Current Saturn Employees
Do you think Jill Ladjiak wil continue to be the GM for the Saturn brand? Or anyone else in senior Saturn management for that matter?
I am sure that GM would love to be able to dump these white collar folks on Roger but I don’t think he will be as willing to take them. I think every decision that he makes will be based on “what is in it for me”, which is totally opposite to the way the GM folks think.
If I were Roger Penske, I would interview anyone who is currently in Saturn-land personally that showed any kind of promise for the new venture. If they start spewing “GM-speak” at him about ANYTHING, that would be the end of the line.
People need to understand that Saturn as we knew it is dead. There is a new sheriff in town and he is going to do things HIS way. And if employees, retailers or customers don’t like it, I am guessing that he just won’t care. He knows how to make money at his businesses and that is what he will do with Saturn.
