MPG Bld 104 Active Safety Software Hit - Glassdoor time!

ADAS software and controls team hit this morning - early level, mid-level, and trb leads let go.

Friendly reminder to reflect on your GM experiences on Glassdoor, Quora, etc. So, that when the dust settles, future algo/autonomous/ADAS talent will know how GM treats its people (helpful for out of state people that have to move families/sell houses etc. just to get let go 6 months later).

Payment details: Regular pay throughout Feb, you get the bonus for 2018 and pro-rated through 2019, severance is 2 weeks per yr worked, you get to keep your corp cell phone and cool backpack (thank god), un-used vacation is not paid out (wow), tough luck if you're not vested (also wow), and tuition reimbursement on the 2/15 paycheck is tbd.

I don't see how anyone will want to stay here after this - easily one of the most hilariously brutal experiences I've ever witnessed at a company (everyone watching over their half-cubes like paranoid prairie dogs for the next FCF victim to get tossed into the Kondo pit). Keep an eye out for when a director level adds you as a friend on Skype all of a sudden.

Godspeed to those left behind!

I was booted from CAVD Feature Integration today.

Relieved more than upset, 3 months of no information and just rumors floating around had me fed up with GM management. I am kind of glad I was cut so I don't have to pick up the extra workload and face those gutless leaders everyday.

Already greener pastures await.

Good luck to those left behind you will need it.

Except longtime and older employees are getting screwed even more, because the two weeks for every year stops at 13 years. Revolting. Also shameful that they're seizing cars immediately. How are people supposed to get a new job or a car loan without a car? Can't even give them three months before turning the car in, SMH.

This made me laugh for the first time in weeks. And I mean that in a good way. Thank you for infusing some humor into an otherwise brutal experience.
