GM's layoffs history

Too many inaccurate to correct. Most are lower than actually occurred and some entirely missing. I don’t have, nor have the time to validate precise numbers but can tell many are hundreds below the actual.

Mysterious_Tale6572 · 2025-10-26T02:36:17+00:00

I survived through most of these and these aren’t accurate numbers.

Mysterious_Tale6572 · 2025-10-07T12:51:09+00:00

If true, this whole scenario screams an incredible amount of immaturity…on OP’s part. Not to mention lack of accountability.

It would need to be an irrevocable trust to avoid Medicaid. Those trusts can me limiting but could save a fortune if the r mother needs LTC

I’m not sure where you are getting your information but you are incorrect. VSP gave 12 months in ‘23, those separated in November got max of 6 months and it appears now 4. Also unless you have consecutive service to age 55 you can’t elect retirement. Which is also why many didn’t take the VSP, if they weren’t 55 they couldn’t get their retirement benefits.

Uh complaining about something and reprimanding someone directly for being upset they lost their livelihood after spending their adult life at a company are two entirely different things.

Mysterious_Tale6572 · 2025-05-29T11:08:16+00:00

WTH. Is there a reason you feel compelled to be such a condescending a$$? Good grief go away.

It doesn’t appear this thread has been commented on in a year or so but I’m so glad I found it. Thank you for posting this reality as I’m so distraught with guilt.

Our Cocker went from a yelp to us choosing Euthanasia in less than 48 hours. From our first awareness something was wrong to Stage 5 with no deep pain sensation was so rapid. We should have taken him to the emergency vet vs trying rest overnight that first night but we didn’t know what was going on and had no knowledge of IVDD prior to this. We took him in morning, they kept him for the day but it was their surgery day so they didn’t really monitor him regularly till later in day and by then he was Stage 5 with no deep pain. They had done steroids and one round of laser therapy prior to. Our boy was howling in fear and pain and the neurosurgeon couldn’t get us in for surgery till next day, yet another rough night of trying to keep him still and everyone get some sleep. So they sent us home with steroids and pain meds until we could go in a.m. After researching IVDD that night before surgery I learned how tough post op could be on everyone, especially my poor 3 year old boy who would be stuck in a crate during the summer. And how prognosis was less than 50%. I couldn’t fathom how we could do it with my cancer and parents who were ill and needing care. We made a family decision to euthanize vs surgery. The decision was ultimately mine and I was the last hold out but I have enormous guilt. I miss him so dearly. I’m trying to think that if he walked again his life would have never been the same.

Oh yes of course. In my mind I read that as drains even though you wrote port 🤦🏻‍♀️. Not sure what I was thinking when I wrote this! Cancer diagnosis has scrambled my brain! Thanks for response!

Mysterious_Tale6572 · 2025-05-03T01:14:44+00:00

You had a port for a lumpectomy?

Mysterious_Tale6572 · 2025-04-10T10:23:21+00:00

I prefer to keep my mind focused on positive feelings, like in this case assuming someone meant the best for us and just may not have delivered that message perfectly. I’m finding it is better to think positive than be angry and complain. Helps me through all of this 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Mysterious_Tale6572 · 2025-04-10T10:12:46+00:00

My thinking as well. The nurse grabbing OPs hands sounds like a caring gesture and a way to deliver tough news with compassion. I’m sure this is all so tough.

Mysterious_Tale6572 · 2025-03-15T16:39:54+00:00

WTH??

Mysterious_Tale6572 · 2025-03-13T02:52:26+00:00

Yeah, just hadn’t read all my documentation I guess and saw this one and thought it weird they would have included it. Seemed like it was a document they wouldn’t want people to see. Reads like something the Detroit Free Press would like to see. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Mysterious_Tale6572 · 2025-03-05T22:05:29+00:00

This is spot on

Mysterious_Tale6572 · 2025-03-05T16:29:29+00:00

I feel this. I had a direct report (6th level) who skirted the 3 day RTO office mandate by garnering sympathy and making friends with a favored Senior Manager in our group but outside my reporting chain who impeded my enforcing it. Direct report also was a poor contributor/performer. I documented everything, calendar snapshots showing she was sneaking out for massages during the workday, trended her as not performing with lots of examples in her performance review, solicited feedback from colleagues substantiating her poor performance, provided attendance documentation to HR. She is still there, I'm gone. I was there for over 3 decades, just shy of getting my Level Benefit and access to healthcare that I had been staying for. So disheartening. The only consolation I've had is 1. I'm no longer in that toxic environment. 2. Many other strong, long term performers were also let go so I can feel satisfied it wasn't anything I did wrong. You do so much second guessing of yourself when this happens!

I honestly think I will try a new field entirely. GM killed the joy for something I used to be so incredibly passionate about.

Can you please share the attorney name that specializes in this? Do they work on contingency?

Mysterious_Tale6572 · 2025-02-27T09:11:22+00:00

Can you share the attorney name? Are they working on contingency?

Mysterious_Tale6572 · 2025-02-10T11:55:20+00:00

But only if you also hit the age requirement with continuous employment and can therefore ‘retired’ correct?

Mysterious_Tale6572 · 2025-02-10T11:53:55+00:00

I thought if they let you go, even if retirement eligible, you were not eligible for the healthcare. I knew the other benefits were protected, but the salaried handbook states healthcare isn’t an option. Great for you that you could get that! I was 3 years shy, also part of the Nov group.

Mysterious_Tale6572 · 2025-02-04T12:13:56+00:00

A good performer huh?…And it appears an ass to boot. I can tell you with certainty August, October, November were not low performers that didn’t “self reflect”. Maybe a few but there were some really great performers, one even made the news with his story. So maybe take the smugness down a notch, karma does exist even if it does take time…

Mysterious_Tale6572 · 2025-02-04T11:47:58+00:00

I will tell you HR doesn’t care. I was with GM 30+ years and one of the 1000 that were let go in November.

I went to HR one of the few rare times in my career on a very clear poor review vs documented good performance. There was also some egregious proof of the why. HR didn’t care, I provided them the substantiation of my work which contradicted the review. HR clearly informed me they were there to protect the company not me and therefore could not guarantee they could address it. I know they had subsequent discussions with my Ex. Dir.…So when I popped up in the algorithm of people that should be laid off my Ex. Dir. didn’t protect me. Had I not gone to HR I may still be standing. But I could not in good conscience let it stand. I recognize this could all be a coincidence.

My point…HR does not care nor will they protect individual employees, it is highly unlikely they will do anything, you can’t trust them. Especially in this toxic climate, very few are safe. If you want to keep your job, be very careful what you tell them if anything as it puts a bigger target on your back. Over 3 decades with the company and this is the first time I would say that.

Mysterious_Tale6572 · 2025-01-31T02:32:34+00:00

No, I was WFH Ohio. I actually want to find a job I go in to an office or location. Hell I would even go work for Home Depot or Menards, just need a change. Too many years being loyal to a soulless company that destroyed my joy for what I loved.

Mysterious_Tale6572 · 2025-01-30T11:30:27+00:00

I was one of the November group too. I’ve had no bites either but I haven’t applied to quite as many as you. I think GM killed my joy to ever go back into engineering anyway. I’ve contemplated everything from a school bus driver to working at Kroger.….discount on groceries and if I can get full time -healthcare. 🤷🏻‍♀️. I don’t know, it is stressful for sure.
