  7. GM to cut 4,000 more white-collar jobs by year end Yahoo! Link Tue Jun 23, 5:26 pm ET DETROIT – About 4,000 more salaried workers at General Motors Corp. will lose their jobs by the end of the year as the automaker continues to downsize. The company notified its more than 27,000 U.S. white-collar workers by e-mail Tuesday that that it will offer standard severance packages, and employees near retirement age will have the opportunity to retire early, spokesman Tom Wilkinson said. Some involuntary cuts will be necessary, Wilkinson said, as GM tries to shrink its U.S. salaried work force to around 23,500 by year's end. The automaker is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and has received about $20 billion in loans from the U.S. government. The Treasury Department's auto task force is overseeing its plans to restructure and emerge from bankruptcy as a leaner, more competitive company. Wilkinson said the Treasury Department has approved the retirement offers and severance packages. He would not give an estimate of how much the packages will cost the company. "We were able to do this because it's a cost-effective way to get these reductions," he said Tuesday. GM already has reduced its salaried work force by more than 2,000 so far this year. The company started 2009 with about 29,650 workers, Wilkinson said. Workers who agree to leave the company will get standard severance packages of two weeks' pay for every year of service, up to six months of pay, Wilkinson said. For those near retirement age, there are packages that will let them retire early with benefits, he said. Involuntary cuts will be made based on performance, skills and length of service, Wilkinson said. Workers have been told to reply to the latest offers by Aug. 3. The company plans to finalize who will be cut by Oct. 1, he said. Cuts will vary by department, with some seeing fewer than others. For example, electric vehicle development, which the company is banking on for future sales, would be fewer cuts than other areas, Wilkinson said.

  9. I think it is online somewhere. He is going to shoot a roll for the Kodak museum. Unfortunately, Kodak was not ahead of the curve when it came to certain things. It's funny how Kodak and Xerox are from the same city and they never did any integration.

  22. http://news.aol.com/article/man-with-0-lic...ticketed/530597 (June 17) -- Tom Feddor racked up 170 parking ticket notices in the last two years -- but his car was not even present at the scenes of the alleged infractions. Skip over this content Feddor is not a rogue city driver. He's the holder of a unique license plate number that became the target of a Chicago Department of Revenue glitch, the Chicago Tribune reported. It turns out parking attendants had been using the number 0 as a test case for new electronic ticketing devices. They had no idea that 0 was an actual assigned plate number nor that it belonged to Feddor and that he was receiving the phony tickets. Low license plate numbers are typically reserved for state VIPs, but Feddor's 0 plate is a family heirloom. The plate number has been in the Feddor family for almost 40 years, originally assigned to Feddor's grandfather in 1971 for special service to then-Illinois Secretary of State John Lewis. When the deluge of parking tickets began, Feddor assumed an Illinois higher-up had launched a campaign to get his plate number. But when judges advised him to change his plates as the mistaken tickets began piling up, Feddor was not interested. According to the Tribune, the 39-year-old realtor enjoys having a lower plate number than the governor. The city is taking measures to ensure registered plate numbers are no longer used for test cases. Feddor will receive refunds on any mistaken tickets he has already paid. For the full story, read the Chicago Tribune.
  23. Can't anybody take a joke anymore? You know, there are a lot of things people post about on here that I don't specifically like, yet I do not complain about (except politics when they invade a thread that was good) This is as much a junk thread as "what car is the ugliest"
