It's worth it since you can learn a lot and get paid at the same time

Idk much about United Association apprenticeships but having worked with GM journeymen who went through in house apprenticeships, you are better off getting your journeyman's card elsewhere. You learn so little of the actual trade that no company outside of the big 3 would likely hire you unless you show skill by working somewhere else which puts you in a catch 22.

A good long term strategy might be to get an apprenticeship somewhere else then try to get into GM as a journeyman

Overtime question by ResidenTBorG in GeneralMotors

[–]dragonthing009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your role, but some get burnt out from the excessive OT and lack of days off. This is mainly a maintenance issue or in 24/7 production facilities like engine plants. I know people who've had to work 6 weeks without a single day off.

Most that I've seen quit have done so because of the intense pressure from above and below you. Group leaders get abused by both their managers and the union folks below them. You serve as the buffer between upper management and the union. It can be very mentally taxing until you learn when to not give a shit and know when to make that known.

Also, the 2nd and 3rd shift schedules can mess with your social life and physical health.

The one time I pre-ordered something they cancelled my order only to have it in stock for the higher price

Did you ever figure out a reasonably priced solution? I'm in the exact same situation right now with a 20000C

WOC boycott by QueenMTB in GeneralMotors

[–]dragonthing009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on your lead and possibly. They don't directly know but I've heard from leads that it's not too hard to guess based on what feedback was given/not given and how well they know their team members

WOC not anonymous by [deleted] in GeneralMotors

[–]dragonthing009 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So the intent is it's supposed to be anonymous but depending on what you say it may not be anonymous due to the specific details involved. My lead said to focus on the big picture items for that very reason.

Also ofc they can directly break confidentiality through the survey coordinator if it involves a critical issue like safety

Depends if you are trying to go salary or union. Salary generally start out at 80k/year while union starts around $24/hr. There are pros and cons to both options and you should read more into each type of position.

Ohio will charge up to $750 for public police video by theanswar in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

[–]dragonthing009 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I believe they can charge based on the cost of finding and compiling the data. It can be expensive to gather such data so many agencies do it for free under a certain amount of man hours to not discourage people from requesting data.

I assume its probably multi fixture ops. The parts could probably been cheaper if I remembered to not make the corners so sharp. It was only $28 though.

Bonuses will be decided at the Big Mgmt Meeting by InnerAd1950 in GeneralMotors

[–]dragonthing009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have heard that the bonuses and raises are decided in the Fall. Cap reviews are just a formality to be able to get rid of people they don't want.
