I am friends with the security personnel in our office (Austin North) so this morning I was chatting with them and casually asked if they had heard or knew anything. They said Monday (Feb 4th) is the date. Their company was pulling in addition... — read more 

GM already announced the layoffs months ago. They already took the publicity hit, and Trump has already commented. So they aren't trying to avoid the layoffs around the SOTU and Auto Show. Everyone already knows the layoffs are going to happen soon... — read more 

Getting my bonus and I’m out of here. +1 if you’re doing the same.

Just got a call from my EGM, told to be in WTC office next Monday and Tuesday. Was told that everyone in my group got the same call, but turns out not to be true. Some were told not to bother coming to the office.

This executive departure has not yet been announced due to the exit paperwork not being finished but it has been confirmed as true by company officials. At it was stated this departure has nothing to do with the workforce reduction efforts of GM... — read more

I’m not saying there are no quality young workers, of course, there are but who the hell will trust GM anymore and place their careers in the hands of a company that did this to their loyal workers. Who in their right mind would base their life near... — read more 

We have already started losing people who are tired of waiting for GM to decide their fate and are heading for greener pastures on their own. I'd lie if I said I was not considering it myself. I just loath the idea of possibly missing out on... — read more 

Financially we did well, but also we are trying to cut cost...anyone know?

I've got another Job offer that I'm going to take. Obviously I'm hoping I get targeted for a layoff to double dip for a couple of months, but how long do you have to be employed by GM to get the bonus check on Feb. 28th? New company wanted me to... — read more 

So much for restructuring , GM can't even deliver it's layoffs on time ? Why? Poor management and planning. Who in their right mind coming from college would even entertain a position at GM at this point? They say we want a new skill set but from my... — read more

So I just got an offer for a better position. It was surprisingly easy. The market is hot right now. They want me to start 2/11. I am assuming that if I give two weeks notice today, I will not get severance. So would it be inappropriate to wait until... — read more 

I wonder how they plan on doing it on February 4th? HR gonna be at the entrances checking people's names and sending the ones on "the list' to a conference room or going to wait until the end of the day? Wish they would just tell everyone already.

I don’t see the end of this anytime soon, even more, the layoffs could take a bit more time than the management originally planned. The initial announced round of layoffs caught a bit more media attention than the management thought it would, so my... — read more 

It looks like Feb. 4th is the latest consensus. My HR leader has all day holds Feb 4th and 5th. The timing makes sense too with the earnings release on the 6th. Investors will want to know that the process is starting.

Anyone in Michigan who is working from home will be laid off

Considering there is very little indication that anything major is happening this week, does that mean we'll enter the next month still not knowing? Can GM really be that cruel?

Sad to say that at this point nothing can be done about the pending layoffs and plant closures, at least not with this level of worker unity. People will lose their jobs, the company is going to restructure, everything will calm down and it will be... — read more 

Additionally, they could enhance existing benefits and come out as more compassionate to a long term employees being let go. Use a little sound judgment at the top. It would show goodwill and likely sell more cars/trucks. The advertising would be... — read more

They upped the earnings estimate and yet they want to reduce head count. Why do they keep calling GM family? Does this type of kicking to the curb happen in real families? With this prolonged process, they only end up losing talented people and will... — read more
