    VW is a giant company and they're sitting on a giant pile of cash. Anyone that thinks this was going to kill VW is not very bright. This will affect their status perhaps as the wor…

    Just makes me so very, very glad that the right decisions were made by so many people in those trying times. I'm sure there are plenty of individual heroes whose small contribution…

    no. Telecommuting was a pipe dream of the 90s. Some people do it, but at most companies the "butt in the chair employee is best employee" thing still sticks.
