GM demands loyalty and yet they lay off a 38 year employee via email. The guy is an MIT grad who heads the company wide LGTBQ+ employee group at GM.
People don't realize that the Big 3 historically have licensed software or had vendors write it. Ford has decided to write all their own software, even restoring the old train depot in downtown Detroit to attract young engineers.
This is considered by others to be a big and expensive mistake. Yet it has worked big time for Tesla.
GM meanwhile got $20 billion in state tax money to build a battery plant for EV's in Lansing, abandoned the idea and still kept the $20 billion even though it won't now create the jobs it promised. They are proposing tearing down their headquarters, the fabled Renaissance Center on the Detroit river unless the state gives them even more money. RenCen is the most famous building in Detroit's skyline.
