As you learn more about business, you will discover that companies which blame their workers for management mistakes are experiencing their death throes. You naively believe that GM will find salvation by moving to China or Brazil where they will have a new group of workers to blame for their failures. This has already been tried. GM opened a Chevy plant in China and experienced dismal sales. Those buyers interested in what a Chevy offered, usually purchased an identical Cherry, produced a short distance away by GM's Chinese partner. No doubt GM's first instinct was to blame their American factory workers, who were thousands of miles away when GM created this fiasco. Resulting from decades of intellectual laziness, their second instinct was probably to blame their lazy and duplicitous Chinese workers for GM's problems. Its curious that Toyota does not compete with their Chinese partner making Tooda Silicas and VW's Rabbit plant doesn't face competition from their Chinese partner producing VX Pandas. Indeed GM faces the same problems they have in the US everywhere they choose to operate. By contrast, Honda and Toyota experience the same success in their American plants that they do elsewhere. It is fashionable in some circles to mindlessly repeat GM's attempt to blame others for their history of failures. I can guarantee you, that if Chevron was ever required to manage GM, Chevron would fire almost the entire management staff at GM starting at the top. Once a company develops a culture of excuses and finger pointing rather than performance, you have to eliminate everyone creating that culture because it interferes with the ability of the workers at that company from doing their jobs effectively. .
