craig mack Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Chrysler was sold to Cerebrus the other day. I've worked for Chrysler for over 11 years now and this is the second sale I've been through. Its so nerve wrecking to not know what is going on at your work place and to not know what the future holds. Cerebrus is a private equity firm. And the rumors are that they are going to sell us off in pieces. I ussually dont believe rumors but I cant help but think what if!!! When Daimler bought us they said we had to be "global" to survive. Now we went back to just like we were before, just owned by someone else. The only thing I like is we are back to being an American company (no more Germany). The state of michigan is in a bad spot economically and I hope this doesnt make it worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they a part of Chrysler or Daimler or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
