They keep saying they have no information whatsoever. How can that be? This is all kabookie theatre. By now, lists must have been prepared resource allocation must be going on. Is this winning with integrity?
Salary share thread
Since I’m seeing a lot of salaries thrown around feel free to see how you compare to your peers. It is illegal to prevent sharing of salaries so no worries. Please post what you feel comfortable with - level,position, and base salary
Winning with Integrity
Is this winning with integrity? A simple actual update would go a long way
Car manufacturing as we know it is a dying industry
Don’t get me wrong, car production will be always present in some form, and nothing will happen overnight, but the car industry is well over its peak and it will steadily decline in the following years. With the introduction of electric cars and new... — read more
What perspective do the laid-off GM workers have?
I’m sure everybody will agree that laid-off GM workers are in a specific position compared to people in other branches that were cut. It’s not like there is a car assembly plant around every corner where people can apply for a job and the fact is... — read more

I heard if you take 20 days vacation they can’t lay you off?
It makes sense.. you are not expected to be on call while on vacation.. if management denies vacation it will prove that they know..
Next week?
Now I've seen several people say that next week will bring the worse of it and today should be either very low or no layoffs at all. If that is true, I'm honestly not sure if I should feel relieved or p-ss-d off that this whole thing is going to get... — read more

Any updates?
Does any location have increased security? Any updates from managers?
People will always face devastation and disappointment time and time again.
I own five non-GM vehicles. Some new, some not. GM will never earn my money. It's already engrained in my family never to touch a GM product. You want to work there, fine. Fair pay for fair work, nothing more, nothing less. Don't expect me to... — read more
Rule 70?
Somebody told me that those who come under Rule 70 are most likely to be shown the door. Is this true? Isn't there a law that would prevent General Motors from doing something like this? This doesn't just sound like age discrimination, this is age... — read more
The goal is to complete ll the cuts until the end of January
I see no way on Earth that the cuts don't start next week and occur in some rolling fashion across the company with a goal of completing them by the end of January. There is NO way they have enough security in place to escort all those people at the... — read more

We get to keep our bonuses
Anyone who gets laid off gets rated 100% for bonus.
Not much comfort but what GM is doing will backfire on them
The actual plant workers are the backbone of the car industry, and no matter what technology they deploy the final product will always rely on workers that produce it with their own two hands. My take is that with this GM gambled away its most... — read more
Amway is looking good! Maybe I'll become an uber driver...

Who will support GM in the future?
Had a salaried coworker discuss this kind of topic with me prior to the mass layoffs. She said when these people get laid off, do you think their ever going to support GM again, especially the ones that were just hired only a few months ago? No... — read more
Managers don't know!
I am a manager and I am in the same boat as everyone else. What we've been given is #'s affected for each team but no names. Have no idea when the actual # will be told to the employees.

CVO vehicles will be returned by Feb 28th
Did a little bit of shoulder surfing around HR desks and saw this from a powerpoint slide the lady was working on.
Increased security
Increased security is usually a sure signal that layoffs will take place sometime during the day. Has anybody noticed more security at their locations so far? We're still good on that, but that doesn't mean things will not change sometime later in... — read more

I hope the layoffs go well
