I wonder how many of you people laid off gave the recommendation to cut salaries by 10 or 15 percent? No mention of the 22 million another 'employee' makes per year. Or the millions that other employees make each year. Or maybe it was the removal of the the feminine products in the bathrooms. So many worthy recommendations to save a company that's making record profits, a few bucks. These are difficult times you know.

All the celebrations are pot luck, no free coffee in the break rooms
This company is notoriously cheap! “Come to our employee holiday party- but you must buy your tickets to attend”
My favorite cost saving measure: they took all the trash cans from our floors and gave us one single can. Janitors are too expensive. They recently gave the cans back a few weeks ago- but we have to empty them. HAHAHA.
The Kool Aid drinkers who keep saying all employees should buy a GM car whether they want to or not should read these posts.
If you can find GM compensation in the real world, I wish you luck.
That's ridiculous. Wages are already stagnant.... For the most part. Yes let's work harder for greater profits so the worker can make less. Great recommendations......
I did. And by the way, I have been saying that for YEARS to leadership and to HR. And the response? "We need to remain competitive and pay market rates." I also suggested releveling across the company (which again would mean reduced salary), eliminating vehicles for Level 8s, and so on.
I also said the teamGM bonus payouts are ridiculous and should be reduced significantly.
So yes, I did try. :-)
If they cut salaries, they wouldn't be competitive in hiring against other companies when they start hiring again.
They're thinking of their future, not yours.
That's why loyalty to a company is so dumb.
