> You think the four departed executives haven't already texted senior engineers saying, "let's talk in the next couple weeks"? Maybe they have and I'm sure there are some very attractive offers on the table there.. But I don't think that BMW treats its engineers badly either. For a german (bavarian) engineer, working at BMW is a badge of honor, while the Chinese "Future Mobility Corp" is still a wild shot in the air. So while some will try the greener pastures at the new startup, most will probably not be swayed. Again, wild speculation from a non-german non-engineer, please correct me if I got it wrong.
