RIP Sergio Marchionne. You seem to have been a legend in an increasingly cookie cutter corporate world

Man worked 24/7 died at 66. Talk about balancing a busy life with exploring life. May he rest in peace indeed

D2, that’s great to hear. He is one of the CEOs I’ve admired most. As a car guy and former FCAU/RACE shareholder, I can say that I admired the way he balanced the bottom line with great products. It is encouraging to hear that he was exactly what I thought he was - a reasonable guy who thought outside the box, worked hard, and created opportunity for others. Often when famous people die others talk about their less attractive qualities, but with Sergio they were already apparent (extreme honesty, lack of political correctness/social niceties). These were nowhere near as unattractive as, say, those of Steve Jobs, and ultimately a part of why he was so beloved among his observers

It’s so true, but, it sounds like what he did was awesome and that he had fun with it. Hopefully he doesn’t crash his 599 GTB in heaven

He gave me my career! RIP ❤️

@D2, is there a story to that?

Yes there is! My very first real job after school was at Chrysler/ fiat. Got to meet Marchionne a few times when I was there. He was a tough man and so charismatic!
That job opened up doors for me in the consulting world.

Any Bridge Engineers/Structural Engineers in here? I got my PE this year and have 5 YOE in TX + an MS. What sort of raise would you expect for receiving your PE working in a consulting firm? I am EOR on a number of structures in development, I manage EITs and Drafters (within projects; I'm not a supervisor), and am doing a lot in general. I'm at 78k currently, which is apparently still in the upper range of EIT salaries per a job posting in CO. I'm thinking of 15% (5% merit, 10% PE). Any ideas?
