Why not to insult your former boss, or your cars

He tried to say a smart remark....by comparing both of VAG's auto-brands.
and wasn't enough PC( politically correct) to say something less "insulting"

Actually, I find it to be livable. I mean there is the problem with being constantly nagged about giving your maids a raise, and having to walk all the way to my ferrari un-assisted, but it could be worse. I could be French....

Yep, he was absolutely right. He just wasn't in a position to say it.

That's the problem with every large company. You are may not criticize the power-base - even if they make mistakes or are idiots.
In other words - you have to spend your life playing to the egos of those in charge, not improving product and marketing.

Public criticism of Piech – the man many credit with a revival of the VW/Audi brands, the nephew of Ferry Porsche and still the current chairman of VW's supervisory board – was quite simply a bumbling, career limiting move.

You're too fucking ignorant and stupid to be French. Plus you have no manners or style. No worries there.

Maybe I formulated what I meant to say a bit wrong. I understand what you mean, but I meant to say that he shouldn't have said it to the journalists.
I think in large companies such as VAG criticism is possible, but the key is not to vent it outside the company. In addition the criticism has to be in line with your own task with the company.
