"Who still buys them?"
BYD has taken over the automobile industry on a global scale.
Who still buys them? Everyone. That's why companies like Nissan and VW are going bankrupt.

Finally someone else gets it. Thanks for posting OP. I’ve been trying to explain this to people. Usually I get blank stares and stupid comments like I’ve always done well so I’m not worried. #realitycheck #winteriscoming
Agree with 1ncv. The jobs being eliminated now at SF don't exist at other corporations anymore because they all eliminated busy work jobs 10 years ago. And the majority of the people getting let go in BN won't rush off to the bright lights of the big city. They are older, unskilled for modern corporate demands and complacent. Many actually think they work in IT because their job title says so. But they do little to nothing with actual technological processes. They are the middle business people, the red stapler people who use inane phrases like, low hanging fruit, synergy, 50,000 feet up, and the worst - at the end of the day. Barf. They are the walking cliches in The Office. If they weren't, they would still have jobs. The thought that SF is actually letting people of "quality and experience" go is just something comforting to say to themselves and others so they don't have to admit they have nothing to show for their lives. I'm not saying these aren't good people. They are "nice". I feel bad for the lambs. But complacency is the devil here and SF let them stay ignorant of what true value is. So leadership is to blame because it wasn't hard enough on you, not because it was. SF people bemoaning the layoffs have a right to grieve, and yet if you don't see why you were let go and have no clue and can't understand it, you are the reason why the layoff is happening. Busy work isn't providing value no matter what your manager told you. Your manager was just trying to make sure you didn't stab him/her in the back. Inept managers keep inept employees to stay in control and keep their jobs. It was a giant piss pot basically and senior leadership knew it after ICP failed. And yes ICP was both the fault of leadership thinking their employees could handle it and the employees not being able to handle it and not righting things. If you think leadership is 100% at fault, you're making excuses for yourself and your cohorts.
To all who think this website or anything on the Internet truly represents humanity: It doesn't.
If you want to experience and see compassion and empathy first hand, go volunteer! This is not the place to make assumptions about humanity. This page is like a dark alley where hobos hang out and bum smokes and eat greasy food with dirty fingers while random people going to their jobs are having conversations as they walk in and out. If you're going to judge humanity by this thread or really anyone the interwebs, you will ALWAYS be disappointed. #realitycheck
