Wonder how many Home Depot employees are part of the 47 million without health insurance? Interestingly enough however he helped himself to a tremendous salary and an even fatter golden parachute! Gee thanks Bob for screwing the American people, now he thinks he will do it again at Chrysler, notice his salary states he is working for $1.00 and an UNDISCLOSED additional amount. I have never seen anyone worth over $200 million at exit or over $45 million a year! It is called RAPE of a company, its workers and the American people! He should be jailed not given another job where he can destroy America further. Why does Cerberus Capital Management of New York, a private equity firm not put capital into Chrysler?? My thoughts, get rid of Nardelli hire someone who has ethics and intelligence and the American people get to own a stake in the company and run everything until it is profitable, then prior to any big salaries are paid as they can exist like everyone else on less than $100K a year until the American people are PAID BACK WITH INTEREST!!!

The bright spot? Customer service on the floor at Home Depot, while still not good, is now measurably better post-Nardelli.</p> It’s pretty disheartening that the guy who single-handedly ushered in the deterioration of customer service at Home Depot is now running Chrysler, a company that despite a few hit offerings like the 300, has notoriously poor quality throughout its product line–just look at Consumer Reports.

  The next hundred days for Chrysler will be all about slashing jobs and closing plants. And what better guy to lead the effort than a student of Neutron Jack Welch.

Unfortunately for Bob (and the money people), cost cutting will not work in the long term.  Brand building – which is all about emotion and feelings – is what sell cars.
