My GM experience can best be described as "numbing". Even before the firings, I noticed how miserable most employees were and that showed in how they treated each other. I didn't expect a hug-fest environment, but also didn't expect the Hunger Games.
If you have been let go, take some time to really think about what you want to do next. Yes, if you choose to opt out of corporate America, you can expect a much lower salary. But ask yourself what is your quality of life worth? I can honestly say that my quality of life was horrible when at GM and, while I was grateful to have had a job for a number of years, there hasn't been a single day that I miss it.
