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.
Green tags
I’m seeing a lot of people with green tags on their badges. Does this mean they’re the ones getting the axe?

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

I guess no more casual overtime for me.
2 People let go from my group, will HR comes back again to cut my group?

Next two weeks will be a nightmare
How can we go through two weeks of this? Two weeks of being in constant state of anxiety and stressful anticipation? Why couldn't they have done it in a day, or even two, but have to drag this on for two full weeks? Unnecessarily cruel and pretty... — read more
GM management should fall on their swords

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.
TRACK Employees
Any TRACK employees let go? If so what function? Finance? Engineering? Etc
Is it slowing down?
At least for today? We lost five people since this morning, but now it's eerily quiet. I'm not sure if I should be happy that it seems to be over or if I should be worried that this is just the calm before the storm. What's going on all around? Does... — read more

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.
