If you worked for GM...

[Camino LS6]

...what would your nightmare job be?

And would you do it well anyway?

Any job which is not of being a yes-man or not being a GM lifetimer or one position that seriously wants to change the structure/operation/product portfolio of GM is a nightmare job.

Performance of the job will totally depend on the level of responsibility and power I will have.

[Camino LS6]

Let's assume that you are a mover and a shaker and have been assigned to a task you didn't want, but one that is important.

Blast the fiefdoms and remove subordinates from their comfort zone by forcing them to be responsible and accountable. Half the battle is won there. I know I sound crude there, but sometimes sterner actions are needed.

But that would be a fun job!

Indeed. Are you kidding me.

[Camino LS6]

Okay, I guess I need to lay the scenario out a bit better.

Let's say that you are an assistant to Lutz and he decides to shake things up. He calls you in and gives you a mission that makes you groan inside for some reason.

What would that mission be?

I'd hate to be the guy in the mail room responsible for weeding out the letters from crazy people.

Probably ordering FH birthday cake?

Probably ordering FH birthday cake?

I might enjoy that...

[Z-06]

I might enjoy that...

The cake or the ordering? Possibly can order to make a Chevrolet Zeta cake. That would be fun.

I might have to make him a "homemade special" with some errr... secret ingredients.

Make it spell "R-E-T-I-R-E."

[Camino LS6]

So, no nightmare ideas?

[Z-06]

Ed Welburn's position might be one. The excellent talent of his being wasted in hiding ho hum vehicles through innovating designs and trying to polish Turds.

[Blake Noble]

For me, designing small cars like the Chevrolet Spark.

[Camino LS6]

Cool!

Two good ones so far.

[Justin Bimmer]

Trying to market the Impala as Chevrolet's flagship sedan.

GM Nightmare Job = CEO.

[gm4life]

In charge of working on any small FWD $h! boxes.

[A Horse With No Name]

You all can scream at me but my nightmare is...

Make Buick relevant and exciting. I like Buick and they have built some great cars over the years, but making Buick relevant, given GM's corporate culture, now that's a nightmare.

[capriceman]

I already did it...

welding rear suspensions on riviera's and eldorado's

Chris

Yup!

That's the one I was thinking of. Imabine knowing that you and three co-workers are up for running the re-make of the "core" brands, and you draw the short straw - Buick!

Pure hell.

*chuckles*

Lutz: "Mr. Stevens, you've proven yourself well over the years, so I am putting you in charge of bringing back a storied nameplate for Chevy. But, it will once again be FWD and a relative of the Lumina."

Me: "Holy crap..........................NO!!!!!!!!!!"
