So open up to Chinese EV imports and watch as they bankrupt themselves.

So China has it all figured out? Take the time to watch, do the math too. This is dead end technology.

"bi--h about it in here like a victim"

Professional victims are officially immune from dismissal.
The people who fall on the sword for those professional victims are actual victims.

It’s funny because there will still be folks getting the full bonus or even more than the usual full bonus next March. Point is you have a choice: are you going to do what is necessary given the current circumstances or bi--h about it in here like a victim? It really is about what choice you make. Many people don’t understand that and blame others instead.

Yet another way to mess over employees and encourage them to quit without severance.

Cheaper than another VSP

Yes.
Mary figured out how to virtue signal while eliminating 40% of our bonuses.
Dial it in!!!

Except our bonuses partly depend on EV sales now, instead of company profits.

If EV sales are getting sidelined, there go our bonuses

Anyone who doubts that Mary's EV stance was a con job needs to ask themselves why suddenly Hybrids are the most urgent projects at GM while EV & Autonomous projects are getting sidelined & canceled. She is still taking a big EV game to the press and the GM employees but the people who are actually working on the engineering side KNOW what GM is doing because we work on these projects and know what the new products are.
She's now threatening people to 'embrace evs or leave" for two reasons:'

  1. Desperate to see people quit sans severance and
  2. To save face in the media, the investors and the public after lying about her drive to make GM 100% EV.

She's in a trap because EVs are not profitable for GM. If we shift to EVs, GM's is deeply in the red. I have been to the meetings. The upper managers know 100% absolutely that this is true and the parrots and true believers can argue this point until they are red in their faces. There would be no shift away from EVs & Autonomous and toward hybrid if EVs & Autonomous weren't abject failures monetarily, functionally and with sales.

Being threatened every day in various ways define the moments that matter.
Team of one. It's on you.
Think about your future. Be invisible.

Remember, you only live once.
Lighten your mental load.
Stop caring. Do the bare minimum and dont give in to the demoralization.
It is very deliberate, so treat it as such. And also remember, we are all being treated this way. You are not alone.

Can’t wait until they close the RenCen.

If you thought parking was bad now, wait until the RenCen people get consolidated at the Warren tech center.

And of course, GM is prepared to compensate these "top performers" accordingly.

Physics won't allow it, but stupid people will wonder what happened and how did we get here when it's all over.

“ They see the changes as a message to salaried employees: GM is serious in its transition to an all-electric future, and these moves will winnow out those who aren’t on board or are not top-notch performers.”

They threaten the very people they rely on to design and build their products.
Not just disrespectful but callous and ugly.
Mistreatment of “the help” is just malicious.
Any salary that dials it in… totally understandable and from this point forward should be encouraged!
Any talk about being a family, having a work life balance, caring about mental health or safety should be disregarded outright.
Isn’t it odd that they threaten their employees on the same day they release a work survey? Savage.
There aren’t too many manufacturing jobs right now. I encourage everyone to collect the check, play the game and do the barest minimum possible.
