Corporate excess as well as being out of touch with what is really going on in the trenches. That's my opinion from the inside and the outside. By the outside I mean anyone that has come to GM for a meeting sees nothing but excess. I have friends that work in the supplier industry and they are always saying to me what is going on with people just sitting around outside at the VEC building(new 6 story building in Warren) in the middle of the afternoon? Aren't they supposed to be working? They run into guys making well over $100,000 a year and drive company cars, have gas cards, cell phones and are always late to business meetings and are unprepared. But yet we are understaffed and overworked in my department. So what do they do? Let's layoff more people! They need to get in touch with us and communicate. We are trying to get things done without the manpower we need. Sorry you physically can't do it when you are 4 people short on each shift!! Projects don't get done on time safely, effectively, and in the way they want your test data to turn out, if you can't deliver on the things I just mentioned. Get rid of the cushiness at the top and give something to the little guys who put in the endless hours in the test labs! Whew!!!! I'm done.
