Corporate layoffs aren't any fun, but 'tis the season.  The majority of big, mature companies rely on them to deliver on productivity so it's a sad reality of the modern day ZBB culture.   
  
 Not the type of thing that's likely to swing stock price either way, but a shitty situation for employees (those who lose their jobs primarily, but also those who remain with an increased workload).  4300 is a lot to cut...

Yes scary. I have a few friends that work in Michigan and are worried about getting cut. At the same time these are people that have 4/5 weeks off and are on Facebook all day. GM has to cut fat somewhere to survive. I’ve heard stories about people that relocated to Michigan and get fired 3 months later.. seems like they would organize the layoffs better. Not sure if this will have any impact on the earnings.
