This would be right after the week of reorganization meetings.

Asking for a friend

Fu-k u ford. I’ll never get those valuable years back

Stock price stuck ~$9/share. It was once at $25 under Farley. Mark Fields was blown out over stock price and he was a way better CEO than Farley. So how is Farley still there? I don't get it.

If you still own any then you're not very bright.

Probably either Ford HR or model e employees.

USA Today, Feb 11, 2025, Ford CEO Jim Farley: "Let's be real honest: Long term, a 25% tariff across the Mexico and Canada borders would blow a hole in the U.S. industry that we've never seen," Farley said. "Frankly, it gives free rein to South... — read more
