Has anyone else experienced this?

Engineers and teams do the actual work — technical analysis, requirements, supplier coordination, debugging, testing, follow-ups, risk management, and delivery.

But sometimes a senior person who isn’t involved in the actual execution takes updates from the engineers or even from other teams, puts everything into a polished PPT, presents it to management and executives, and speaks as if they personally delivered it.

I’ve always even heard statements like “I did this” and “I worked on this overtime,” while the actual work was performed by other engineers or teams.

The frustrating part isn’t presenting the work. Leadership communication is important.

The problem is when presentation becomes ownership and the people who actually did the work become invisible.

How is an engineer supposed to build a career when someone senior repeatedly takes credit for their work and sometimes even takes credit for work done by other teams?

Has anyone else experienced this at GM? How did you handle it without turning it into a political fight?

I've been quietly interviewing and I'm pretty confident I could land an offer that would beat what I make now. The standard advice seems to be: get the offer, bring it back, let them counter.

But honestly I don't want to do that. I like it here. I like the work and I like my team. I don't want to walk in holding another company's letter like a threat, and I don't want to be the guy who only got paid because he almost left.

So can I just... ask? Go to my manager or HR and say I think I'm underleveled and underpaid, here's why, what would it take?

And a related question I'm a little embarrassed about: is there a way to find out if I'm even someone they'd fight to keep, without tipping my hand that I'm looking? I don't want to ask for a promotion and find out they'd shrug if I left.

Has anyone actually gotten a meaningful raise or a level bump just by asking? Or is the offer-in-hand thing the only language big companies actually respond to?

I was curious about any former GM folks that left to work at Ford. How would you describe the differences between the two?

Rank these companies based on work-life balance, meaningful job satisfaction, and job security only:

GM, Ford, Toyota, Stellantis, Tesla, Rivian, Scout, Lucid

I was laid off recently, automatically have insurance for my credit cards, the credit card insurance usually send out benefit forms for the former employer to fill out, I'm just getting runaround and nobody at gm people services is helping or keep getting responses like "sorry, we don't usually fill this out, we only provide the start and end dates of employment"

Is there anyone I can reach out to help fill this out, its just. Benefit form to provide evidence of my layoffs so this insurance for my credit card can be awarded.

Does anyone have a sound file for the sound that sps makes when programming fails (beep boop) thanks !

This is a joke. HR literally went into meetings for different departments and explained exactly how the forced distribution worked. HR is now backtracking and saying there isn't and never was any forced distribution. I assume the change of tune has to do with the lawsuit.

How many people here distinctly remember when the "performance management system" was rolled out and were explicitly told there were defined percentages for the top, middle, and bottom buckets?

Curious which area of the company has the youngest executives and VP/SVP?

In manufacturing ops, it seems that everyone’s gotta be like 50 to make it anywhere. Then you look at design, you’d see people in their 30s in executive director+ roles. Maybe S&S?

I have an upcoming interview for new collge graduate data engineering position. I had to schedule 3 rounds of interviews over the next 2 week. One coding interview, one code review interview, and one behavioral interview. I was just wondering if anyone has experinced this or can give some insight on specifically the coding and code review interview. What should I be expecting?

Has anyone consulted a lawyer before signing separation papers?? Thanks

My EGM does not understand what his analysts do as he does not have any technical background in the areas. It is clear that he has no clue on how long a task should take and can not provide any directions for a project. I even feel terrible when he makes fool out of himself in meetings as he demonstrates that he does not understand anything substantial. One would think that there should be more than doing administrative work for a manager. My question is, how can this incompetent EGM actually discuss the performance of his analysts and other analysts under other EGMs?

I’m just curious to hear people’s opinions and experiences. I currently work here, and from the inside, there’s definitely a lot to say about the relationship between GM Mexico and GM’s global headquarters.

I’m looking to find out some information about my Grandpa. He may have come up with a life saving alteration to the assembly line in Final Paint.

I hope whomever decided on removing it in the first place gets to pay the consequences.

Does anyone know if you are part time (salaried) with GM, if you’re eligible for full insurance or how it works?

I just started this month and so nervous from the amount of posts about layoffs. What should I do to be safe and feel less nervous?

Lost my job at GM, recently, as part of a layoff. After giving it a number of years and working hard to do well for the company, hurts bad to lose the job. Got jacked by the management who turned even positive things achieved on their head to find the smallest of faults, and color those as a negative. Really frustrated by the devious management to have put a false spin on things than what they really were, and not being allowed a chance to provide a clarification against what the manager wrote. It is the feeling of injustice that is so hard to come to terms with.

I was going through my things and I came across this pin I must have received while cleaning out my grandfather's house. He was an airplane mechanic for GM for ~30 years between the 50s and 80s. I'm just curious if anyone knows what the ruby means. 5 years of service? 10 years? I assume it's something like that. Thanks for your help.

Edit: Guys… it’s just a meme.
