Running on empty in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• General Motors ran a full-page ad in Automotive News (depicted above), essentially admitting to business bungles. Wonder which soon-to-be-downsized GM ad agency produced the gem.
• Sony announced plans to cut 16,000 jobs, including 8,000 regular employees and an equal amount of temp and contract workers. So that means 16,000 more people will be unable to afford Sony PSP stuff.
• The protesting workers at the Republic Windows & Doors factory can go home now, as Bank of America agreed to extend credit to the company. The workers had been fired with only three days’ notice, but they refused to leave without receiving severance and accrued vacation pay. Bank of America took heat for initially cutting off the company’s credit while accepting federal bailout loot. Only in America—or Bank of America.
• Wednesday is A Day Without A Gay, where people are encouraged to show support for same-sex unions by taking the day off from work and avoiding any purchases. The protest will not likely affect the workforces at Mars and Omnicom.
