Thread regarding General Motors layoffs

IT Staff System Engineer cuts coming

Heard in a meeting today GM is looking to reduce costs more. From what was discussed, it looks like they are going to start trimming near the top of the tree.

I guess the so called bottom 15% wasn’t enough.

They will probably just blame it on the excessive Tariff costs.

Was it a layoff or a fake PIP from stack ranking?

Got cut today. Post is valid.

From what I was told, looks like this is happening until end of September.

When we line up enough H1-Bs to replace them.

Did you know that 85% of all H1-Bs come from only two countries: India and China?
Specifically, in 2023, roughly 73% of approved H-1B petitions were for individuals born in India. China is the second-largest source, accounting for about 12% of approvals.

At 12:00, you can walk past the lunch areas to get all of the free cultural smells. My favorite happens to be microwaved Carp. Know that all of these individuals will allow GM to save billions, which will contribute to larger bonuses for the managers.

I am pretty sure D: b7+1k1dvt6ye is right…..level 8+

Some of the ones I worked with on the IT side are big headed, talk a lot, and think they know everything. They are the perfect candidates to be cut.

It would save a shitload of people who are really needed.
