Hooray for General Motors

37 years at GM, congratulations. Any chance that you will give some of your pension back so that the next generation can have a retirement of bare necessities in their 70's?

Speaking from experience, I sat at the tech center for months totally amazed at the people who found creative places to sleep on company time. Then there were the salaried who went out to lunch for several hours, had sex in the parking lot with people other than their spouse, oh my the experience I gained there was just shocking. If you knew what department I worked in or for whom, I assure you, you would be shocked.

I grin at the comment that we are a minority of "nay sayers." GM stock this quarter hit it's lowest mark in 75 years. I'd say it's more than just a few of us.

Hey I hope that a core of good employees can be salvaged out of this mess, but time's a wastin. We've been fighting the Japanese for some 30 years now, and they overtook the market. What are we waiting on to start fixing things?

I personally cannot afford to invest more time in a failed American industry. It's an embarrassment. We lost.
