I found this site in January but was lucky to be safe in February. I recently left on my own accord so am no longer worries about retribution.
I worked in treasury and helped GM look over the finances. Im sure what Im about to say is not news to anyone but 14,000 people were laid off to make 9 people very rich. GM has been jiggering its EPS, earning per share, for years now and this party will not last forever. One large component of Executive Compensation at GM is EPS nowadays. We have been watching earnings closely and been buying just enough stock to beat just beat EPS targets for the past three years. MB stated that she wanted GM to be around for the next 50 years, ha, no, just for the next few years so she can cash in her options. 9 GM executives cashed in millions of stock options just days after the layoffs, probably laughing all the way to the bank. Bet it will be nice to know this the next time MB makes a speech at a plant.
Very sorry that so many people lost their jobs as a result. I feel guilty about this as well. Best of luck in your future endeavors and so long GM.,
