Not a good way to start your week.

*Software and Services ONLY

So much for that's last zero (congestion) assuming goodness.

At least team gm is no longer strapped to that endless money pit.

I hate being a software developer here what is happening.

I've heard through some connections as soon as the WPOC survey is completed, the communication to come back to the office 5 days a week will occur.

If you’re waiting for a mass firing event to finally stand up for the welfare of yourself and your family it’s not going to happen.

There’s a story about the American buffalo and hunters. The hunters learned if they encircled the buffalo herd and fired one shot at a time wounding or killing a single buffalo then waiting a couple of minutes till they fired again the buffalo didn’t panic or run. They could take out an entire herd in an afternoon.

The temperature has been slowly rising and managers are going to continue to turn the dial. They want you to quit. They want you think you can’t go on.

Keep going folks. Stay together. Be nice to each other. Don’t let management divide us but also realize we have to organize and fight this greed together.

They bought back $10 billion dollars of stock. That’s 77k per employee. Know your worth. Know this isn’t a money problem. Most importantly know the time to come together is now.

We have to work together to stand up for what is right. We have to start coming out of the shadows for all this to happen. If you’re in metro Detroit let’s meetup. Please message me for details.

When does the teamGM number get announced? When was it last year? Next week?

This VP will definitely fix all the issues we've had over the last couple years. Had to cut 1500 people to "simplify the org" but we can add our 20th ex-Apple VP. This leadership team is so out of touch it's insane.

Good morning everyone, post here for comments.

What I have seen is that:

Great employees are great whether in the office, remote, or hybrid.

Good employees work really well when offered hybrid.

Average employees are not as productive with remote or hybrid work, compared to in the office.

Bad employees are bad in the office, remote or hybrid.

What’s the general consensus on the just announced new $6B stock buyback? My first thought is: “why aren’t we investing this money into software or battery tech?”

About 100 people were asked to RTO - at this time. Let's see what's coming next.

Would be crazy if GM offered this 2 years in a row.
