You are probably missing out on all of those comments that are dismissed because they are just that bad. Some get through because the OP for a comment doesn't dismiss them but the ones going directly to someone like Matt isn't going to be allowed through. Just because their is a semblance of an open forum on the FP

The museum's operating costs are not paid for by the city, they are mostly funded by a millage from the surrounding counties. The museum is at a net positive, financially. Selling the art would eliminate those revenues, and then it would cost us money to keep the museum open. With increased operating costs, the museum

Except the core Detroiters don't want the art sold because they are fully aware that the sale actually won't provide them with a better quality of living.

More importantly, this SHOULDN'T BE NEWSWORTHY.

She was in HR only briefly.

Hopefully someone who understands that more goes into a product than "as cheap as we can get away with" will make sure that "Old GM" becomes "Dead GM".

Mayer gets scrutiny from the press that the men never got. And if her "lean in" thing is any indication, expectations of women are still very different from men.

Thank you, Aaron. It's nice to see one of the authors publicly calling people out for their bullshit.

Did you miss the part about Akerson's wife getting diagnosed with advanced cancer, which is why he decided to leave earlier than he intended?

I know you're coming at this from an honest, well meaning place, but it really does suck that people's first assumption about a newly promoted woman is "because she's a woman I question her qualifications." That questioning used to be rationalized by "women aren't as smart/hardworking/ambitious" and now it's "PC

If you can't find enough qualified women/people of color, you aren't looking hard enough/developing enough of them internally.

Would you be making the same comment if they'd announced a man taking the top job? No one ever says "as long as he's qualified." Unless they're talking about a black man, and this kind of thing is almost always said about women. It's totally understandable, though, because no white guy ever got a job he wasn't utterly

I'm certain that a multi-billion dollar a year company that is publicly traded would put an unqualified person in the CEO position solely because she lacks a penis. Yes, sounds totally right.

Are you equally as judgmental when any man gets appointed CEO of any company and do you doubt their credentials versus whether they are just golf buddies with others on the board? Of course everyone wants a qualified CEO, but it appears you're only questioning her abilities because she's a woman.

She's the first woman to blah, blah, blah... That should mean absolutely nothing. By pointing this out actually is actually sexist.

If she was named CEO for the sake of having a female CEO, then PC has crossed the line.

She has a degree in electrical engineer from Kettering, which is basically GM University.

Good to see a woman breaking the glass ceiling, but it's also nice to see a career employee rise to the top.

I doubt we'll be seeing much of that in the future given the current business environment.

Given you were in a "good" area and got robbed makes me think you were in one of the "shopping" districts for the criminal element. Just like in Oakland, CA, the ne'er-do-wells in the bad neighborhoods go to the nicer neighborhoods in the hills to do their "shopping".

Most of the people who say bad things about Detroit have not been to Detroit.
