How about another one of your posts about how well GM is doing market share
wise. LOL

I have been reading Mike Hunt's letters to the newsgroups for sometime now
and have come to the conclusion that either he is a nut, a liar or he owns
GM stock.

Recent GM news might shut him up for awhile.

It is still sad that people are losing their jobs before the holidays. Shows
true colors of GM. Management over there plain sucks.

It might be better to tell the workers now, before they blow a big wad
on the holidays, than to wait until the credit card bills show up in
January. And nobody is actually getting permanently laid off before the
holidays.The permenent layoffs don't kick in utill next year and beyond
(Federal rules require a 60 day notification for major permanent
layoffs). Plus, GM management is going to have to hash this out with
the unions. And for the 7,000 or so people who are being sent home this
week becasue of the "temporary layoffs" - they get 95% of their regular
pay. So it's not a layoff, it is a paid vacation! Those GM managers
really are heartless aren't they.....

There is no good time to get laid off. Business needs usually determine
the dates. Between union fights, tax rules, and federal employement
rules, the real layoffs won't occurs for months, and if you read the
articles, GM is hoping to carry out the permananet reductions by
offering retirement incentives.

I think the plan goes out 3 years.... it was just an announcement to please
the analysts. They were not impressed. Maybe management will announce
another 20000 cuts next week to see if that helps their stock price.

Why would you want to discuss the logic of how one choose to post with a guy
that even calls himself DIZZY? LOL

Well, he's a top poster, which is a sure sign of stupidity.

Seems to me that nit picking over top vs. bottom posting is the sure sign of
an obsessive compulsive disorder. I'd far rather deal with a top poster,
than a bottom poster who never trims anything.

I think the style of posting should be determined by the context - top,
bottom, in-line, all have their place. I assume you think in-line posting is
OK...right? If so, what's the difference? Sometimes the post is only loosely
related to the original post, and isn't in response to a specific phrase in
the original post. In those cases, I don't see where top posting is such a
no-no. I would agree that it some cases, quoting no text at all is the
correct way to go.

Yeah...The rank and file had NOTHING to do with the demise of GM??

I love it...

Why don't the workers go running to the union and management to give
'concessions' during bad times, the same way they do for contract
enhancements when things are rosey??
