All the acquisitions and JV under Doug Ober are worst decisions in the corporate sector and he should lead the way not small time employees.
Current GP Denise Johnson has nothing to her credit in her career but leading the charge of Lean management.
Current VP Jean Savage is in her role because of Bill Ainsworth of Progress Rail not because of her capabilities, she knows squat about technology🙈
More money for D. Less workers more profits more bonuses for D. Simple.

Not sure why there isn't more pressure on upper mgmt positions for the idiotic Bucyrus acquisition at the worst possible time, but Cat stock is leading the DOW this year so they are selling the story that they are managing the downturn in the best way possible...unfortunately THOUSANDS of workers are paying for mistakes of those at the top...
