General Motors Asking Employees to Quit With Voluntary Buyouts

The Joe Biden economy strikes again.

General Motors is asking employees to take a voluntary buyout. It’s a way of cutting jobs without technically laying off any workers.

How many of these workers do you suppose voted for Biden and Democrats?

ABC 12 in Michigan reports:

GM said no layoffs. Now it’s asking workers to quit

General Motors said in January it would save $2 billion without planning any layoffs. But on Thursday it said it was looking for workers to leave voluntarily.

In a regulatory filing, the automaker said it was looking to save costs through attrition and a voluntary separation program in which eligible employees would get a lump sum payment and other severance based on how long they worked at the company. The buyouts would cost the company $1.5 billion before taxes this year.

The voluntary separation program will be offered to all U.S. salaried employees with at least five years of service and global executives that have been with the company for at least two years, a GM spokesperson told CNN. In a statement, the company said that employees are “strongly encouraged to consider” the program.

“By permanently bringing down structured costs, we can improve vehicle profitability and remain nimble in an increasingly competitive market,” a GM spokesperson said in a statement.

The news follows the elimination of hundreds of salaried worker jobs earlier this month. A person familiar with the plans told CNN that those job cuts would affect a few hundred white-collar employees globally.

GM has 167,000 employees globally, with 124,000 in North America. That includes more than 42,000 members of the United Auto Workers union.

Remember the Biden quote about GM from a few years ago?

How quickly things change.

JUST IN: General Motors offers buyouts to “majority of U.S. team.” Employees have two weeks to decide, per letter sent to whole company. #GM #GeneralMotors $GM #BREAKING

Does anyone believe this would be happening if Trump was still in charge?

Kamala Harris Claims Kids Are Suffering From ‘Climate Mental Health’ Issues (VIDEO)

During a recent event in Florida, Vice President Kamala Harris claimed that kids today suffer from ‘climate mental health’ issues.

It’s ironic.

If young people have anxiety about the climate, maybe it’s because Democrats and people in media keep saying that the world is going to end in ten years.

RedState reports:

During Vice President Kamala Harris’s comments at the recent “Aspen Ideas: Climate Conference” in Miami Beach, the veep busted out what I’m sure she thought would come across as pleadingly serious. I mean, check out that look on her face. Professionalism prohibits me from saying something snarky about looking constipated, of course, by I digress. [Ahem.]

Harris told the gathered faithful about her alleged discussion with young Kool-Aid drinkers climate activists who allegedly told her about how they were struggling with “climate mental health” issues. No, really. Ready? Don’t miss the melodramatic soap opera-ish gesturing, it’s awesome.

One of the young leaders was talking to me about climate mental health. I said ‘Tell me what’s going on with your peers.’ Climate mental health.

I said ‘I think I understand that, but unpack it [rolling-eyes emjoji] for me. She talked about how her peers are thinking about it, and one example is whether when they’re ready, could they start a family. Worried about what that would mean. And the stress of it.

They were talking about it in terms of their peers trying to figure out if they’re gonna have to get a job and whether they’re gonna have to make a living, but what can they do and how can they adapt their education that they’re having now to their activism?

Young people today had a much brighter future under Trump than they do under Biden.

If they are leftists, they wouldn’t believe that, but it’s true.
