Is GM leadership completely out of touch with Lansing?

I’ve been reading the headlines all morning and it’s honestly maddening. Another 361 people gone in Lansing. It feels like every time the stock price dips or they miss a milestone on the EV transition, they just grab the axe and start swinging at the regional plants. Do they honestly think we can maintain operational efficiency while morale is effectively zero? The disconnect between the executive team talking about 'innovation' and the actual reality of the shop floor is wider than it has ever been. I’m tired of the town halls where they talk about synergy while we’re all looking over our shoulders wondering if our badge will work tomorrow. Does anyone have any insight on if this is the end of the cuts for this quarter, or is this just the first wave of a much larger reduction coming in the fall? I’m exhausted by the uncertainty.

Lansing cuts - anyone else feeling the heat?

Is anyone else here actually surprised by the news today? We knew the 2026 targets were aggressive, but seeing 361 people get the email this morning is still a gut punch. It’s always the same vague 'strategic restructuring' corporate speak, but it doesn't mask the fact that people who have been here for a decade are just being wiped off the roster overnight. My manager is acting like everything is business as usual, but the mood on the floor is absolutely dead. How many more rounds are we expecting before the end of Q4? I’ve started updating my resume, but with the current state of the auto market, I’m not sure where to even pivot. If you’re one of the ones impacted today, I’m truly sorry—this place just doesn’t feel like it has any loyalty to the workforce anymore.

Is anyone actually seeing a pivot to EVs or just cutting costs?

Watching the latest round of cuts in Lansing, I’m honestly struggling to see the long-term vision here. We keep hearing about the 'transformation' and the shift to electric, but the people being let go seem to be the ones actually keeping the lights on in operations. Are we pivoting, or are we just stripping the company for parts to appease shareholders before the next quarterly call? I’ve been in the industry long enough to know that you can’t cut your way to innovation. When you lose 300+ people in one sweep, you’re losing institutional knowledge that takes years to rebuild. I’ve seen some of my most talented peers in middle management get the boot this week, and the workload for those of us left behind is becoming genuinely unsustainable. They want more output with fewer resources, and they expect us to be excited about it. Is anyone else feeling like the strategy here is just 'survive until the next layoff' rather than building anything meaningful? Curious if others are seeing this shift away from core engineering towards pure bean-counting across other GM campuses, or if Lansing is just getting hit harder than most.

August 14th Lansing notifications: What's the mood?

It’s been a rough few days since the news dropped on the 14th. I’m currently sitting at my desk in Lansing just waiting to see if a meeting invite pops up. The official numbers are sitting at 361, but the floor feels completely hollow today. I've heard rumors that this isn't the end of the wave, just the beginning of the Q3 adjustment, but honestly, at this point, I don't know who to believe. Leadership hasn't sent a single transparent email since the press releases hit the news sites. I’ve been with GM for over six years, and I’ve never seen the culture feel this toxic. People are just walking around with their heads down, checking their personal phones, and updating their LinkedIn profiles in plain sight. It’s impossible to focus on any deliverables when you’re constantly checking your inbox for a 'mandatory check-in' calendar invite. If you were impacted or know someone who was, can you confirm if they gave notice or if it was immediate access cut-off? Trying to manage my anxiety here and figure out if I need to start clearing out my personal files today.

Struggling to justify staying at GM

Honestly, at what point does it stop? The news about the 361 employees in Lansing is just another punch in the gut. I feel like we’re constantly in a cycle of 'restructuring' that never actually fixes the underlying rot in the middle management. I have friends at other OEMs who have been hiring consistently, while here it feels like we’re just waiting for the next axe to fall. I used to be proud to say I worked at GM. Now, it just feels like we’re holding our breath for half the year. The constant uncertainty is draining my energy, and I’m finding it harder to put in the effort when I see how little institutional loyalty there is toward the staff. Are we just waiting for the next quarterly report to see who’s on the chopping block next? I’m genuinely curious if anyone else is actively interviewing right now. I don't want to be the last one left on a sinking ship, but the golden handcuffs make it tough to pull the plug. Let's talk about exit strategies.

Lansing cuts hitting core engineering/ops teams?

Anyone else getting the 'meeting' invite? Word around the watercooler is that the 361 folks let go in Lansing today weren't just low-level contractors. I’ve heard rumors of long-timers getting the boot. It’s hard to stay motivated when you’re watching your desk neighbors get walked out while the higher-ups talk about 'efficiency' and 'streamlining' in the quarterly town halls. I’ve been with GM for over six years, and I’ve never seen morale this low. Every time an email subject line hits my inbox with a vague header, my heart hits my throat. Is there any transparency left? Or are we just numbers on a spreadsheet for the 2026 outlook? I'm already polishing the resume. The culture has shifted from building great vehicles to just surviving the next round of cuts. If you're affected, please drop some info on the severance packages so the rest of us know what to potentially prepare for. Stay strong out there.

Is GM just bleeding talent to stay afloat?

Watching the latest news about the 361 cuts in Lansing makes me wonder if leadership has any actual long-term plan or if we’re just cutting payroll to prop up the stock price for the quarter. We keep hearing about 'efficiencies' and 'transformation,' but in reality, it feels like we’re losing the institutional knowledge that made this company work in the first place. You can’t build the future of the automotive industry if you keep burning through your workforce every six months. I’m looking at the landscape and it’s bleak. Every time a new round hits, the people who actually know how to get things done are the first to look for the exit door voluntarily. I’m currently debating whether to jump ship before I get tapped on the shoulder or stick it out to see if there’s a light at the end of this tunnel. Does anyone actually think the strategy in place is going to stick, or are we just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic? I’m genuinely curious if the remaining teams feel like the output quality is slipping as much as I think it is.

Another round of cuts: 361 gone in Lansing today

It’s happening again. Just got word that 361 people were let go in Lansing today. The communication was the usual corporate nonsense—vague emails followed by revoked badge access. I’ve been here long enough to know that when the company starts trimming the Lansing operations, it’s rarely a one-off event. It’s always 'restructuring' or 'aligning with EV goals,' but that doesn't make the severance package hurt any less or pay the mortgage for those suddenly out of a job. I’m hearing from friends on the floor that morale is non-existent. People are staring at their screens waiting for a calendar invite that means the end of their career here. It feels like death by a thousand cuts. If you’re at the Lansing site, please update your resume tonight and start reaching out to your network. Don't wait for the company to tell you that you're 'no longer a fit.' I’m honestly exhausted by the constant cycle of uncertainty. Is there anyone left who actually feels secure in their seat, or are we all just waiting for the next round of bad news?

361 Laid Off in Lansing - Is This Just GM's Strategy?

So, another 361 people just got the axe in Lansing. August 14th. This is getting ridiculous. Are we just supposed to accept this as the new normal? Seems like every few months there's another round of layoffs at GM. They talk about investing in EVs and future tech, but then they cut a huge chunk of their workforce. Makes you question the long-term vision or if it's just short-term cost-cutting disguised as 'restructuring'. Anyone know if these roles are being eliminated entirely, or are they trying to redistribute the work? Feels like a kick in the teeth for those affected, especially with the uncertainty surrounding the auto sector. Just venting here, but it's a tough situation.

I've been hearing whispers for a while, but this feels pretty final for that location. Anyone working there or know someone affected? What's the official word from GM? Seems like the market's been tough, but is this just the beginning? Feels like the auto industry is in constant flux these days. Makes you wonder about job security even if you're not directly in manufacturing. Supply chain, R&D, admin... feels like nobody is safe. Curious to hear what people are hearing on the ground.

Just saw the news about the latest 361 layoffs at the Lansing plant. This is getting ridiculous. It feels like they're just bleeding people dry. I've heard whispers about restructuring and efficiency drives, but honestly, it feels more like a constant need to hit short-term numbers. Are they prepping for an EV transition and shedding ICE capacity, or is something else going on under the hood? The constant uncertainty is killing morale. Feels like we're all just waiting for the next axe to fall. Anyone have any inside scoop or thoughts on what the long-term plan is, if there even is one? This isn't sustainable for the people working there.

So 361 more layoffs at GM Lansing. Seeing the news reports and it's pretty grim. Makes me wonder what the actual strategy is behind these cuts.

Are they shedding legacy operations faster than anticipated, or is this a sign of deeper financial trouble?

So, yeah, made it through the last 'reorganization' unscathed. Got to keep my job, same salary, same team. Except, like, half my team is gone. Good people, people I liked working with. And I'm just...here. Feeling super guilty about it. Anyone else feeling this way? Like, should I be looking for another job just because I feel like I don't deserve to still be here? Or am I just being overly sensitive? The workload has definitely increased, and morale is in the toilet. I'm a hardware engineer in Milford, working on future vehicle programs.
