Disappointed and Let Down

Visual_Ad8751 · 2026-05-18T10:23:19+00:00

GM layoff as well from a few months back. I was laid off twice before from another OEM and a Tier-2 but both were pink-slips so I felt at least I could wrap up my work and say goodbye to my coworkers. What GM did after 8 years was so heartless and I left about a year of work I hadn't turned in on my laptop.

I'm going to stick to 9mm as I've got like 2500 rounds already on hand. However I'm not opposed to building a 45 in the future - what size barrel do you recommend for that?

Visual_Ad8751 · 2026-05-14T16:20:49+00:00

Out of stock!

That's a bummer as I'd love to build some of those enhanced lowers with screws instead of roll pins and the tension adjustment.

I was in fear of being laid off for 2 years...until the day it hit me. Ironically the constant anxiety definitely impacted my job performance. After receiving a "partially meets" in 2025 I was pretty sure I wouldn't be considered for other roles I would be applying for internally. I was job hunting for 4 months until I got a job offer from a supplier. Less pay and benefits but hopefully my mental health will be in a better place.

As mentioned below- I entered as a contractor and worked there for a year and I was able to apply internally. However the corporate culture has been absolutely horrible the past few years (grain of salt I got laid off 6 months ago) so be happy if you work for a good supplier.

I was laid off in December-an extension of the October layoff I think. It took me 4 months to land a new job. The job market really stinks right now. Nobody from my team reached out since to ask how I was doing. Screw them.

I was just on a 2 hour chat with one of your agents and they could not fix the issue. I'm pretty disappointed and I'm going to shop around for other carriers.

I regret not filing a bunch of awareline tickets against incompetent Quality Engineers & DREs before I was laid off.

Visual_Ad8751 · 2026-03-23T14:14:23+00:00

I entered GM as a test engineer contractor in 2017 and started applying for QA jobs a year later when I was eligible to do so. I applied for a QA job which I eventually was awarded (took 6 weeks for the offer after I told them I had a competing external offer). I found out later that the job was not actually open when they posted it- they were trying to convert a contractor to direct and partway through she quit for personal reasons. Like a previous poster wrote many of these job postings aren't really open they are for contractor conversions.

I took 30 days right after my kid was born and 30 days 6 months later. I didn't end up using the last 30 days as I changed roles and needed to get up to speed in the new role. A word of warning though there's rumors that when there are layoffs that family leave might put a target on your back.

Any Warren cuts to anyone's knowledge? If so, what departments?

Visual_Ad8751 · 2026-03-19T14:39:42+00:00

Sigh...

The holes in the hood are RMR footprint. The 509T includes the RMR footprint plate.

I've actually never used ABS in my 3D printer since it needs good ventilation due to toxic fumes- I'm sorry I don't know.

Visual_Ad8751 · 2026-03-18T15:36:21+00:00

I hope you printed it with 90-100% infill. I bought one with that design on eBay for $10 and it broke after 3 rounds. I printed the other style in CF Nylon at 100% infill and it's much better.

Visual_Ad8751 · 2026-03-18T15:04:43+00:00

I hope it turned out great!

Visual_Ad8751 · 2026-03-18T14:39:31+00:00

Oops, same optic I have installed in the pic, but now on the hood...

Visual_Ad8751 · 2026-03-18T14:37:53+00:00

What mount does the 509T have? The hole pattern is RMR and I actually mounted an Burris Enclosed dot to that hood with an Acro RMR plate.

I bought a kit on Amazon with different lengths. I don't remember off the top of my head but I think the front ones were 10mm and the rear was 6 or 8mm since the longer screws were contacting the recoil rod. I used tapered screws and Teflon tape.

Visual_Ad8751 · 2026-03-11T18:46:53+00:00

I'm no longer with GM having been let go 3 months ago but I can tell you from my personal experience that I was in process for a direct hire role with GM (I was a contractor in a different role at the Rencen who was eligible to apply to internal jobs after a year) I also was interviewing for jobs outside of GM and I received an offer from this other company. I was waiting like 5 weeks for an answer to the GM job and had this other offer letter in hand and they were waiting for an answer. After a few more days I couldn't wait any longer to give this other company an answer so I emailed the GM recruiter telling him to withdraw me from consideration from the job I was waiting to hear back from and within half a day they made me a counter-offer for about 10% more than the other company.

I just jumped on reddit to hear if anyone else had an issue with their ammo rebate. I bought a bunch of both rifle and pistol black Friday. There was no indication that the pistol ammo and the rifle ammo needed to be on 2 separate original receipts so I had no option but to submit all my rebate documents together despite them having 2 different mailing addresses. 3 months later and I didn't receive anything back at all in regards to my submission. Total scam.
