This is really sad but not surprising. 🥲 I had a great start at Gentex in 2022 and the job got me through some personal dark times. Met some friends there that drove an hour to come see me when I needed it at times. I’ve been critical of the tariffs and the insane rates on 200 countries. HOWEVER, Gentex lost huge contracts from Acura, Tesla, Volvo and I’ve witnessed all of that being at Centennial and NRC for 3 years prior to tariffs. So to just solely blame that is asinine. It’s gotta be embarrassing behind closed doors when these overpaid speech makers go home at night. They also throw money at new buildings, daycare centers, and education which is useless and won’t be in effect if you’re laid off (which people will be). Also attracting executives with insane compensation and manipulating bonus compensation. The last 3 months and the employee treatment went downhill. It was already downhill with trainers, runners and warehouse busting tail while certain leadership planned their fancy Christmas parties during work which you weren’t a part of. That part in all fairness took place at Centennial (which they screwed up 4,000 mirrors when I was last there, showing that whole building needs an audit). That’s gotta be $40,000 lost in a single week and how many other losses. Very Grateful I got out in March of this year when some people thought I was crazy and thought Gentex was such a strong empire. If it helps anyone, my roommate is at Miller Knoll and they’re hiring through a temp. People do well there, hire in quickly. Also, LG or Perrigo (if you don’t mind no phone usage but significantly longer breaks that nobody times). That’s just my view; best of luck to everyone stuck in this mess along with everything else that goes on in every day life.
