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.

Lansing Plant Shutdown - What's Next for GM?

Just saw the news about the 361 layoffs at the Lansing plant. Aug 14th. That's a pretty significant chunk of people. 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.

Confirmed this morning, 361 employees impacted by layoffs at the Lansing facilities, effective August 14th. This comes from multiple internal sources and has now been reported by MLive.com.

Another 361 gone in Lansing. Anyone know the real reason?

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.

GM Lansing Cuts: What's the Strategy Here?

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 trying to streamline operations, or is it a sign that certain product lines are being de-emphasized? I've seen rumors about shifts in EV production and component sourcing, but nothing concrete. Anyone with insider knowledge or insights into the company's direction? Trying to piece together the puzzle here. It's hard to stay optimistic when these kinds of numbers keep popping up, especially in the same locations.

Okay, so another 1000 people are out at GM in Detroit, reported on the 22nd. This is becoming a pattern, and frankly, it's making me nervous about the long-term direction of the company. Are they shedding legacy operations faster than anticipated, or is this a sign of deeper financial trouble? It's hard to reconcile these massive cuts with the public statements about investing in new tech. Maybe they're consolidating roles aggressively, or perhaps certain divisions are simply being phased out ahead of schedule. I'm trying to understand the bigger picture here. What are others hearing? Is this a planned reduction, or a reaction to something more significant? Feels like a major fork in the road for GM.

Is GM's strategy sustainable with these constant layoffs?

Another 1000 employees gone, announced yesterday. My cousin works in Detroit and confirmed it's impacting a lot of people he knows. It's starting to feel less like strategic restructuring and more like a constant bloodletting. I'm not directly at GM, but we supply parts to them, and the uncertainty is palpable. When a company of GM's size keeps making these large-scale cuts, it makes you wonder about the underlying business model. Are they over-promised on something?

Just saw the news about GM laying off another 1000 folks, this time hitting Detroit. June 22nd, so pretty recent. Feels like the hits just keep coming for this company. Wondering how many more rounds are left in them. This latest batch was apparently spread across a few different areas, but Detroit seems to be taking a significant chunk. Hard to stay positive when you see these numbers. My cousin works there and he's been on edge for months. He says morale is in the toilet. Everyone's looking over their shoulder.

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?

Seriously, did anyone see the after-hours drop? It's gotta be more than just macro stuff, right? I'm in software, been here about 5 years and seen a couple of these cycles before. Always feels like the stock takes a hit, then a month or two later, bam, 'restructuring' or 'right-sizing' or whatever euphemism they're using this time.

Been at GM (Manufacturing) for 3 years now, and honestly, I'm not sure this is the right place for me. I've got a lead on a role at a smaller company that seems more aligned with my long-term goals. But I'm worried about burning bridges. Has anyone left GM voluntarily and then successfully come back later? What kind of reputation do you get for leaving, even if it's on good terms?

Well, it finally happened. Got the call this morning. Laid off. I was a software engineer in the infotainment group, been with the company for 5 years. They said it was a 'restructuring' and my position was 'eliminated.' BS. They walked me out the door like a criminal. Five years of my life, gone.

Seriously, what's with the interview process here??

I had an interview for a Senior Software Engineer position last week. It was supposed to be a technical interview, but it turned into a philosophical debate about agile methodologies and cloud architectures. The interviewer kept asking these hypothetical questions that seemed designed to trip me up rather than assess my actual skills. I have 10 years of experience. Is this normal for GM? I also got asked about 'culture fit' for a whole 30 minutes, felt like I was being screened for personality more than competence. I'm not even sure I want the job anymore, even though the salary was decent. This whole thing felt incredibly bizarre and a waste of time. Are all the engineering positions like this or did I just get a bad interviewer?

Honestly, I saw the writing on the wall with all the automation projects they've been pushing. The severance package was okay - 2 weeks for every year of service, plus outplacement services for a few months. I'm not thrilled, but it could be worse. I'm mostly worried about finding another job quickly, especially with the market the way it is. Anyone else been through this recently?
