“ So it seems to be just the validation org.”

Failed leadership will never leave if they control the Board.

No one can make them go.

Besides, what would a VSP look like for someone making 29 million a year?

A 500 million golden parachute?

Need VSP at the top, this company is burdened with overpaid executive management with a track record of failures !
But, but, but we have xx% of profit per over-weighted bad mileage vehicles and program management will say and we made so many billions last year. Hog wash, we have no affordable product lineup for the average household income. This will be just like the 80's and 90's when the foreign companies dominated and delivered to the consumer needs.
Mexico, India and China already know how to engineer, build and deliver a vehicle to the consumer much appreciation to our executive management. These jobs are being transferred overseas at an ever increasing rate.
Get your paperwork updated and take any / all classes to make yourself current for your resume to get out of this toxic mess.

So after 60 days will it be considered as laid off? Will we get severance.

Why validate when you can just sell rolling inferno cages with government subsidies?
Remember, validation data is used against you in a ignition-type government lawsuit.
This is the equivalent of a politician smashing staffer's cellphones with a hammer. Eventually people will buy these EVs and find out. Then what?

It time for GM to clean house. All unproductive and underperforming employees will be let go.

I haven't heard anything yet. I am over 50 and male, non-diversity, so a likely target for sure.

"People in my org were asked to find a position within the company in 60 days or get terminated. "

There have been times GM has said this, then closed open positions and frozen transfers.

Would the OP mind telling us what org they are in? I’ve heard nothing.

The VSP was your warning that the company wanted to cut headcount.

That was them asking nicely.

Then there were the "perfomance" layoffs. Another warning.

I wouldn't be surprised if they've been quietly laying people off, because they do that before every big public ISP.

An ISP is them telling without worrying about being nice.

It's two parts of the same action, not one "paying" for the other.

And yes, they're likely to blame the union even though they've been in layoff mode since the beginning of the year, because management never takes responsibility.

They always blame a scapegoat.

This su-ks. I was wondering how they were gonna pay for the vsp….by “layoffs”.

Also a park of me thinks they’ll blame the uaw strikes for why they need to lay off more corporate employees.

It would help to know what area vs just writing layoffs. I believe Validation was the target.
