Thread regarding General Motors layoffs

List of “GM salaried employees chosen for separation”

Saw this list from someone who knows someone who knows someone. I’m wondering how it traveled all the way to me, someone who is so low on the totem pole. They have been stressing us out for weeks and now higher ups, managers, and below have a list and they’re sharing with people who are ‘Safe’. It’s embarassing.

I didn’t see myself on the list, but I saw many who were. Worst part about it, is that a buddy of mine just quit his old job to start at GM and he hasn’t been around more than 2 months and they’re laying him off. It kills me to see him working so hard while knowing he’s about to be laid off. He’s more competent than so many people in our department. Why keep all the bozo’s and fire some really intelligent people?

Also the list is categorized into “director”, “position” and “age”

Age Is not the determining factor, just the identifier.

No, giving this list to employees over 40 is standard HR procedure in the hopes that you will not sue. Never trust HR. They are only there to protect the company.

I always had a feeling that everyone else in the group had known about people getting laid off. May be they were told as wink-wink. Very smug attitude from some team members. They will realize in future that what goes around comes ound.

There is definitely a list. It's given to those separated that shows Exhibit A as those chosen for separation Exhibit B as those NOT chosen for separation. There's the directors name, function group, job title, but no employee names only their age. So if you know someone age and job title in your group it's easy to figure out who they are.

There is no way that they are showing people lists with NAMES on them. If this was true, someone would have gotten a pic of that list and it would be viral by now.

There is a list that shows # of jobs by position, function, and age - but it doesn't include names.

There is a list that is given. It's not comprehensive as it just lists those under your own director who were selected. I was the first let go in my group and was able to figure out who else was being termed hours before they were notified.

Everyone offered the VSP got this list but there are no names on it. And i don’t think you you could find yourself on it if you tried. It is more of a general demographics list then anything.

There are definitely lists guys. Saw it firsthand in my envelope. HR said it’s given to those let go that are 40+.

No, OP is right. He did see the list. And I saw Big Foot who is living at a friend of a friend's in Rochester.

1000s of posts on thelayoff and not a single one, aside this one, references any floating lists

Do not make it sound like “everyone knows theres a list” - thats just not true

No reason why this post would be fake. Everyone knows there's a list. If just one person decided to share it with someone who shouldnt have it, there's no stopping that chain reaction.

You really have to post the image on an image hosting site then post the link here to have any chance of it surviving...otherwise it will get axed quickly.
