    So make up for these costs, GM will be raising the cost of their products even more which they can not sell presently because they have become too unaffordable to average Americans causing GM to sell even less. Can you say, "Government bailout" for GM again, after of course top management is well taken care of!!!

    Job security? Where was my job security in April when I received an early Saturday morning call along with 500 other of my coworkers just days after a townhall meeting saying no layoff are coming?

    Un fucking believable. They didn't have a penny to share with all of their employees…but now they magically have 10 billion to manipulate the market with? And are increasing their dividend?!? Corporate America is broken. Full stop.

    Translation…We are in trouble as a company, and need to assure that our top management, (myself included) and top shareholders are protected.

    If you've watched Barra's career since she was a product manager at GM, you know she was never the right person for the top job. Some CEOs are appointed and praised during a market recovery, when a flock of parakeets in the c-suite could do no wrong. And the influence of these CEOs is a lagging indicator, often not well known until tougher challenges inevitably come. They can steer a company into an inevitable ditch, but by then are sitting on a boatload of cash and ready to retire to a tropical island. This is why CEO pay gets a deserved bad reputation.

    She has one job and that is to make the stock price higher while she is ceo. It's how she is paid so it's her only concern. She will leave gm rich and they will have made no progress in manufacturing electric vehicles like she promised.

    My prediction, Mary Barra will sell her stake in GM shortly. Classic pump and dump scenario.

  22. @user-lb4yy7vi2t

    Mary has that forced smile. Time for share holders to jump ship.

    The stressed look on her face says it all.

  24. @davidbudd2624

    December 17, 2023 at 3:40 am

    For a company as deeply in debt as GM, the idea of a stock buyback (which reduces precious common equity) by a company which many believe will be filing for bankruptcy within a decade is not only incomprehensible but insane. If GM then begs for a bailout (funded by taxpayers) we will have witnessed a failure accelerated by preferential treatment for shareholders at the expense of taxpayers. Does anyone else smell that distinct smell of mackerel? This is an example of abusive behavior by management, the board of directors and the federal government. Don’t do it Mary!!

  25. @Studmuffin_

    The worst thing to ever happen to General Motors is Mary Barra.

  26. @gjsprophet5422

    December 17, 2023 at 3:40 am

    Earlier this year, GM received $2.5 billion to aid in the Ultium battery development. And now there is money for stock buybacks? The purpose of the stock buyback is to prop up the price of GM stock which is one of the metrics used in determining Barra's bonus compensation. Enough said.

    Translation – we on the board feel it is important that the share price reflects our leading place in the auto industry
    and to be best placed for the boards upcoming major decisions to lock in the wealth of talent and diversity that will see our gains reflected in society by our patronage of things we feel important going forward and to maximise those gains into material real world assets that assure security and a standard of living for all. ..( Cough )

    during the strike they said we can't afford labor we must retain liquid assets for future EV……strike cost 1 billion….stock buy back 10 billion…..big corps milking the government and dirty play in the market is why everyone hates big business!!!
