guys weed out the useless ones. We usually end up doing their work for them, so we know exactly who they are.
Why no voluntary layoffs?
Why didn't GM offer voluntary layoffs thorough the company? I know at least two people who wanted the severance and to move on and yet they are still here (not sure if it'll stay like that, but for now, it seems so.) Why not offer people who want out... — read more

Layoffs in Aero
Has anybody been terminated in Areo? Heard it’s happening this week.
Should I still worry?
We had cuts yesterday but nothing so far today. We haven't gotten an official word that we are done, though, as some have - if I understand correctly. Now I'm worried that despite today being a quiet day for us, more might be coming our way before... — read more

Engineering south updates?
Anyone over at engineering south at wtc have any news? What floor are they on? Have they concluded? Who was laid off on your teams at what level and out of how many?
This is inhumane!
How do they expect us to function like this for two full weeks??? Is their goal to get more of us to break and quit under pressure? Because I can't think of another reason that would explain GM dragging this out for full two weeks. This is... — read more
Seriously, Is working at GM a plus or a minus on my resume?
When applying at another company will they consider my work at GM as a sign of credibility or have other employer gained insight into the story what this company has become? It would be nice if someone posted their personal experiences regarding... — read more
