Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares steps down

Didn't have what it takes to turn that shitshow around, good to see he feathered his own next on the way out as well

Franco whenever would a dud CEO do the right thing by the shareholders and not feather their nest.

Perfect opportunity for you to polish up that resume, apply for the CEO role, and show Stelantis how to do the job properly.

That comment immediately reminds me of people throughout the footy season who complain about the standards of AFL Umpires or NRL Referees, but never actually step up and do the job themselves.

Day 1: Hemi, baby, Hemi!

Click bait title.
But it appears they still aren't relenting with prices and prefer to have stock piled up on yards.

You should have some faith,

I reckon I could easily tank Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge US market sales, plus all the other non-noteworthy shitful companies under the Stellantis banner, nearly destroy them all and then run out the door with my massive payout for my efforts.

The average single mother could do a better job than he did.

Shareholders globally, I am available with 4 weeks notice, to destroy your companies, your share values and collect my huge payout, send me a PM on AFF.

[Sprintey]

Yep, I reckon there's a specialist CEO role out there that deliberately destroys companies, perhaps so other interests can buy them up on the cheap. A good mate managed pubs when we were younger, and he was the guy brought in to turn around the pub after it had detonated due to poor management. Often there were millions to be had in the turnaround for the investors who employed him.

Sounds about right

Hummmm ... the idea of running a business is to actually make money. Any fool can run a company into the ground.

I don't envy the CEO (or senior management) of any company these days. In the past the CEO's job was hard enough with the singular task of making money in a competitive environment. These days, making profit by itself is considered obscene in some quarters without including perpetually shifting (and value shredding) goal posts of ESG and EDI.

One of the things I learnt during my career is that CEO and senior management are continually fighting the 'dark side' of humanity at their workplace. By that I mean the 5% of employees who literally have no morals or ethics or respect for the laws. Instead of spending time making product decisions, or understanding the market place, or improving company finances: I recon that most CEO spend around 50% of their time dealing with problems created by the miscreants and workplace psychopaths.

As Buddy Ryan once said, "If you listen to the fans, you'll be sitting up there with them.'

Same can be said for running a business, methinks.

It's even more fun when the psychopaths get past the screening and get into departmental head or senior management...

Calm down autismo,

I've got no love for CEOs, never met one worth their pay packet, they've all ran the moment it got tough, rather than attempting to turn the tide and keep the ship from sinking, they just cut and run, they've never come up from the coal face or from sales, they've always come in from finance.

My favorite one was the Woolworths CEO who cosplay as store staff in the work uniform, who cracked the shits and bailed on the ABC interview then resigned.

Alan Joyce is another flog CEO who did a number on QANTAS and our tax payers, the latter cost QANTAS 9 figures in fines on the way out, and has fronted senate enquiries.

Spending other people's money and having no accountability when you destroy a company doesn't sound that difficult,

If you think managing people and personalities is difficult, then you must be an engineer, and that explains a lot

[kevino]

Stellantis are closing their Luton Uk plant - same plant where Vauxhall built Vauxhall and Bedford for 100 years

[CyberWasp]

The only occupation where you get a huge bonus for doing a $hit job.

[Sprintey]

Wonder if it will be like Jaguar and they'll continue the insane policies anyway?

Sayonara and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Maybe Mopar in the US will get a reprieve?

[uranium_death]

I think Stellantis and the brands under them are damaged brands
In Australia, every brand under their banner has flopped in the past decade
Most have disappeared

No CEO can completely turn around the bad image of their brands which emanates from the perceived poor reliability of their vehicles.

The CEO is a PR guy. He can't turn a pile of poo into gold.
I would love a Wrangler, but every single site that reviews them cites poor build quality, bad electrics, and general reliability issues. There are fundamental issues that engineers have never fixed, and they won't.

[jpd80]

Strange that Stellantis seemed intent on killing its profitable North American income stream.
Now that China is a bust, they need it more than ever because there’s no way that Stellantis’
manly European lineup can provide the future funding required for all the company’s brands.

[jpd80]

At least Stellantis doesn’t appear to be alone in poor judgment
as VW Group seem to have tripped over it own corporate member.
Between rising costs more strikes and collapsing profit it must look
like the end of time for vehicle brands in Europe

[kevino]

Managing people and personalities is difficult
I did it for twenty years
And I am not an engineer
Tut tut Franco

[kevino]

Agree with you on Joyce
But I didn’t mind Brad Banducci
The prior woolies ceo
Tony Abbott got lost for answers and words on the ABC one night
Not too much later he lost the election and the prime ministers job

[Interceptor]

Interesting to see Tim Kuniskis coming back to the top spot at Dodge/RAM, hopefully he can turn things around.

Looking at Tavares's background and history, a lot of the model range changes in the Chrysler/Dodge/Ram lineup suddenly make sense, continental europeans have no place trying to tell cultures like USA/Australia how to be. The cultural differences are insane.

Ok, as usual, another thread closed thanks to OTT commentary.
