Thread regarding General Motors layoffs

Five day work week sooner than you think 🤔

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/home-still-normal-corporate-america-130000068.html

Corporate leaders now openly admit that RTO was about culling staff sans severance. The new trend is ending hybrid to accelerate this. Given what we have experienced in the last year with "performance culture" aka stacked ranking, would anyone be surprised if this was the shoe to drop this fall?

And for good reason. The company is bloated with useless engineers. It's dragging actual operations. Just look at that clown Jenkins. Completely guts the pre production and durability departments so we can? Open a new Starbucks and pretend they are doing battery research. Meanwhile the tab and warranty issues pile up. Plant floats are growing every day because the money and time weren't put in on the front end. But hey that new lunch menu in Cole looks great. Enjoy the legionella ya clowns.

@11k
"You are the man!"
There are stereotypes and then there's reality. Ever see a woman fixing a roof? Ever see one save children from a burning house? Ever see a woman on a construction site? White men are the n1gg3r of the western world. Doing all the hard work and making all of the sacrifices for the entitled mouth breathers all around them. They are made the villain even though they build the world around you. Your turn.

Majority rules.
We are all thinking it.
Mask + blue/red hair + obese + bad clothes = NON HUMAN ENTITY

Note to those still wearing masks at work:
We are judging you.
We know you are a mentally ill, extreme left propaganda connoisseur.
We avoid you because we know you are an NPC.
Typically fat with ill fitting clothes, tattoos, blue/red hair. The uniform of the new under class.
Get in shape, dress like a professional and drop the mask!

I hope all of GM returns to the office five days a week very soon. It’s necessary.

Just going to leave this here:

Office CMBS Delinquency Rate Spikes to Record 11.7%, Much Worse than Financial Crisis Peak. Multifamily Delinquencies also Spike
https://wolfstreet.com/2025/09/01/office-cmbs-delinquency-rate-spikes-to-record-11-7-much-worse-than-financial-crisis-peak-multifamily-delinquencies-also-spike/

The delinquency rate of office mortgages that have been securitized into commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) spiked to 11.7% in August, the worst ever, a full percentage point above even the peak meltdown rate of the Financial Crisis (10.7%), according to data by Trepp , which tracks and analyzes CMBS.

How do you think this ends?
Looks like RTO didn't rescue commercial real estate. Wonder how residential real estate is going? LOL!!! Worse than the financial crisis of 2008? That's odd... the stock market is at record highs! Don't worry, your job is safe and AI is here to help.

A five-day, in-office work week, while a subject of ongoing debate, is believed to offer several benefits for both companies and employees. Proponents of this model often point to the following advantages:
​For Companies:
​Improved Collaboration and Innovation: In-person interaction facilitates spontaneous discussions, real-time problem-solving, and a more fluid exchange of ideas. This can lead to greater innovation and more effective cross-departmental collaboration.
​Stronger Company Culture: A shared physical space can help to create a stronger sense of community and belonging among employees. It provides opportunities for informal interactions and team-building, which can reinforce company values and a shared identity.
​Better Onboarding and Training: New hires, particularly recent graduates, can benefit significantly from being in the office. They can learn from more experienced colleagues, ask questions in person, and more quickly immerse themselves in the company's culture and processes.
​Increased Visibility and Communication: A consistent in-office presence can lead to greater visibility for employees, which may positively impact career growth and networking opportunities with management. It can also reduce communication gaps that can sometimes occur with remote work.
​Access to Specialized Tools and Resources: For some industries, a five-day in-office schedule ensures that all employees have access to necessary specialized equipment, software, and other resources that may be difficult or impossible to provide in a home setting.
​For Employees:
​Clearer Separation of Work and Life: For many, working in an office allows for a distinct separation between their professional and personal lives. Leaving the office at the end of the day can create a mental and physical boundary that helps them disconnect from work and avoid feeling like their home is a constant workspace.
​Potential for Enhanced Productivity: Some individuals find they are more productive in an office environment due to fewer distractions and the ability to focus solely on work-related tasks.
​Networking and Career Advancement: Being in the office can increase opportunities for networking with colleagues and managers, which can be beneficial for professional development and career progression.
​Access to Amenities: Many offices offer amenities like fitness centers, on-site food options, or health services, which can contribute to an employee's overall well-being.
​Structured Routine: A five-day, in-office week can provide a consistent daily routine, which some people find beneficial for their health and organization.
