Kevin R. Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Nice savings there. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122748968154052045.html The reason: As part of a drive to cut $15 billion in costs, GM is no longer keeping the 562 clocks in working order, which will eliminate the expense of replacing and disposing of the clock's batteries and the cost of resetting them twice a year for daylight-saving time.

Guest Removed Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 lol At the same time, GM has felt the heat for cutbacks it hasn't made. Last week Chief Executive Rick Wagoner flew on one of the company's corporate jets to Washington to ask for a bailout from taxpayers, a fact that raised the ire of some lawmakers. "There's a delicious irony in seeing private luxury jets flying into Washington, D.C., and people coming off of them with tin cups in their hands," Rep. Gary Ackerman (D.,N.Y.) said. "It's almost like seeing a guy show up at the soup kitchen in high-hat and tuxedo. ... I mean, couldn't you all have downgraded to first class or jet-pooled or something to get here?"
