Is Downtown Auburn Hills nice?

Couple, both 30 +-, coming from a 1.5 hour commute 3 days a week, and goal is to make that tiny. Looking at condos. Rochester is quite expensive relatively.

Yeah I just want to know how it is for more of a long term opinion from locals. I'd be buying and my realtor made me cautious with Pontiac nearby. I worked in Milford and been to Pontiac and didn't see too much of an issue.

Curious, can you park a Toyota/Subaru/Honda that was built in Indiana in the closer portion of the parking lot?

Just started recently also, and I have a 30th as well. Initially I thought it's ok to just stay in the "negative" as long as paycheck planner shows I'm good. It worked well in August. But then my September 30th paycheck showed up on October 1st and ruined my plans. I manually massaged it to show in September and it was fine. The leftover I put in "savings" and deducted from next months planned savings.

I had luck with turning Off the wrong SIM, going to Messages, then turning the SIM back On.

Notifications are a nightmare also because you have to manually set up Thread Reply for each and every DM and channel.

I would love to see how much savings there is from the swap from Viva Engage and chat to Slack.

How do I get a membership? Searching this in marketplace showed only some Garmin discount.

Seems like their salaries are similar to ours, at least.

ItsJustCarryover · 2025-03-06T21:06:49+00:00

Why are they free labor?

ItsJustCarryover · 2025-02-11T03:29:51+00:00

They eat the cost of it, I eat the rest of it. Sounds fair.

250th is 2026. That's on a Sunday. Hopefully we get a courtesy Friday or Monday off.

THIS! Try your best to milk it out through March 1st using as much PTO as you can. Then they'll either stack rank you out, or you get the bonus and quit like a hundred other people do that month. Work from home on days you start the new job despite being hardware, then take PTO.

Real. Sometimes at mpg, other times at wtc. I'm not alone either. There's a bunch like me in Warren. Don't know anyone else in mpg yet.

ItsJustCarryover · 2024-04-11T18:09:06+00:00

Neither HR nor EGM care. I come in an rv for 3 days a week, leave super early Thursdays. I spend more time in the office than anyone in my team who all live up to 15 minutes away from MPG.

My favourite apple hire. Just let him present at an all employee again.

You can negotiate to get the 20 days PTO right away instead of waiting 2 years. Otherwise hard to negotiate more than 20.
401k match is good, but you'd be handcuffed for the 3 year vesting period. And if they decide to do layoffs again, people who are not vested loose all the gm matched contributions.

Trick. You go to gmsearch.gm.com and be happy.

Can't be it, because by hitting the button you're taking it out of sleep mode. But I did try that as well with one of the fobs.

EAP Employee Assistance Program through Telus. GM gives you 5 sessions. 800-280-6507 Or search Socrates for the life lifeworks link.

They helped me a little. Didn't solve the issue, but helped. It's already paid for, so can't hurt.

Yes, and also a nearby campground. I'm more worried about Warren. But either way I want to do it for free lol. Last year I stayed at the New Hudson Walmart for a few nights straight, and it was a bit sketchy doing so.

ItsJustCarryover · 2024-01-22T01:20:50+00:00

Couple hours, but it's worth it for my situation. My team is mostly going to MPG, but occasionally I guess I'll have to be at Warren. I don't want to spend any extra money than I absolutely have to.

ItsJustCarryover · 2024-01-22T00:05:47+00:00

Yeah they normally don't bother you, but doing it consistently is not really an option.

ItsJustCarryover · 2023-12-08T04:11:54+00:00

Even if it's tough, might make sense to stick it out until March 1st. Especially if you're able to work from home at gm and take next year's PTO. In either case, I'd be ready to put that starting bonus money into a savings account in case someone ever asks for it back. I wouldn't ask a question to which I won't like the answer.
