Senior Leaders smart hard working, but too weak to mandate 3 day RTW from LL6 and below
Outside of team rooms, LL6 and below level people come to office for an hour or two for badge swipes and then leave. LL5 and higher level tend to be in office all day. LL6 level stay dis-connected from work place, delegating upwards the decision... — read more

Ford makes F-150s
There are also, to a lesser degree, SUVs and Mustang. All Ford has to do to drastically improve the bottom line is to not waste the F-150 money on fads and startup envy. To make it easy, just do whatever Toyota's doing, but with F-150s and Mustangs... — read more

Ford Europe Sales at 2% – But Where’s the Accountability?
It’s staggering to see Ford Europe’s market share dwindle to just 2%, yet no meaningful accountability is taken—particularly in Germany, where headcount remains largely untouched. Despite the performance collapse, the job security there seems almost... — read more

FNV4
i’ve seen tons of projects flame out, but this one feels like a total epic fial... It hits differently when you realize the same mistake is happening right before your eyes. I poured my heart into those tech meetings, believed every promise, and... — read more

Tech Experts
What is the purpose of these di-kheads when they do not respond to any of the technical questions. 2 weeks without a response is a joke and tbh these clowns should be shown the door

Why LL5. LL6 , Supervision ?
Why are LL5, LL6, Supervision not getting fired? To many corrupt chiefs not enough Indians.
All your jobs going Brazil. Mexico, India...
Ford is not an American company. Why buy from this corrupt company. Why?
Ford Next should have found a way to keep FLV. He was a transformational leader.
He was able to transform a high end purse into it's base elements, by employing a butane torch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tstwUKFv2qY
New CEO of Pro post disappeared quickly
Was it the dancing skill mentioned? Or the two people competing to be Cannis’ replacement? How is Frick able to manage Pro as a part time job? Apparently Pro doesn’t need its own CEO.

Op-ed: Reverse Darwinism At Play
Rather than nurture its best and brightest, Ford “selectively prunes” them! Why would a company do this? Two dark motivations: Jealousy from within the ranks. Cost/benefit calculations from above. A toxic mix of professional jealousy and... — read more
Any update on the Whitmer-blessed subsidy deal?
Ford received huge incentive packages from state and local governments for new investments (factories, battery plants, etc.). A prominent example is Ford’s plan to build an EV battery plant in Marshall, Michigan. In 2022, Michigan Gov. Gretchen... — read more
Does anyone have a favorite FTEP?
I would say mine is Global 8D. It was the first one I completed. G8D is one of the foundations of what we do at Ford. I know asking about your favorite FTEP is a bit like asking which one is your favorite child.
Wake up
If you're young and you’ve got options, use them. Ford has changed. It isn’t magically going to turn into some golden opportunity down the road. I’ve been around long enough to see how this story ends, and it’s not with promotions or happy endings... — read more
Ford Britain - Sh-t show all hands today
Today’s two sessions were… enlightening, if one’s goal was to witness the ongoing unraveling of coherent leadership. The morning session, led by two executives, offered a masterclass in saying absolutely nothing with great conviction. Confidence in... — read more
Ford is over staffed by 25% - Cuts will continue

Back from vacation today and was told I was laid off

Associate Director Title?
I was canned in 2022. At that time I dont think I had ever seen the title 'associate director'. Now I've seen, on LinkedIn, two former colleagues recently promoted into roles with that title. I'd guess it's an LL5~4-ish rank. It looks like Ford has... — read more
“When you bring facts to HR, they act”

Does anyone know what's going on in Percepta (CRC)?

Was let go this morning
I was laid off this morning. I thought it was over last week so it was a total shock. Hopefully everyone lands on their feet but this really hurts.
Anyone else worried?
About car payments, mortgages, cottage rentals, movie passes, netflix subscriptions, etc.? how will we eat and live?
