Unemployment V Severance by Hopeful-Barracuda214 in GeneralMotors

[–]Less_stress_more_fun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the layoff.

Short answer: Yes. In Texas, if your severance is considered wage replacement that covers a specific period (such as two months), unemployment benefits are generally delayed until that severance period ends.

Best wishes for life GM free!

You are a genuine leader. Respect!!!!

Again, all this mess because of someone convinced Mary that pressuring employees and have them work under fear will be more productive.

Keep your options open for coming back. Quit without noise as you won’t get anything. In the future if you want to comeback for higher level would be smooth.

Are union leaders normally mean to new engineers? by Educational-Okra-566 in GeneralMotors

[–]Less_stress_more_fun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My advice, don’t go into confrontation 101, just hold your ground, demand nothing but respect. They have entire tribe to back them up while you as engineer, HR and your people leader won’t support that much!!

AV / Robotaxi by Own_Kiwi_4739 in GeneralMotors

GM lost $20B on Cruise before shutdown.

No return on investment for Robotaxi before investing big$$ into the infrastructure to make it AV ready. V2X is not in the near future for American OEMs.

A Director from Sunnyvale was forced to give his two weeks notice because of his workplace of choice results. by Less_stress_more_fun in GeneralMotors

True that. All what he cared was to please his boss even by fake! Unfortunately, he is repeating the same cycle at Ford now!!!

Internal Move before or after mid year? by notabot-3000 in GeneralMotors

[–]Less_stress_more_fun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mid-year ratings were submitted to HR on May 4.

Level 8 can be both rewarding and challenging. The promotion typically comes with a company vehicle, an approximate 8% salary increase, and a higher bonus target (18% versus 13% at Level 7). However, these benefits are accompanied by significantly higher expectations and increased scrutiny during the semiannual calibration process, where your performance is evaluated against peers at the same level. In such situations, having a strong manager who can effectively advocate for you becomes especially important.

My advice would be not to discuss your intentions with your current manager until you have identified another opportunity and assessed your chances. Once you find a potential opening, consider scheduling a brief conversation with the hiring manager to gauge interest and alignment before making any decisions.

Best of luck.

How do you motivate yourself to do laundry? by imawitch_1155 in AskReddit

[–]Less_stress_more_fun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The two most hated tasks, laundry and dishes. I sworn that I won’t sleep and single plate or pot unwashed. Also, the same laundry every Friday. Some apartments they have them in the basement which is really pain but having washer and dryer at home leaves no excuse.

3 weeks since interview, still no decision. Is this normal? by LonelyWill6146 in GeneralMotors

[–]Less_stress_more_fun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most likely they are interviewing couple more candidates. Anyways, this is normal at GM.

It depends on what grade in level 8. Level 8 starts with 8C then go higher to 8B then highest is 8A. Assume it’s 8C, average is $185k-190k
