I'm wondering if the leadership is aiming for GM to be more competitive with regard to EVs or not? Sometimes it seems that they don't know what they are doing.

Check out the column Mark Ruess wrote in the Detroit Free Press. He’s getting roasted pretty good in the comments.

I am not sure whether the leadership has less faith in the employees or the employees have less faith in the leadership. As for me, I don't trust them at all, but I'm curious if, and when, you lost trust in this leadership?

They can't be good for business.

Is there any truth to rumors about July layoffs? I've been hearing more about it lately, so it'd be nice to get a confirmation either way.
