Thanks Bill. I am actually applying for jobs now and was amazed at what was available in the local governments. I mean more than half the jobs I was checking out paid 70k and up - for jobs that I would say were worth maybe 40k. Seems like the gov't jobs are where it's at. I just got moved to another dept today and I am not at all happy about it. My performance is high and my bosses recognize me and put me into a hard position to "straighten things out" because they know I will. Sad thing is even with good intentions they can never reward me for doing this the way the company is today. I'm happy to have a job, but really I am getting burned out by GM and how we manage. I hate going to work everyday worried and I've already relocated to keep my job due to plant closings - gets very old and hard on family. I need to get a nice stable job outside GM. Sorry to ramble on, but while I support my company I have come to realize that they are failing me.
After all this bank, auto and who knows what bailouts are over I think the American people need to demand a "plan" from the government on when they are going to turn around!
