GM Gutting Half Its U.S. Workforce

#10  To be scrupulously fair, many a man has run the company he was given into the ground. Considerably more than women, if only because considerably more men have been given the opportunity. Thqt said, it is an unfortunate side effect of reverse discrimination that too many of those promoted only got pushed up the ladder because of merely physical factors, just as in the old days others got pushed up up for the same reason with equally dismal results.

A pox on all who judge by anything other than ability!

#8  That broad who destroyed Yahoo, Marissa Meyer, was possibly the worst...another one who, some say, worked her way to the top a la Kamala Harris.

Yahoo, with few exceptions, is disgusting anyway, so maybe Meyer didn't ruin it enough.

#7  I want to tie my HP LaserJet Pro 400 to my back bumper, then go on a road trip. Then again, it'd probably fall apart three blocks away.

The biggest wealth transfer in history isn't the Great Society or any of that stuff; it's the price those c*cksuckers at HP charge for printer cartridges.

Thanks, Carly!

#6  Also, the latest female executive to run a company straight into the ground (Yahoo, IBM, Citicorp, etc.)

Don't forget Carlie Fiorina and Meg Whitman at Hewlett-Packard.

#5  General Motors’ South Korea division will offer a similar VSP package, but workers in Canada, Mexico, Europe, and China will not, according to the memo. Whether Barra plans similarly drastic job cuts in those countries is unclear.

Just in case you are contemplating the purchase of a GM car, which I would not advise, check the sticker to see where it was made. Are you furthering the employment of a Chinaman while your fellow Americans get laid off?

#4  So all the EV hype didn't save their sales. What a surprise!

#3  We are likely paying for the VSP.

#2  CEO Mary Barra. Another Bath House Barry brown-noser.

#1  Aren't we so glad our tax dollars went to bailing them out years ago?
