Thread regarding General Motors layoffs

I bought groceries yesterday and prices are down biggly.

There was even a sale on eggs.

Read: 6.2L V8 engines, not 3 cylinder engines, not Eqinoxes.

It's not hole in your Global Propulsion System designed engine block! It's an Internal Observation Viewing Port! Hope you enjoy that 3 cylinder Equinox as a courtesy vehicle while waiting for parts to be delivered from gm CCA..

They'll just claim the damage is the customer's fault and not pay for it.

The customer must have towed too much weight, and made jack rabbit starts when stop lights turned green.

The GM V8 bearing issue is a really big f'ing deal. Could cause an engine breach! As in a hole in your block. At the least the engine fails with a few thousand miles on it. Avg repair will be just under $8k. Can you imagine buying an $80-100k car and the engine seizes shortly after you buy it? They are going to destroy their customer base! Incredible.
Mind you, vehicles affected are the bread and butter for sales. Tahoe, Suburban, Escalade, Yukon, etc.

GM foolishly tried to launch new technology, while being incapable of delivering 100 year-old technology without numerous recalls. They did get a government "pat on the head", but those days are over.

If you haven't invented immortality or faster than light travel, you're a failure for not meeting perfectly reasonable expectations.

Have a PIP.

I'm excited by the scores of unreachable new goals I had to put on my cap. Each goal is broken down into countless smaller goals.

Still missed the ev sales target by a lot. Depending how they want to handle that, there goes a quarter of the bonus.

Look what the team GM metrics are!

So your bonus foretells your future.

If it's low, better start looking

@18a+1jh1n8qeb
If you are on your way out, you will get a very weak bonus.

Will we get very strong bonuses first?

More cuts coming this month.

"All problems will be solved on January 20, Day One"
Uh, Trump may actually spend more than comatose Biden.
We are at what now, 37 trillion in debt.
Eventually this will come due whether we pay it down or not.

All problems will be solved on January 20, Day One.

Groceries and eggs will be half price starting January 21.

Well folks it’s about two weeks away from finding out the TeamGM multiplier then you gotta meet with your boss to see your individual review too. The numbers are already determined imo so at this point it’s just a matter of waiting to find out.

"revamp the fraudulent health care system, the fraudulent financial system, the fraudulent educational system"

Improving your own life doesn't mean changing the entire system. It means making meaningful changes within your own life to change it. Paying off debt, learning new skills, learning where the opportunities are, researching stable investments during difficult times, improving your relationships with others, etc. So when it comes to work, there could be opportunities there. Can you improve the situation? Get new training, volunteer to head a project, be more visible - more useful and SURVIVE?

It's easy to blame the whole system, the POTUS, the banks, the insurance industry, the company you work at. TBH it's a f'ing cop-out.
NO ONE IS GOING TO SAVE YOU. The survivors of this next cycle will navigate it by taking control over their own lives. This cycle will be very different from the others. It's called, 'The great taking' and it's been underway for some time now but most people are too selfish and spoiled to pay attention.

Cuts help release funds to justify fraudulent financial reports, while company lost 70% of it's employees over the past few years.

"They complain but won't do a single thing to improve their lives."

You are spot on.
When they get some free time they need to revamp
the fraudulent health care system, the fraudulent financial system,
the fraudulent educational system, ...
Wait, they are going to need a lot of free time.

I'm just going to admit to writing many of the posts here including this one. They used to call me, "the long post guy" so some of my posts are signed LPG.
I'm trying to wake people up but I've faced lots of negativity. There are absolutely scores of miserable cowards who are sad sacks. They complain but won't do a single thing to improve their lives. Some of my posts have been censored and deleted. I don't know why I bother.
But you can see how the reactions are to facts, opinions and articles they don't want to see.
2025 is going to be a brutal wake up call for millions of Americans.

Imo you’re right but you’re preaching to the wrong audience. Most folks that come to this kind of website are looking for bad news or talking out their behinds. A little positivity isn’t what they want to read.

I think you are equating "Overall Results" to "Overall Results compared to Secret Targets".

Mary, Mark, & the SLT will be expecting their big bonuses this year, so yeah, people will be cut and get nothing.

This is a joyless, fearful place.

@fd+1jh1n8qeb is right.

As GM held off making cuts in November during the Presidential Election, additional cuts most likely will be happening during the end January/beginning of February.

It has to do with the low performers percentage definitions. GM has to keep up with that according to Jacobson and Hoffman.

So yeah, strong bonuses this year, but, GM will just dangle the carrot until they announce you have either been put on a PIP with a reduced bonus or have to be let go shafting you on the bonus.

Just because they're doing well doesn't mean they'll share with employees.

They announce record profits every quarter but they still do layoffs.

Loyalty is one way.

@ed+1jh1n8qeb
Thank you!

Should be between 15k-16k for the bonus. We are at 12,500 now. We will know the morning of January 28th what the official number is.

"How do you know"

Did you READ what I just posted? I literally just explained why...

"More cuts coming as usual"

Given the quality of the responses here, that comes as a relief!

How do you know

Nope.

More cuts coming as usual....
