Long story short, I took a "buy out" offer that they've been offering salary employees since GM is broke. So, I took the offer of $103,081.16 to "leave" without benefits. I got a job in Atlanta with Panasonic Automotive making more than that a year. So, I'm like

All week I've literally sat here waiting on the mail man to deliver my big fat check right. I'm like

when the envelope shows up today. I'm expecting $103K check and to go to the bank. What do I get:

"Dear Mr. XXXXXXXX,

Enclosed is the first INSTALLMENT of $1,718.01 of the aformentioned employment settlement."

Long story short, I kicked the mail box right off the damn pole. Come to find out after the fact, the "buy out" is paid in installments over 5 years. They didn't cut me one fat check like I was told by my boss. I asked him what happens if I accept and he told me that they'll cut me a check for the buy out and I'll be on my way. NOBODY in my dept., including me, bothered to read the 3 pages of fine print in the buy out contract. So, now I'm stuck here with my dick in my hand and I gotta wait for my cash every month for the next 5 years. Sure, I still have a fat paycheck coming from my new job, but still..... I was thinking Mercedes Benz S550 when I got to Atlanta. This isn't gonna stop me from moving, cause today was my last day with GENERAL MALFUNCTION, but still... I WANT MY FVCKING MONEY

FVCK GM!

at least this way you won't be paying 52% in taxes... most buyouts are at the discretion of the employer to a max of 5 yrs..

good luck in your new career..
