Convette Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Rough day today, 50 contract workers got cut today from design center, I survived the first round. I hope things pick up soon. Makes it tough when you lose 15 billion a quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macrophage Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 GM is buggin, they dont know how to combat the situation of losing dough. Its kinda sad for them because they cant work people here for the chicken change the asians are working for. Theyre probably making cars for .85 cents an hour. no car company in the world can compete with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
