Severance Pay

I have some questions about the severance package and how it will be paid. I understand that everyone would get paid the next two pay checks (Feb 15th and Feb 28th). But how will they pay the severance amount? Say for example, you have worked for 4... — read more

I'm confused, need some advice.

I was laid off today and the HR rep said I will be paid in full until April 9th to compensate for the violation of the WAREN Act. My severance (I believe) is 3 months pay for my years of service. Does this mean the severance starts after April 9th?... — read more

Very sorry for all of the PHX That got cut today

We still have tomorrow and I’m praying to the lord that not many more will get laid off. Today was a brutal blood bath as I saw my long time friends get axed. Let us try our best to remain positive. My prayers are out to everyone.

WTC and Austin only?

I only see posts regarding WTC and Austin here? Was anyone else affected today? Frankly, is it only IT/Tech that's affected? Why nobody else posts?

Shame on GM!!

Hard to believe that a Fortune 8 (or 9) company doing something horrible like this. How are they even considered as Fortune 8 company? The criteria should change. If you need to get rid of 4000k white color jobs in a day (and I guess a total of... — read more

Something we should all remember for the future

Companies do not exist to employ people. They exist to make money, and the truth is employees are expensive. It’s a good but rough life lesson for a lot of the NCH’s that got the axe and are experiencing this, if you want to guarantee yourself a job... — read more

It was a horrible day in Phoenix!

So many people were cut, it’s ridiculous. People crying in hallways, at the parking lot. Doors closed, many just walking around almost disoriented. Mostly no sound, almost eerie, surreal. We were all watching, nothing we can do – a mini-chaos... — read more

Disclosing the layoffs to new employer

Do you voluntarily disclose the layoff to a new employer? What if it never comes up in the interview and they do a background check? Does anyone have experience with either.. or both?

How many Directors/EGMs were let go?

No car company did this to its workers the way GM did

There were always layoffs and there always will be, but to sacrifice the workers from the places where it all began, and with that sort of tradition is just sad. Have you ever heard that Toyota is laying off in huge amounts in Japan so it can... — read more
