On GM offers buyout to laid-off workers

ttyl1023 ... Does it really matter what number I come up with? If it is too low you will say that I am just a greedy overpaid auto worker unwilling to suffer for the cause. If it is too high you will say that I am an Extremely Overpaid auto worker if I could afford to give up that much of an hourly wage. It is a win win for you to push your biased agenda. How much do you think a reasonable decrease would be?

Nor were the wages a large part of the vehicle price people paid. Approximately 6% of the vehicle price averaged corporate wide.

In 2005 it fell into the #7 Category over all. Not excluding food and grain products.

Why should the employees take any blame. No one asked me if I would take a pay cut. I would have gladly taken one if it meant I would be working. Let's clarify that , a reasonable pay cut. And if there are any other GMers in here that would also have done so respond with a "yes". Besides the inflated wages you rant about weren't out of line when GM agreed with the union to pay them were they?

"I also enjoy how you critcize the Wallstreet bailout - but feel that it is ok for GM? Kind of like the pot calling the kettle black isn't it?" - ttyl1023

I never said that it was okay for GM. The whole thing is a mess. I am also not going to bite the hand that is feeding me either. The domino effect of wall streets failures caused the GM faltering and the faltering of many other companies. The difference between the auto industry and other companies is the sheer magnitude of the demise of the auto industry. I don't know what the answer is but other than food and grains, what is the largest export of the United States? I would be willing to bet that the auto industry is in the top 5.

As back handed as your wish of good luck to me was, I'll take it. And thank you.

No, almeg... I was super-talented before I worked at GM. I just knew a good thing when I saw it and now that the ride is over, I will take the experience and benefits available to me and then be on my way.

You are absolutely right. I don't even agree with "handing out money to a miserably failing company". I was really angry when wall street got their bailout. Was it for the good of the country though? I think in the long run it was. As far as your claims of overpaid employees and the lagging quality of GM products, it might be best if you researched that a little more instead of buying into the liberal media.

Who said that I had a sense of entitlement. Did I ask for a bailout? Subpay? No. Am I glad that it is available to me? Sure.
