Online Marketing, General Motors, and My Old Job

Ryan    Uncategorized     GM, Rick Wagoner

Today, Detroit’s Big 3 as they are so called are facing the toughest times of their lives. Asking Congress for a whopping $34 billion dollar loan is no easy task, but coming from General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford… Come on! That being said, I think I need to give a shout to my ex-coworkers at Cobalt who’s jobs and careers lie in the outcome of this decision as well.

As I’m torn between what I believe the government should do, the loss of jobs to hard working individuals is an incredibly horrible outcome. Dealerships are going under, car sales are in the dumps, and people are losing jobs. At the same time, I really think Rick Wagoner needs to take a minute look at where he’s standing and move so that someone else can come in and clean up his mess. Please… get smaller, increase cash, hire competent executives, and find a way to get out of the red. Don’t focus on what you can and can’t do.. do what you have to. Otherwise, you’ve failed as a leader/manager. Your business has already failed.

Sorry for that.

Peace
