#recruiting

I’ve been applying for jobs since May—over 500 applications so far—and haven’t gotten a single interview. I’ve even seen some of the same jobs I applied for get reposted. What is going on? Is it just me, or is everyone experiencing this? It’s really wearing me down. My daily commute eats up 3 hours, and I desperately need either a remote position or something closer to my home in Maryland.

I heard several HR peeps got laid off just last week.
Then I see that Jackie Richardson, HR Executive is hiring several Talent Advisors.
My question is to Jackie and/or her team please.
Are the job postings just for show, because protocol require you to post ? In other words, are these job postings reserved for the peeps who just got laid off and having to re-apply for their old jobs back as a different job title?
Is posting for these jobs a waste of everyone's time?

Am I alone here in saying that I've been run ragged for months and the heat keeps getting turned up? I'm so stressed out.
Each time I get through a new hurdle of some monstrous new process and weeks of back to back meetings, I get notified of something worse. And expectations for cost cuts with no defined process and several layers of teams that will turn the ideas down.
I feel like they are trying to break us.
All I'm seeing is panicking, fear, knee je-k reactions, finger pointing and extreme demands. Endless classes, requirements, special projects, release dates being pulled back, endless meetings and people in my group phoning it in while I'm being pushed over the edge.

I looked for jobs. Where are they??? If I do find anything remotely compatible with my interest, skills and experience, it pays 60% of what I'm making at GM. I feel trapped and abused.
Am I alone? Does this feel horrific to you too??? I've never seen anything close to this, even during the 'great recession'. What is the answer here?

PS With everything going on and the bad decisions from managers, it seems like GM is DOOMED.

IBM's moving our jobs to Costa Rica (and other low cost countries)... We are also pushing bots as well to help hiring managers through self-service. If you used these bots you know that they are not good at all.

Some of talent acquisition employees located in Raleigh, NC will be kept but the rest will be let go.

This plan is nuts. The management is clueless and IBM will pay for this mistake big time.
