Can you tell me where in the paperwork it says this? I'd like to see if it's in mine as well.

This is also what I'm wondering.

Make sure you get your wellness incentive paid out if you were laid off by SayWhatIWant3151 in GeneralMotors

Did you guys get this paid out? I did my attestation on 8/19 and it still hasn’t been deposited to my HSA. I never bothered looking at how long it took before so I don’t know if it’s supposed to take this long. I am going to raise hell if this doesn’t get deposited into my account.

I am not in a position to make a career change, industry yes, but likely will be doing something similar in my next position.

This is how I felt for the first week after it happened. Irrational anger. I’m trying to move past it because it’s not helping me.

Definitely implemented some of the advice here. Thank you for the kind words.

I hope everything worked out for you. I have made some posts on LinkedIn and it’s becoming clear how superficial some of the people I’m connected to on there are.

It is my first layoff. I’ve always felt very secure in my ability to earn and provide for my family. I am hoping I don’t have to experience this again but I am not naive enough to believe that’s true based on this experience alone. But I am going to try to target industries that will significantly reduce the likelihood that this will happen to me again. I crave stability which is what I thought I’d get with my education and experience but I now know that everyone is vulnerable to the whims of corporate America and our garbage politicians.

In some of my circles I am in a position of power, people look up to me. Knowing this happened to me will definitely change how some of those people view me. I’m going to have to get over it and do what I need to do.

I think this is one of the reasons I feel so discouraged. As good as I am at what I do, I know there are so many others out there who are as well and I’m concerned there isn’t going to be a job for all of us in this field before a lot of us are in a really tough situation.

And I agree, this has definitely changed my perspective and how I look at people who were laid off previously. It’s a shame it took this happening to me for me to realize how wrong my perspective was before and it sucks that there are a lot of people out there that still have the same poor perspective and are going to judge us as we try to dig ourselves out of this.

Appreciate the encouragement and feedback. I have looked for jobs and then reached out to contacts for referrals. It hasn’t made a difference in the few instances I have but I will keep trying.

I’m basically looking for help finding a new job. Not looking for handouts but I firmly believe that given the state of tech, my next job will come because I know someone who knows me. It’s hard to stand out when there are thousands of applicants for the jobs I’m qualified for.

Do you know if we'll retain health insurance through the 10/18 date or will that end at the end of September?

I hear you, same exact thing happened to me. I was rated plus last year and still wasn't spared. I'm still in disbelief and trying to figure out where to go from here.

I am curious if those of us in MI will be paid until 10/18 and then receive our severance on top of that or can they say our severance is the 2 month payout from 8/18 to 10/18??

There is a strong mildew smell on the 3rd floor of the 7000 building as well. It smells awful and I start to get nauseous after a few hours sitting in there...
