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, they're going to tell everyone they know about what just happened to them.

People on the inside know whats happening is wrong, and everyone is sympathetic. How could you not be? Everyone is also so powerless to stop it. The only thing you have the power to do is to decide whether this is company behavior that you support, or something you over look. It's personal to everyone in their own way. I know a lot of people that do buy their products, and many others that will bring their new non-GM vehicles to work each day. You couldn't give them a GM product, and ask them to drive it in.

It is what it is.

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 purchase your vehicle, and I won't expect you to keep me working past the end of my shift, as many are now finding out.

The single reason I won't ever support their products, is because of they way they treat their employees. I learned prior to the 2008 debacle. History always repeats with this company. People will always face devastation and disappointment time and time again.

When they went on their hiring binge in 2015, I told a number in my department, the day of reckoning is coming. We won't keep these numbers for very long. We will lose just as many as we brought on board or more. I didn't know the time or year that it would occur, only that it would.

They've gone well beyond what I even expected, and the manner in which it is happening. I'm pretty surprised at the greed in all of it. The last time former CEO Rick Wagner told us we wouldn't go bankrupt in his announcement, I was there watching, and I told my peers we would be bankrupt in six months. I was wrong, it was nine. He at least had a reason you could understand.

MB has no rhyme or reason for her insanity, and certainly lacks a plan for the future betting on EV sedans that no one wants. Time will prove this also true once again. Meanwhile while people are on the outside cheering her on for breaking glass ceilings, they fail to notice that she's actually intentionally sabotaging the building attempting to make it implode. Perception and all. Truth eludes.

No support for GM - I was dumped back in 2009 - now you can feel my pain.

Even if I don't get laid off, I will never even think of buying a GM product. The quality, appearance, and the name just s---s. If I asked a friend or family member they would say the same thing.
