Wagoner might need to get out for G.M. to get bailout
G.M.'s gain may be Chief Executive Rick Wagoner's loss.

Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.

Seems like Wagoner inherited GM problems, rather than having created them.
ReplyDeleteHe's had them for a long time, though. Mullally has the excuse that he just got there a couple years ago.
ReplyDeleteThe Rick has been at GM his entire career. He has contributed to the current state more than other current GM exec. If GM had a board of directors that were were anything he would of hit the road years ago. The Rick and his generation of leader at GM only know how to lose market share/profits ect. So long.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dodd, but only if the Senator from Countrywide sets an example for Wagoner to follow, and resigns himself first.
