Did anyone here go on short term disability for mental health reasons? If so how long were you out and what was paid out in terms of salary. Thanks in advance

Who’s excited for Google software?

How long until we go back?

Does anyone have a phone number for the GM Relocation Repayment Team? I received a notice to repay the relocation after resignation last and I immediately emailed the specified address with some questions before I mail a check. They haven’t responded and I would like to follow up with a phone call if possible.

It’s a bit ridiculous for them to give 30 days to repay and then not respond to emails within a remotely timely manner.

Hello all, I have applied for this role and been pursued by multiple recruiters for “brand concierge”, also listed as “content creator”, and similar. So far, I think I have seen this listed with the following businesses:
Insight Global, Iconma, Acro Service Corp, Aquent, NDX Human Capital Solutions, Experis, The Mom Project… my guess is there are MANY others.

I pre-interviewed with Iconma, and Insight Global. Could someone @GM confirm this is legitimate? It’s pretty scary to feel that so many companies may be hijacked or literally looking for the same candidate.
The wording of this job is typically like this:

If i have 8/21/23 seniority and i now have my starc certificate and im in the pool how long should i be expecting to wait since im internal?? for my locations i have Arlington and wentzville

My understanding is you have to stay for at least 2 years to not have to pay back the relocation funds. If anyone's had to repay them what is the process? Is it just like a direct deposit except in reverse?

But I also heard people saying if you stay at least 1 year but less than 2 you'd only have to pay back 50% of it. Is this also true?

And in some anecdotes I've heard of people not having to pay back anything regardless of how long they've been with the company. Like they just 'forgot' to ask for the money back.

Curious to hear people's stories.

Maybe it’s just my specific area and/or projects I’m working on but the last few months or so it feels like I never have enough time in the day to get what I need to get done completed on top of higher ups being more hesitant to make the right decisions for the project/ vehicle. When I reach out to my colleagues they have similar sentiments about working in overdrive due to the increased workload, smaller teams than we’ve had in the past, and even higher expectations for productivity and completion. Not sure how things changed so quickly but it truly feels like it shifted in a blink of an eye. I’ve worked here for years and have seen multiple company wide changes however there was always a feeling that things would naturally recalibrate down the line. It feels different this year especially with the push to make decisions so quickly without all of the data pulled together within the requested timeframe. These cultural shifts aren’t giving me the same impression that they’ll be able to recalibrate anytime soon.

Arden the “witch”apparently pushed an age profiling scheme for the MBA program, initially targeting employees 4–7 years after undergraduate graduation, and now expanding it to 10 years.

Here’s the problem: GM Legal reportedly warned that the original 4–7-year criteria could potentially trigger age-discrimination allegations.

But apparently the strategy is: implement the damn plan first and deal with the legal consequences later.

That’s not leadership. That’s reckless management “fuck the consequences, we’ll clean it up later.”

That’s how to get promos at GM!!!!

My coworker asked me about GM today, and I told her that, aside from the stacked-ranking system especially before itGM is actually a pretty chill place to work. The people are nice, the workload is manageable, and the work-life balance is good. Especially depends on the team you join. The scary part is the layoffs, plus the whole open-office situation.
So I asked her to choose between GM and our current team.
My team is a whole different story. When I started here last February, I knew 10 people. Out of those 10, only 3 are still here. And no, they weren’t fired 😂. Our boss just has a special talent for making people’s lives miserable. I think Nobita was born with it. (I nicknamed him Nobita from doraemon in my brain because I swear to god he does look like Nobita.)🤣
The project I just completed originally had four people who worked on it in past and never got it to completion . All four quit before 14 months😂. I literally just found out today that even our HR rep doesn’t like our boss.
But the funny thing is, I’ve actually been trying to keep this guy on the throne because the second-in-command is WAY more evil than him. It’s like comparing a Fiat to a Ferrari. 😭
So even when I don’t like my boss, I put on an act like he’s the greatest boss ever and leave him good reviews. Why? Because I absolutely do NOT want the other guy becoming my boss. Plus I reported the other guy to HR once😂
Then I asked my coworker: “Okay, your office is right next to the restroom, which is already questionable. Would you still choose that over GM’s open-office setup and the extra bonus?”
She said, “HELL NO!!! What if I’m about to gas/fart?!” 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
That girl is crazy, I swear. 😂
But honestly, the biggest thing I’ve realized is how much I’ve grown, and a lot of that growth came from GM. Aside from the psychological pressure and a few difficult people, GM was actually a pretty cool place to work.
To be honest, if I hadn’t matured as much as I have, I probably would’ve quit this team within my first 2–3 months. Even me have become surprised at how good I have become at acting.
I worked in IS&T and later on the business side at GM, and I can confidently say that Team Center in IS&T was the best team I’ve ever worked with.
I heard my former boss got laid off too. But if I could rewind my life and go back to that time, I swear to God, I’d trade my $156K salary today for the $87K I was making back then just to stay at Team Center. 😭
Sometimes you really don’t realize how good a workplace was until you leave it. My life right now is like Jon Yoo Gun from Iris. Always one battle after another mhen. So when I come to this chat and I see you guys complaining, am like mhen, they need to move these guys to my team for a month. 😂😂🤣🤣🤣

My wife is moving to Vancouver for her job. Currently we live in Atlanta and I am remote GM employee. I’ve noticed that GM has quite a few remote employees, so I was wondering if anyone knows whether working remotely from Canada is allowed.

I’m planning to discuss this with my manager, but I’d also love to hear from anyone who has taken a similar move or knows someone who has. Is this something GM allows since this will be international move?

I will most likely be out on leave when they give Team GM out. How does it get handled when you’re out?

I left GM about a month ago now. Wondering what everyone that left GM for a new job did with their 401k. Did you roll it over into another Roth or IRA? Keep it in GMs RSP?

Trying to gauge the best recommendations and what others did before deciding to leave the money there or possibly pay another company up to 4.5% to transfer and manage the money.

Thanks in advance!

Without going into too much detail, a former co-worker allegedly left a scathing review of their manager during their exit interview and had previously given (anonymous) poor WOC ratings. What becomes of managers who get unfavorable reviews in these areas? Nothing? PIP?

Could someone shed some light on the difference between the GM Executive Discount and the standard GM Employee Discount?

I’m eligible for the Executive Discount, but while shopping around at different GM dealers, I’ve gotten a lot of conflicting information. Some salespeople have never heard of the Executive program, while others have told me it’s essentially the same as the Employee Discount and that there’s no difference in the actual vehicle price.

A couple questions for anyone familiar:

* Is the Executive Discount actually different from the Employee Discount in terms of pricing or incentives?

* If I qualify for both the Executive Discount and regular GM Employee Discount, can they be combined/stacked, or do you have to choose one?

* If you have to choose, is there any advantage to using the Executive authorization over the Employee Discount, or vice versa?

* Are there certain rebates/incentives that work with one program but not the other?

I’m mainly trying to figure out whether there’s any reason to use my Executive eligibility if I can already qualify for Employee pricing.

I’d appreciate anyone with some insight.

I wanted to share that I’ve been accepted as a witness for the Allison Inquiry, which is taking place on Parliament Hill in Ottawa from September 8–11. I am scheduled to speak on September 9th.

In 2021 my employer, General Motors (CAMI Assembly, Ingersoll), mandated the COVID vaccine. Four days after my second Pfizer dose I had a severe reaction. I had no prior history of arthritis or joint disease. I am now permanently disabled — cane-dependent, dealing with multi-joint inflammatory disease, PTSD and major depression.

GM refused to accommodate me (including a blanket no-cane policy), disrupted my benefits, and later eliminated my position. I have an active human rights case at the HRTO (File #2024-56170-I) for disability discrimination, failure to accommodate, reprisal and bad faith, along with a WSIB claim.

Under WSIB rules, employers are required to file a Form 7 within three business days of learning of a reportable workplace injury. GM was notified of my reaction and medical needs in December 2021, yet they did not file a Form 7 until 2026. When they finally did file, the Form 7 was internally contradictory: they claimed they only “became aware” in June 2026 while acknowledging I had been on STD/LTD/EDB since May 2023, and they stated I was performing regular duties with no lost time while simultaneously recording that I had been off work on disability benefits since May 2023.

The Allison Inquiry is one of the few public forums where vaccine-injured Canadians can speak directly to Members of Parliament. I’ll be sharing my experience there.

What are key products that GM can use NOW to compete against our competitors globally (not just for the US market)?

Fuel efficient compact and mid sized hybrid/PHEV SUVs, low cost EV in emerging markets, reliable and fuel efficient passenger cars, etc.
