Possible for a NCH to Volunteer?

I'm over it, could I speak to my Org's HR partner and voluntarily get laid off as a NCH still in the program? Or is it too late as this point?

Half of Team let go so far

Roswell IT Center. Our team had 25-30 people. So far our 2 managers, all our senior devs, and a handful of NCGs have been let go. A few other key people in our space have been let go as well. We are pretty sure they are dropping our whole org

Last man standing

The entire project team I am on was walked out one at a time today. Just waiting for my cardboard box. I wish my name had come up sooner so I could be enjoying a beer now.

There is no "in the clear"

There is no "in the clear". General Motors is not a company that has stability or security associated with any job. If you were there to remember the bankruptcy times this is the same as 10 years ago. So the former vice president of Human Resources... — read more

Bad Culture

Job seekers, if you're technical skillsets are solicited by GM, know well what you can expect from this once-great company. This is not a culture in which you will thrive.

Is there really a need for more security?

I find that the whole increased security thing is a major overreaction on part of GM. What is it they expect us to do exactly? It just seems like adding insult to injury.
