No kidding. I was doing work at Pepsi headquarters in Plano, TX one time as an outside vendor. I ate lunch in their cafeteria, and made an "Can I get a coke" joke. With the reaction I got, you'd think I said, "I have a bomb under my coat."

I'd simply fire anyone that flat stupid.


Wow... here's one of'em... the kind of American the rest of the people point their finger at.
How retarded is this? Nobody should be able to tell me what car I have to drive...

Er... your profile says you're in Canada... if that's the case, yes we do point our fingers at you and laugh. 😉 Nobody is MOST of the country cares what kind of car you drive. Some people may laugh at you for driving an American car actually. :Q

But it's Chrysler's plant and Chrysler's parking lot, and if they want to let the employees who drive Chrysler cars park closer to the building, good for them. 🙂

You may be semi- retarded.🙁

If you were working at Burger King,and you brought McD's food to lunch;
do you think the boss would be happy?

In the 1970s and early '80s, when Chrysler was experiencing layoffs, Koors said his father, also a Chrysler employee, would describe foreign-made vehicles that were flipped upside down if parked in the company's parking lot.

"It's not about American made or union made, it's about our company," he said. "Drive what you build if you want your company to survive."




 
If you started at the company and already had a newer car, I can see not driving a Chrysler. But if you already work there, and are buying a brand new car, it makes sense to buy what your company makes. No sense giving money to your competitors.
 
Fvcktards. God damned stupid policy if you ask me. Why anyone would work there let alone buy one of their sh!tty cars is beyond me...:roll:
 
why is it so hard to be loyal? as much as i hate japanese cars, if i were offered a job by Toyota or Honda you can bet your @ss i would drive that brand.

if Ford offered me a job, i'd drive a ford. if Yugo offered me a job, i'd probably turn it down. 😉

2. Sounds smart

1. It's never smart to buy a Chrysler.

2. It's never smart to buy a Dodge.

Sounds reasonable to me. If your employees don't have confidence in your products, why should anyone else?

If you were on a diet and worked at McDonalds should you be fired because you don't eat their crappy food for lunch?

If I don't want to drive a crappy car that breaks down all the time I should have that right. Like 3 or 4 thousand employees buying a different brand car is going to have ANY impact on Chrysler's bottom line. Morons they are!!! MORONS!!!

:roll: I would bet my family has owned 4 dozen DC products and we have never had a dud, ever. I myself have owned 8 without any problems that i haven't caused.

I worked in the rental car industry for 6+ years. I think I have a little more experience with American junkmobiles than you or your family...or your entire town for that matter.

My experience > you and your family.

Gee... support the company who provides your paycheck. What a novel idea.

It's a fine line though. Some people sign on expecting a paycheck for their hard work and want to leave it at that. Others expect to have to support the company via other means. The two eventually clash and you get this crap.

Supporting the company you work for is commendable at best, but that does not necessarily mean that buying from a competitor is treasonous.

Hell, if you put forth your best effort for the company you work for, they shouldn't have any right to criticize any personal traits that might be disagreeable.

actually, your experience works against you.

sure, if you see 10,000 vehicles you are more likely to encounter lemons than someone who only encounters 25 vehicles of the same make.

however, in realy life, most of us never own more than 30 to 40 cars in our entire lifetime. and if i didn't get stuck with a lemon, guess what, the car is ok. it's fine.

We had a plymouth reliant (what a name, heh) and a Dodge Aries K car. Both were huge pieces of dung.

Wrong, I was able to directly compare similar numbers and classes of cars from different manufacturers. Toyota, Ford, Dodge/Chrysler, Pontiac, Buick, and Chevy. Mostly compact, midsize and fullsize cars but I can tell you that the Toyota's were almost never in the shop for any reason while the American cars had a myriad of problems of different sorts.
 
YES YOU ARE RIGHT I'M PRETTY SURE I SAW IN THE CONSTITUTION WHERE A COMPANY CANNOT MANDATE WHERE YOU HAVE TO PARK ON THEIR GROUNDS!

That's an excellent argument, Goose.
It's not realistic though.
If your Mom were selling shoes, would you buy them from the guy on the corner?
What if the corner guy's shoes were a little better? What if they were a couple bucks cheaper?
There's right, and then there's bullshyt. There's no line here that's skewed.
If you work for a company that produces cars, that's the car you should drive. Anything else is taking food out of your own mouth. Even if it's not treason, it sure as hell isn't very smart.
There's very few principles left in people these days. This is one sensible principle that's very easy to stand for. Even if *gasp* it means giving up something else we might want.
People have given of themselves selflessly in the past. That's why we have the opportunity to act selfishly today. If there's to be anything left for our kids, somwhere along the way we're going to have to give selflessly of ourselves.

Can I get an Amen on that, caveman?
