Sony Ericsson sees net profits fall 97%, looks to cut 2,000 jobs {Engadget}
Jul 18th 2008 3:52PM "Yeah it's the leadership that often fails a company first, but if you've got peons eating up that much cash with no one buying...well, it's not just the leaders that need to go. Unions may point to ridiculous exec salaries for sympathy, but those GM workers aren't pulling in pennies a year. They're part of the fiscal problem too. "
True, and I do recognize that there is other fiscal resposibility companies, and, therefore execs. must manage; however, in GM's case, the execs. signed on for the ridiculous compensation packages that union workers receive (like full salary for several years to go back to school (however that is defined since some of the reports I have seen/read suggest that they may not even attend school), after which they do not have to return to GM). Also, GM's (and Ford's) execs. decided to continue producing large trucks and SUVs as other manufacturers moved to smaller, more fuel-effecient vehicles, leaving GM's (and Ford's) sales reeling. Just sayin'...

Jul 18th 2008 2:17PM "Instead of cutting jobs at the bottom, they should start at the top. After all, the guys at the bottom did nothing but follow the recommendations of the ones at the top."
No joke. It seems the guys at the top can't figure out the basic law of business failure: me (corporate exec.) = fail. At least Hector Ruiz made it appear that he understood this, although, I am sure he was pushed out. Dell, for example, cuts 8000 manufacturing/sales jobs (there were other reasons for this as well) when Dell's marketshare was slipping to HP to cut costs. Yeah, I'm sure the poor bastards putting PC's together had everything to do with the company's poor performance, not the a-hole who makes more by himself than everybody he canned. Rinse and repeat for GM, Ford, Chrysler, etc.
