In good times, that might be normal, but now it becomes very irritating to listen to a manager full of optimism as he says not to worry, that everything will be fine and the like. All that excessive optimism sounds very fake. Do they really think... — read more
Are “Ford sucks” and “we shouldn’t have to mentor” people the same person?
Seems like old old GM to me. I’ll wait for three downvotes for this to occur at the same time ;)
Flint Assembly

Changes you'd like to see
Maybe I’m just bored after almost seven years here, but still, I think GM needs some radical changes?

If you aren't convinced we are in the decline, what will it take? Isn't it beautiful? 401ks going poof. Some saw this coming. Most others are experiencing the affects because they couldn't.
Recently hired - it doesn't mean much when it comes to layoff
I don't agree at all with someone who wrote here that those fresh out of the college who were recently hired are any safer when it comes to layoffs. Anyone else here who thinks those employees are actually safer?
Exit strategy
The atmosphere is becoming a bit strange and tense. I am even thinking of leaving this industry. What is your exit strategy?
From Reuters
"The auto industry is racing to the safe harbor of pent-up demand that could carry sales for years to come, while the looming economic storm clouds are gathering that could destroy much of that demand," said Tyson Jominy, J.D. Power vice president of... — read more
GM delays plans to hire 3,000 salaried workers after intense hiring spree

Overworked
We are constantly expected to do more. If I were to do the work that needs to be done to the best of my ability, there would not be enough hours in a day to complete all the planned assignments. It is no longer a question of whether the people here... — read more

It looks like GM is spending to increase the stock price lately
Seem like they're taking advantage of a rough patch Elon and Tesla. GM leadership consists of wolves in sheeps clothing.
This is excellent news for us

Know what's worse than losing your job because your malcontented coworkers talk trash to the new director about you
Having the people that didn't get fired telling others that the those that got laid off were dead wood. People at GM don't just pull out your grass, they salt your ground. That's what they call winning.
Layoffs at Ford yesterday
See, GM is not always the worst.
GM workday status " in process "
What does workday status in process mean ? Does it mean an offer coming ?

Stop worrying about layoffs
Worry more about attrition. With as many people leaving as they are, work for those of us who stay will be he-l if they don't backfill those positions. And I haven't seen any new employees in my department for more than six months, which means... — read more
