About the man that ran Home Depot into the ground!

[JR]

This article in the LA Times today offers some excellent advice for the new chairman. It's also the funniest car review I've ever read.

That review is a hoot. I really love reading stuff like that that doesn't pull any punches.

I haven't owned a Chrysler since my minivan tranny gave up the ghost 5 years ago. Guess Nardelli's got his work cut out for him.

Not just bad, but a veritable chalice of wretchedness, a rattling, thumping, lolling tragedy of a car, a summary indictment of Chrysler's recent management and its self-eradicating product planning, all cast in plastic worthy of a Chinese water pistol.

I wish this guy would quit beating around the bush and just tell us what he thinks...

His job interview??

I wonder how is job interview went??

-- So tell us what you know about the car industry?

Nothing but that means I can bring in a fesh perspective and I can cut costs lots and lots of ways and I don't care what anybody thinks about me.

-- So how did your last job go??

Just swimmingly though they did have to pay me just shy of a quarter billion dollars to promise not to come to work anymore.

**You are hired!!**

Anyone would be nuts to buy a Chrysler product.

The man that ran Home Depot into the ground apparently had a good friend. According to the Human Resource Executive, "Dennis Donovan, who stepped down as executive VP of HR for Home Depot in February, earned the top spot on the HR's Elite list (highest paid HR executives) for the fifth year in a row. Donovan earned roughly $5.8 million (last year)."

Donovan was paid 84.5% of the CEO's compensation. Makes me wonder if he is going to end up at Chrysler also.
