Per a friend who is close to the numbers, GM Financial has lower earnings year over year despite having a larger balance sheet and is way below their MTP budget. Layoffs could very well happen there this year.

A month, how much for a family? I was quoted $900 a month outside of GM. What do you guys pay a month?

And cutting down people in Warren. GM has left IT in Randy’s hand and he is taking IT out of Detroit piece by piece. Ireland, why? Contrary to this Ford has its IT centrally and strategically in Dearborn for ever. What do we get in Ireland that we... —  read more
