Pros

My management has been extremely flexible with balancing my work and home life.

Cons

I'm wondering whether or not GM will survive this downturn in the automotive industry.

Advice to Management

The entire management chain at GM does not properly communicate the 'bad news' from the plant floor.

Everyone is afraid that if they deliver bad news to their superiors, their job is at risk.

Therefore, the higher in management you are, the further removed from reality you are.

Find a way to get the honest truth from the plant floor, and you will be able to make decisions that will save GM.
