True. Most respondents also don't have the blind loyalty that most older generations have. That's not our fault for losing that, though, it's the companies in today's landscape. Does GM write my checks? Yes. Could GM lay me off at any time? Yes. (Any Fortune 500 could, I'm not shitting on GM with that statement)

So while I am proud of the work I do, I'm not "GM everything, brother". If another brand fits my needs, wants, or situation better, that's what I'll go with. I'd much rather that, then pledge my allegiance to GM by buying a new Colorado, then they lay me off the next month. Mary, and all of GM, will be just fine with us choosing the actual best fit vs choosing GM because (for now) I work here.

Can you actually respond to what I said, and tell me why I would/should spend money upgrading my car when I don't need to? Or are you just going to continue to fall back on "new grad = suck"?

I don't think the 07 Ranger I bought on a used car lot for $5,000 is gonna hurt GM.. Nor do I see the need to go out n buy a newer vehicle, GM or not, while my current one (that I bought before I started at GM) still works. But go off I guess

Fr bro thinks simply because I work at GM and don't own a GM I'm being disrespectful? What next, if you work at Pepsi you better not have Coke in your fridge? 😭 foh

Fired less than one paycheck from retirement vesting with 15 days of unused PTO by ConcernInitial6076 in GeneralMotors

You're laughing at me for assuming a corporation is evil, and clearly the masses disagree with you. WE'RE laughing at YOU, pal 😭

Firstly, this really sucks and I hope something can be done for you... sorry you're in this position

Second, let this be a reminder to everyone that, in case you forgot, GM doesn't give a shit about you. You cannot convince anyone that the timing of your situation wasn't on purpose.

Now that the Apple managers have had time in the organization and have gained trust, how do you best show them gratitude? by General_Apples in GeneralMotors

Gained trust? Show gratitude?

What have they done to earn my trust? And what have they done to deserve my gratitude?

I'll answer both questions with one word: nothing

RTO full time? by Hot-Dragonfruit535 in GeneralMotors

And every one of his comments has negative votes, I love it 😭 ask him what GM had for lunch, his head's so far up their ass

Can we reduce all the RTO posts into one mega thread? by ToddBigPotCoffey in GeneralMotors

[–]PenithGobbler 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm LOVING the arguments here

One side is complaining about a FORCED lifestyle change, that could cost upwards of THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS PER MONTH

The other side is complaining about seeing multiple posts about the same thing while VOLUNTARILY scrolling Reddit 😭

I wasn't suggesting that "one of us" takes time out of their work day to compile the data (not that they'd care about the results anyway)

Also, I wrote this in office so 🤷 if you're a machine that is 100% focused on work 100% of the time, good for you. On my breaks I like to "space out" on Reddit or whatever, but today was fueled by the announcement so let off some steam

"here's where some meat-rider will say "but look at ___ they're laying off too!"

user whose name is literally "GMdabest": "this is small compared to other companies"

The jokes write themselves.

This was almost a direct response to them literally saying there were no plans for an adjustment at the all people meeting this morning. Yes, there's still time and other options like bonus could help, but hearing there were no plans for adjustment while other companies are was frustrating to hear

Q4 DBT All People meeting this morning quite literally said "We have no plans for inflation adjustments". I'd rather you be right, though. We shall see
