"Insourcing" doesn't sound like it would be very simple since I don't see what incentive HP has to let the people go to GM.

- csours 12y agoSimple for the employees changing employers; whatever GM did to facilitate the transfer has not been made public.
- domdip 12y agoProbably preferable to layoffs (cheaper, no bad press) if a major project is shutting down and they have nowhere to put them. Also, could have been wrapped up in all sorts of other agreements about termination of contract. This was probably a major deal for both companies.
- c0nsumer 12y agoWith all of the recent layoffs that HP has had, I'm glad I'm no longer there. Working directly for GM feels considerably more secure than HP ever did. As others have said, I suspect it was an easy way to shed a bunch of employees without having to pay severance.
