A study was later made and published about these "alienated workers"; it is a difficult, painful read! Posted on: 2012/6/25 11:50

Everything else was bad management choices coupled with a shrinking luxury car market. But I digress.... Posted on: 2012/6/25 16:08

He was hired from GM. Guess what was on the receiving end of that program. Posted on: 2012/7/12 17:19
