Ask HN: Anyone in GM IT scared about the layoffs?
I've heard they're cutting 15% of salaried positions in NA and 25% of executives but they haven't said if this will specifically affect the tech folks in GMIT.
- Bucephalus355 8y agoI would recommend checking https://thelayoff.com https://thelayoff.com. Even if your company isn’t undergoing layoffs it’s still a fascinating source of corporate news. Also if GM is going to outsource their IT, at this stage in American History, such a stab in the back can never be forgiven and they should proceed cautiously. NOTE: I don’t work for GM, just your standard big-tech tech company

- Bucephalus355 8y agoSorry about that post
- pinewurst 8y agoIf my memory serves me right, GM had previously outsourced their IT to HP. In the last several years their ex-HP CIO has been spending big bucks to bring it back in house.
- segmondy 8y agoNah, I know so many people that went to GM's IT, they were hiring like crazy the last few years, developers, backend, mobile, frontend, QA, devops
- richardwhiuk 8y agoThat site is packed so full of adverts and lists like five companies on a page to force you to view more adverts. No thanks.
- zerohp 8y agoI work for a FAANG and not a single post on there for the last 3+ years has any basis in reality for my company.

- rpeden 8y agoFor what it's worth, they seem to be hiring lots of developers at their tech centre in Markham, north of Toronto. I'm not sure where these developers fall under GM's corporate structure, though.
