When I spoke to Nissan executives in Japan in March, one thing was clear: The hardest work was still ahead of them. Executives like Chief Performance Officer Guillaume Cartier and incoming CEO Ivan Espinosa told me that, while the beginning of the transition plan was in motion, there was more to come. Unfortunately, it looks like the next phase is starting soon: Nissan will cut another 10,000 jobs, according to reports from Nikkei and Japan's public broadcaster, NHK.
