Taxis waiting to take people Home

Can someone confirm whether the taxis are prepaid by the company or is it a second slap in the face for those who have to return company vehicles by making them pay for an expensive cab ride home?

Cruel ways to save money

From what we're gathering it seems both low performers and high performers are being laid off. Many of them also seem to be a few months or days away from being vested. Pretty cruel way to save money and stick it to the individual worker.

Cost saving

I wonder how many of you people laid off gave the recommendation to cut salaries by 10 or 15 percent? No mention of the 22 million another 'employee' makes per year. Or the millions that other employees make each year. Or maybe it was the removal of... — read more

What timing - Recall on 2018 Equinox

I just received this email: "This is the [Dealership Name] Chevrolet Concierge team and this is notification regarding the open recall on your vehicle." GO GM! So glad I sold my (paid off ) Toyota to buy your vehicle only to then get let go!

Life After GM

I was part of the 2009 cuts, and I understand VERY well what you all are going through. The anxiety, sleepless nights, the seeing the whys and why nots you would be laid off, etc. It is excruciating. In 2009 when they laid us off, my area was done... — read more

I survived but it was really hard coming in this morning.

A lot of people I consider friends got cut yesterday and I think it's shameful the way we were all treated. For those of you who still don't know, I'm sorry. This was just handled so poorly that I'm ashamed to admit I'm still employed.

Any chance Austin is done?

Do Managers know?

Do managers know who is on the let-go list? Do they know who is about to get called up to those dreaded conference rooms? My manager seems confident that no one in his group is getting let go but I'm not convinced.

As layoffs continue is there any "order"

Has anyone noticed a structure to the layoff in regards to orgs. Are they doing each director/CIO org has its day or completely random? S---s all the way around. Best of luck to those already affected.

Layoffs VS. Non layoffs by age and director

Surprised nobody has posted about the list that was provided to the people who were let go. This list provides the age and employees (no names) and the age of the person that was let go. Has anyone seen that list also?
