It’s an interesting time. If GM closed it would certainly strengthen the Auto industry in Japan …… which affects me directly as i try desperately to hold on to my job!

Yea your right on the Auto Industry. GM shouldnt even be a company right now. It should go into bankruptcy or fail. No matter how much you pump a dead horse with medicine it’s still dead. If GM or Chrysler failed it would cause a consolidation in the industry which would give other “healthier” auto companies market share allowing them to ride out this downturn. By keeping these “Dead horses” alive it is causing the industry to fail and will keep failing until one or more fails anyway. Politics need to stay out of business.

I think they’re certainly in the shit but what i’m saying is GM and Ford both quoted figures of 45 – 50% downturn in sales for the last 3 months whereas Nissan was only 30% and actually had growth in 1 model … as an example. I’m sure Japan are screwed by other measures though.

At the moment it appears Japan isn’t in as bad shape as many others …. my comparison, things like the auto industry are 20% worse of with sales in the US than the Japanese market.

Recession is everywhere and every country is effected by this. But it is sad to know that Japan is under the influence because it will make a major difference in world economy.

If i do get the arse i’m led to believe there’ll be a nice package to ease the pain. It’s very tough to sack people here so the company does take care of you if it comes to that. i would then have to ride out the remainder of the downtime … living cheap in Australia or maybe kicking back on the beach in Thailand … now that wouldn’t be all that bad would it.
