any idea what is going on?
5PM here in Austin. Been waiting all day for HR to pass by my cube but nothing. I guess I'll go home.
As in they have left to go collect souls?
HR has left suburban
I dressed as a janitor and took out the trash, saw the closing of Atlanta on a PowerPoint.
Same. The closing of Atlanta really threw me for a loop. I'm used to the Phoenix office closing joke....especially after the rumor when they didn't repaint the GM vehicle only parking lines.
Still laughing at the cup comment
This page is getting full of trolls. Listening through a cup? What are you? 8?
I've been listening through a cup on the suburban door at the Arizona Innovation Center. They are closing Georgia.
Sorry guys, my manager was joking with me. What a d--k move. 4.30 PM walkout news false.
Is this news confirmed. Seems silent at Warren tech?
Where in Michigan?
UPDATE!!!
In Michigan, They'll be walking out people by 4.30PM!!! End of the working day.
The autoshow is in town until the 27th. They aren't waiting that long.
Tons of press in Detroit for the Autoshow. Do you honestly think they would risk having any additional attention taken away from the NAIAS? All it would take is one reporter walking back to his hotel down town seeing a employee crying or yelling as they were walked out.
Suburban is checked out all day 15-17th by another anonymous group. Since we've heard 15th-17th and the 22nd floated around, maybe its possible both are true depending on your team's obligations?
New theory is Doomsday will hit next Wed, Jan 23rd in Arizona. Suburban/SuperSport/Spark is booked by a hidden party from noon to 5 PM.
GM Rewards is one of the few innovation projects approved for 2019 and it's considered strategic for GM so they should continue to innovate and meet regarding the product roadmap. As for the other teams, it's keep the lights on projects. Just a few innovation projects approved for 2019. Also PSA acceleration for transfer is the other focus.
It's apparently a very confidential meeting.
That team is in Acadia, NOT suburban confirmed.
And if it were for GM Rewards, why would they cover up the windows?
Business from the GM Rewards? What could they possible need 3 days in AZ's largest conference room for?
Suburban is booked because people from the business for GM Rewards are in town. They're in meetings all day today and tomorrow going over that.
Nothing else is happening in those rooms other than specifically GM Rewards.
Nothing at the MIC except folks being told there will probably be nothing until next week or after.
Suburban (the orientation room/large company event room) has been booked all day from the 15th-17th.
Can confirm that Suburban wasn't covered yesterday and is today.
Can no longer access "view personal information" on Socrates.... Hmm
Suburban. Wasnt covered yesterday.
What meeting room? There are many meetings rooms that have had their windows covered with paper for years...
Meeting room in Phx booked for the next few days. Paper covering the windows. Yikes.
Managers have been gathering in rooms for weeks now...
Managers gathering in rooms in Austin right now. Seems like they are telling the managers how to deliver the news. Will post after staff meeting at 2 today
It's been 76 days since the announcement on the 31st of October.... This is just painful
Just for peoples information, I work with GM in one of their Innovation Centers (Don't feel comfortable saying where). I got an email from my manager requesting that everyone in the team be in the office between January 22 - 25
Post ID: @X8l81jg-cuq, Any updates from your Pontiac P..T..N, group meeting at 10:00 a.m?
It will be slow and painful like all layoffs. They want to use you every last bit of skill then slam you hard. Do as little as possible over the next three weeks better yet use the time to look for another job. If your turn to be let go passes. Use this time to control the situation and burn this company of your skill and talent. Good Luck
Just heard layoffs will continue into February
Any validity to the rumor that folks in Phoenix IT were told not to take vacation and be in office next week?
Also, the "got laid" comment was quite clever. Well played.
Please qualify your post with location/region. WTC, Pon, REN, Atl, etc.
