With as much scrutiny as GM is under, I doubt he'll be leaving with any huge sum of money.

His severance package was negotiated long ago as a part of his contract. He will do just fine for himself.

See my post above...apparently contracts don't mean anything anymore.

I hope he expects outrage if he gets a fat lump sum of $$$.

He is rich and about to get richer, would you care what the public thought? I am sure I would cry the whole trip on my private jet to Aspen/Miami/Yankees opening day/Paris/where ever the hell else I felt like going. But I would be over it right after that. lol

No I wouldn't...but I bet there's going to be a **** storm when his severance amount is release.

The problems at GM didn't start under him, the problem was more about the lack of change while he was at the wheel. GM has had marketing problems for a long long time. They got things started in the right direct the past several years by introducing exciting cars to the market and even dared to go out on a few limbs with design while invading the traditional German and Jap markets, especially pointing at the Germans.

GM hasnt had great cars like it has now in years, and its because of Rick via Lutz to make it happen.
The irony is that GM is making the best cars not only in its history, but some of the best cars in its class, yet the sales numbers are the worst in years.

Because GM couldn't market free $100 bills. lol

Yeah, marketing, internal managment, and some other problems kept it in trouble. I hope Chap11 fixes that....

I think I have seen more ads for GM vehicles in the last month and a half than I have in the last 2 years. The most amazing part is that not all of them are for Chevy trucks any more.

I hope it works out, but at the same time I can't say I am a fan of what has come out about what they have planned.

I saw an ad for an Escalade vs Mini. I laughed.

He's been the fall guy for a while now, but GM is bigger than whatever footprint he ever had. O well happy retirement.
