Suddenly General Motors finds itself in crash and burn mode. Early in 2008, Toyota overtook GM to become the world’s largest car maker (however, a stubborn if not senile GM head office are appealing the ruling on the grounds that they are still making the world’s largest cars). In closing out their year long celebration of 100 years of operation, GM closes said operations all over North America and sends every employee who does not qualify for the usual round of multi-million dollar performance bonuses home for a well earned (and open-ended) vacation without pay.
