I agree with you.
What does this have to do with GM layoffs you ask? I think people deep down love our industry and genuinely want to talk and discuss what is going on with it. Even though it is a site for fired employees, I like the the opionions of other good, bad or indifferent. This is a good site to hear how people feel and think and it seems to have become more than just a layoff web site. Let's face it we have alot of passionate people in our business and talented smart people, I like the interaction and always have even when I worked at GM, boy I miss those discussions. What is happening is different from all the previous shake ups and down times and it will be damn interesting to see how this takes shape in the end. I don't like being separated from the industry I love it s---s, right now it's very difficult to find decent employment for allot of us.

Doesn't matter because she is paid fat stacks O cash. She could care less.
Would it not be ironic if China after enough time, says thank you for building all these wonderful automotive plants, thank you and now get out. Venezuela 2.0. MB didn't see it then, and with a country that is kind of known for pirating and stealing intellectual property, it could be an act of Karma coming back around all over again.
GM sells more cars in China than the US. If you don't like globalism you shouldn't work for a global company.
The predicted economic pain wasn't when the Brexit vote occurred, but when Brexit was carried out.
Brexit hasn't happened yet.
The auto plant shutdowns are just a taste of the future.
Ah, the political class with their very own lap dogs otherwise known as the mainstream media are at it again. Tell me, what happened to the predicted economic collapse in the UK when Brexit passed? Besides, what does this have to do with layoffs at GM. Face it, globalism didn't live up to the promises it made. I am old enough to remember when they promised us that sending manufacturing jobs overseas was a good thing and we would have higher paying service industry jobs. How did that work out for us?
