To make money you gotta spend money.

 

If Sales, Service and Distribution is facing under-staffing, there is no reason to believe other areas --e.g., Engineering, Product Planning, Pricing, Marketing, etc.-- are fully staffed.

In fact, this might be the underlying reason Stellantis launches keep flopping --Hurricane, Wagoneer, Hornet, Charger.

 

1. THANK F*&^%$ FOR THIS! FINALLY!

2. I've definitely seen an uptick in Stellantis job postings as well as Q/A topics on hiring in the Stellantis subreddit. So that's a good sign.
Anecdotally speaking of course, I've read that CTC staff levels, even after the devastating, layoffs, arestill higher than in the DaimlerChrysler days. And that level of staffing was able to support full lines of product for 3 sub-brands.
Granted, things, and technology are more complex today....but still.......it feels like a current culture and department organizational problem, than a staffing problem.
Pushing off a lot of engineering work overseas doesn't help either. There's good ways to strategically have COEs do engineering in lower cost areas. But that all needs to feed back into senior staff and engineers to take that data, review it, prove it out, and then roll it into the product.

It's hard to get a full feel on what working there is like. Lots of comments say GM's culture is trash, but some say Stellantis culture is trash now too. But then many others will say working at Stellantis is wonderful compared to everyone else! So who knows. Because the product coming out of GM (with supposed trash culture) are doing very well in the market.
While the place with "good culture" can't sell or support themselves out of a paper bag.

 

"Servicing" is a very critical word right now.
