its crazy GM is actually hiring NCH's during a mass layoff, which to me indicates they will be cutting mostly senior people and continue to hire cheap NCH's for a fraction of the cost of high level seniors. Test the market and brace yourself, always hope for the best but prepare for the worst!

Honestly, everyone in IT Innovation should be actively interviewing for a new position. Is this really where you want to invest your time in the event that you get through this first round of layoffs? There will be more in 2019 or 2020. Use of the word 'Innovation' is a running joke in the company. In GSMC in particular true Innovation is a rare event. It will only get worse with budget cuts and layoffs. Drive2Great is another running joke. A number of my colleagues left after just 1 or 2 years with the company. They were smart. Some people hold out for personal or financial reasons. GM IT was not created with long term career growth or loyalty in mind. It is based on a model or perpetual refresh of bodies from college universities. Brush off those resumes and see what's out there. There are lots of jobs in IT and many of them will be a big step up from GM.
NCH this NCH that, you guys want to work forever, get all the pay and perks. Say what you want the NCH will get experienced and improve over time. I know alot of great GM employees, mentors who are deserving many aren't worried save it for those who are just collecting check.
NCH have nothing to do with layoffs. There must be alot of employees there with low self confidence to think that new college graduates are a threat to them.
You don't need to be a senior employee to test the market. Everyone must test it. At least to know there's some life outside GM and of course to know your own potential (or weakness) when facing the market competing for a job. From what I know GM is having issues with profitability in some operations... Layoff is coming. The axe is swinging and the trolls are money-thirsty.
The comment had to do with the quality of another’s work. There’s an unavoidable hypocracy when the criticizer themself cannot meet a basic level of quality in the very act of criticizing.
Further, there are trolls and competitors dropping comments here to exploit emotions and weaken the true #OneGMTeam. While there may be many legitimate complaints to be levied, we cannot naively take all claims as truth. And while there may be legitimate unhappiness, frustration, and possibly anger with senior leaders, we must think of the coworker sitting in the chair next to us.
#OneTeam doesn’t lie in complete rubbles.
do you not realize most of GMIT is not american? why criticize their grammar? you should just be worried about your job at this point, but i guess in this forum all goes
BOT two posts back
Did you pass elementary English?
I can’t believe that the prior post was written by a human. This is certainly the work of a low functioning BOT.
yeah some seniors are good, and some are not. The not good ones give them a bad rap, I've worked with both types.
my team have highest number of New College Grad. They were by them-self handing the project and lots of bugs and defects came back that upper management had to talk to my manager into serious issue. LOL
but also someone brought up the point if you have two people that are performing good but not top performers and 1 makes 120k and the other makes 80k, neither is a necessity and i believe they will cut the higher cost, but just my 2 cents
i agree @XcifAUR-bii test the market and wait it out, then decide
To be honest - new college hires aren't even 'a fraction' the cost of senior. By the time they are out of the college program at level 6, they are ~80k. I've confirmed this with NCH on my team and you can look at the salary thread in here. A senior level is 110-125ksih..depending how lucky you were on negotiating when you came here and your promotions.
Ask yourself - do you have at least 1.5x the productivity of a new college hire? I guarantee any competent senior level does (I'm talking about the senior level who came in under the radar and does nothing all day long, we know they exist, but they aren't enough to fill the 15-30% or whatever Randy Mott wants to cut).
I've gotten contacted the last few weeks by recruiters because they smell blood and I'm finally going to respond because I've lost confidence in the company. At a minimal, play nice with them so if you do get cut you aren't scrambling and have a few leads. If you don't get cut, well, up to you if you if you want to follow through.
the sad part is that you not buying GM vehicles will have 0 affect on their 30+ billion revenue every quarter. They are doing this assuming people will eventually stop buying cars
It's alright. For every cheaper employee hired, they eliminate a variable amount of individuals to purchase their products.
GM wants to claim to earn customers for life, but the only thing they are great at, is alienating people for life.
I own six vehicles, some ford, some FCA, and ZERO GM. I've owned GM, AND never again. As the most respected i've worked with at GM once stated, we at GM are more lucky, then we are skillful or talented. This will never go away, and will continue through our lineage.
Good f---ng luck. The people know.
I heard we’re getting a Burger King
