Seeing as there aren't any improvements, I have no reason to disbelieve those who think it could get worse here. What do you think awaits us in the future at GM?

Do the things that need to be done so we can stop the things that should not be done.
Maybe this will encourage us to stop doing things that don't really need to be done.
Don’t know if this is better or worse, but they will likely eliminate/reduce many support roles.
For those that think this is a good idea, remember that everyone else will have to add that task to their already huge pile of processes and administrative work that takes you away from your core (CAP) responsibilities.
The positive benefit of managers being affected by this may be that they will call fewer meetings because they have actual work to do.
Too much time wasted cooking up Powerpoint slides.

Reality does not bend to your ignorance.
You have a very active fantasy life
You'll have to talk to OPEC and Russia about oil prices.
You may have some awareness of Russia's attack on Ukraine and the subsequent sanctions, including on Russia's oil exports.
The US doesn't control global oil prices.
Gasoline price in 2020: $149/gallon
A year later it was over $5.
Now it's back down to around $3.2. Still double.
Brandon shut down the oil pipelines and drilling contracts, then drove Mary around in an EV.
He will very likely be installed again for another 4 years. Remember that as your 401ks dissolve into nothing.
Commercial real estate, which was destroyed due to C0vid lockdowns is bringing down the entire banking system and because of Brandon's stimmy checks, inflation is unsustainable.
Never forget what the authoritarians did to your country.
FJB and F every authoritarian who shut down our country and forced people to take experimental chemicals. NEVER FORGET! Once the CBDC "Federal Reserve NOW" system starts in July, our country will be fully given over to the globalists and the transition to a digital currency will begin. That's when the real fun starts.
The future is the past because bo-m/bust cycles are cyclical.
People go deep into debt during the good times, and are trapped and desperate in the bad times. Well, the good times are over and people can’t afford new cars, Disney trips and house upgrades.
The future at GM is belt tightening, threats and fear. In 2006, I remember security check points checking badges on the way in. Then, so many walking out of the tower with boxes. News crews outside. Managers told us not to talk to the press. We are probably not too far from this. Position yourself accordingly.
It's been a beautiful run for the last number of years. The opportunity to extract all your homes equity for near peanuts, aka a 2.25% interest rate, and before they intend to erase all that equity. The opportunity to pay off all debts with cheap money, the opportunity to enjoy cheap stuff while it was cheap. Those that saw what was coming, positioned themselves for what is now coming through massive inflation.
If you want to believe EVs and AV's are your answer, at least in this short term, well, I have a tale to share. Welcome to the next fill in the blank. We had a recession. We had a great recession. What comes next, aka, depression. Let's see what follows during those fun times.
The MPG gets sold to a supplier or similar entity....prove me wrong :O
The world will end in 10 years unless we all embrace Electric Vehicles.
This is how we build back better for a greener future.
We also embrace equity by billing you for the EV subsides. There's no reason you upper middle class people shouldn't be paying for part of your neighbor's cars. We're all in this together.
Govt pushing EV world; will backfire in the next year. The market doesn't want EV, the infrastructure cannot provide EV. Internal Combustion Engine- ICE- still answers to our economy.
Remember, performance reviews every 90 days.
The near future will be more threats, more responsibilities, more pay cuts, more layoffs, more lies, more drama, more fear, more pain.
Pay attention to banks collapsing, commercial real estate defaults, personal bankruptcies, crime rates, foreclosures… people can’t afford $60k cars.
I think they are looking down the barrel of another Bankruptcy but this time is different. This time it will be because of personnel and process Mis management. They have lost the ability to manage research, development and pre production. Its all going away to third party and "virtual". Quality is on a downhill slide but wont been seen for a few years. Over extension into EVs does not help but they are still building the money makers.
