Companies have shown they’ll part with people on the drop of a dime … if they have a bad quarter ….

No pun intended there … only the dime referred to actual ‘change’ in a pocket …

So … when do you change (not the change in a pocket ….)?


Well … look at the signals.

Q2 results are in for most car makers. GM did well, Ford missed their Quarterly Targets (mostly because of problems in quality), and Tesla got hammered (mostly because they haven’t re-designed their vehicles!!! some as long as 8 years, and they tried to move vehicles by slashing prices).

Cars need to be re-designed, constantly … it gives the feeling of something new to the buyer … and there are EV competitors with a lot of great options in the market, especially new plug-in hybrid options. The strategic moves of not re-designing the Tesla models is starting to damage Tesla.

Navigating your career … you’ve got to research the channels of business of your employer.

Bad results usually trickle down to the supply base.

If your employer supports GM … that’s a good place to be this quarter.

If your employer supports Ford … get your antenna up (career antenna).

If your employer supports Tesla … start moving now … get the resume tuned up and start looking.


Companies have made the first move … a willingness to let people go when the results are not there in a quarter … and when the results are not there in a quarter … employees should start doing the same.

Make it a great day, everyone!
