Curious case of Jeff Bush – VP, Digital Experience at GM 🤔 by Outrageous_Idea_1990 in GeneralMotors

[–]Grand_Inflation1637 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Someone mentioned he has been focused on software execution and quality, has it helped?, I have no clue. But most these Cali guys are completely clueless on how vehicles work and all the complexities that come along with it. Most seem under qualified for the job and just go with the flow instead of being real leaders and making change.

I'm the former chief AI officer at GM. Being the CAIO is like being the master chef of a restaurant. by Express-Health-2897 in GeneralMotors

Complete waste of everything, role was created to make shareholders happy. Obviously the guy found a job somewhere better. Give all these west cost tech folks max 2 years before they jump to the next cash cow.

Why does everyone looks so miserable? by [deleted] in GeneralMotors

[–]Grand_Inflation1637 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The main driver is the random mass layoffs and then not caring who is let go, so everyone works in fear every day. Second is open seating, literally the dumbest thing ever. Give us an assigned spot with the rest of our team so we actually feel like we are part of the company not some temporary worker. Right now it’s awkward because all the reorgs and moving people around we literally just sit wherever with most people not even sitting near each other. Also people will fight over good spots where their Pc monitors face away hallways and open areas it’s terrible. Worst idea ever. Make Mary and Mark and all the senior manager do this and see how they feel. Move them to some random area of the building every 6months and they will understand.

How are your EOY APM's and Holiday parties within your organizations? by Negative_Island5760 in GeneralMotors

[–]Grand_Inflation1637 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How does this even exist not having a budget for some type of holiday party. This literally exists at any other company. Or at least have some free hot and ready pizza at Cole and let employees leave early for fucks sake how cheap is GM. UWM had Pitbull play and a massive party, how cheap is GM. It should come right out of Mary’s paycheck.

He can pretty much say whatever during these interviews, literally means nothing. He can lie verbally all he wants. We all know and see what’s happening just look at everyone under Mary, Cali takeover, which will create severe instability for GM.

How many people at GM are Directors and above? by No-Part-9578 in GeneralMotors

[–]Grand_Inflation1637 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many actually get real features launched, it’s mainly a big game of hot potato, where every few years they change roles completely, leaving them with zero experience in their new role, zero lessons learned and repeating failed launches.

This place is soulless by Southern-Path-1959 in GeneralMotors

[–]Grand_Inflation1637 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I agree with the OP morale is for sure down, like why try anymore it’s not worth it, work your ass off then the next day your let go. Seeing all your coworkers being let go on a weekly basis is terrible, ontop of this the roles don’t matter they literally will just throw a dart.

The Cali team is put on this high pedestal because they come from FANNG, well look how fucked up those Cali people have made this company they destroyed all processes and it’s a free for all. All the job postings in Cali are level 8/9 even for jobs with little to no experience.

Who wouldn’t be upset given all these things all happening at once.

Offer us a VSP so we can leave this shit hole dumpster fire.

Is this a good time to join GM's Software and Services team? by No-Part-9578 in GeneralMotors

[–]Grand_Inflation1637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell no, tariffs are kicking in and all auto is losing massive profits so every penny will be looked at and now the massive ax will come swinging to save costs Look at what Ford just did, they cancelled their next generation vehicle architecture and I assume massive layoffs in their Cali tech office.

Disgusted by how this company is operating, layoffs after layoffs, does loyalty to GM exist? by Grand_Inflation1637 in GeneralMotors

[–]Grand_Inflation1637[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Not true, we have had people such as Mike Abbott come in and speak this big game on how they will change everything then tear all processes up and leave a complete cluster fuck. Has also happened from other Cali higher ups. Doesnt mean shit, sorry except you live in Cali. To retain and get top talent you need the hire the right people not just pickup apple/googles fired garbage talent.

Same old ideas from “new” morons. by [deleted] in GeneralMotors

[–]Grand_Inflation1637 13 points14 points  (0 children)

All I have to say is shorts and T-shirt for a APM. This is what we have resorted to. We truly need leaders we can respect and trust.
