General Motors pushed back the start of a return-to-office plan after facing fierce resistance from employees over its handling of the rollout.
The Detroit-based auto giant rankled corporate employees by announcing in a memo last Friday afternoon that they would be required to work onsite at least three days per week beginning later this year.
But GM executives reversed course in an update to staffers on Tuesday – saying the plan won’t be implemented until the first quarter of next year at the earliest. The company also apologized for the manner in which employees learned of the change.
“We acknowledge that the timing of the message, late on a Friday afternoon, was unfortunate. It was also unintentional,” GM CEO Mary Barra and other executives said in a memo to employees obtained by The Post.

GM employees took to online message boards to vent their frustration, including Blind, an anonymous corporate forum which verifies employees using their professional email accounts.
One worker wrote “General Motors is doomed” in response to the policy.
“So many people were already on the edge of leaving because of low pay and now this ####,” the worker wrote, adding, “they will never retain young talent.”
“Anyone find it interesting last month GM leaders say wfh is new standard and now we are forced to return with no heads up? If they are trying to push us out they are doing a good job,” another worker wrote.

For many it’s the commute. If my wife and l were still working our monthly gas bill would be in the $800 to $1200 dollar range. We were not unique
Mary, Mary quite contrary
Why did you pass the buck?
Somebody on your staff crafted the message you approved and hit send on your command.
Stop trying to be a man.
You’re doing it all wrong.
Men aren’t nearly as cruel as you.
GM lost market share.

Fire them.
I am a white-collar employee for a Beltway Bandit firm. We have been going into the office through this whole thing.
You think General Motors Corp employees would love to get into their Chevy and go to work....
Oh wait, never mind
Jeeze, frikkin’ babies. Good thing they’re not in the military with those attitudes.
I know people who are taking it in the shorts thanks to gas prices.
Some are retiring to save money.
And I mean that only slightly facetiously.
I am not impressed by the so called studies. I am impressed by results. You might be 20% right but 80% wrong.
Auto union workers make better wages than nurses
What a bunch of whiners. With babies like this, GM IS doomed.
I think they are doomed anyway, I give them maybe another 10 years until they are broken up.
“Fire them”
On one condition—you need to locate and hire the replacements.
Good luck!
