One post caught my eye about february. Anything special about this? Ultracruise is dead and I suspect a fair number of us are going to get the boot.
Boomers have houses and Silverados, the longest lasting most dependable trucks on the road. jk
Stack ranking employees creates a dog eat dog culture.
Destroys teamwork and collaboration.
As the joke goes, "I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you."
GM will be having everyone collaborate in bathrooms at the rate they are going…….
45% of the 73 million baby boomers set to retire in the next few years have no money saved. They appeared wealthy because they blew all their cash. The other 55% have an avg of less than 100k. Most run through 55k a year in living expenses.
Most of these boomers will rely on their kids after losing everything in the coming recession. I hope most of you manage to keep your jobs so you can help your parents.
I don't think cuts in the near future is irresponsible speculation. Cramming people into an area with less than half-capacity while threatening to punish for attendance issues is a very clear signal that cuts are coming and things are going to get uncomfortable. This is happening across all orgs so it's clearly a strategy and not an oversight.
I can speak to experience with engineering when programs are cut.
Talent will be re-allocated. Top talent going into the high-production projects (trucks) and low hanging fruit going to uncertain projects and more menial tasks (specs, drawings, simple math updates). You can use common sense as to which of these groups will be the focus when cuts are happening. In the meantime, as I have said before on this board, managers will get really petty with arbitrary rules made to nudge people to quit. Many of have seen this all play out several times over the years.
It wouldn't surprise me if we were told to attend 5 days and for 9-10 hours now that we are salary "exempt". Individual volume of work being examined, people played off of each other, favouritism, managers pacing the isles, people keeping track of others, etc. etc. Work when you have the flu, drive in 2 feet of snow, show up at 5, yes, yes, yes. These are the intangible benefits Mary speaks of. Know your place, peasant. High-five.
Internet gossip and fear from non-credible sources.
Assume Goodness people!!!!
"Yeah, I think it has something to do w/ Feb performance reviews. AV/EV is taking a hit. Quite possible PIP or maybe neutral and a subsequent layoff later."
"I think" = I don't know, but I decided to make things up.

Do you have brain rot?
You see a random post online and go “Oh my gerd, is this true???”
No one knows anything, so stop posting rubbish.
