Thread regarding General Motors layoffs

Thank you, OP! Nice sililoquoy on the downfall of GM.

Yepper things do look dismal.

We are falling down in the making vehicles people want to own department.

The only 2019 vehicle that makes my heart go pitter-pat is the Jeep Gladiator.

The 2019 GM vehicles are all ho-him to me.

We need to focus on product, product, product. We are spending too much time chasing unicorns.

Hey I resemble this post.

Harsh post. Regrettably true.

GM is like the UofM football team and the Democratic Party. Arrogant, arrogant, arrogant. It's so sweet to see UofM lose to Florida. The Democrats look like arses in there irrational and illogical rants and discussions. GM is similar in so many ways. When cars stop selling and bonuses cease they fold like little babies. Right on. GM, Democrats and UofM all need to feel the pain for there awful behavior.

I have a love and hate relationship with GM.

Meaning, I give everything, everything, and everything for the people I work with, and it's management. Often times, some of the best people you will ever engage with. I train, I mentor, I support, and I provide for my workload. I was ONLY suppose to provide for my workload.

At the same time, I'm slapped around like most others, furloughed when needed, laid off when needed, and I have more recommendations and endorsements among my team, than anyone among my team. I understand, they have no more power on the inside than I have. This is the nature of a corporation and the bean counters at the top. I love my friends and colleagues. NO ill will.

GM has defined two dozen years of my life, to teach and elevate an all star performance spanning multiple skill sets, having trained and mentored more than a hundred individuals, yet, I now the relationship I am involved within.

GM is NOTHING more than abusive relationship with a parent, a parent that beats their child, and loves their child when needed. This often again returns to a beat and love relationship, time and time again. It occurred before 2008, in 2008, and again in 2018. GM again, will call me back later for my skillset, but will showcase, their abusive relationship they so fondly take advantage of.

I learned, well early into my career. Over these times, it's only reinforced these convictions. IF you want to dance with the devil, you will find the devil wanting his due. This is GM. As a part of life, the benefit is to either: Learn through experience, or learn through others, in hopes to avoid. Your decision is your own.

I personally, do not buy GM. I never will. This is GM's tale, in my life, and those within my sphere of influence. They alienate customers for life.

Concur with OP sentiment. I would give them max 20 years.

1tzh needs to review GM HR training. Racial slurs are not acceptable. If you are in Texas spouting your racial slurs you will find yourself escorted across the border. You are most likely a guest in this country, grow up and act like one.

They did say that one of the big three was destined for absolute failure in the future. The only one bold enough to move as quickly as the others, has been GM. Much like betting on a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, GM may have moved so far in advanced of their speculative play, it could bankrupt the corporation. It's a valid position. Fortune only favors the bold of right.

Do this day, NO ONE wants sedans. If you bring out 20 EV sedans in the coming years, no one will still want sedans.

Well played Mary. At least your 20 million will keep you well fed, whether you screw this up or not.

Rubbish, from another Anglo and endorsed by two others of his kind.

Just leave GM, no one has put a gun to your head to stay.

Gold

Well said
