That I should have not joined ford. I always knew. When that offer letter came. I knew I shouldn’t have accepted it. I had already seen the signs at that point. I still accepted it. Because I’m a gremlin.

I’m in the same boat as below OP with Toxic boss… and I have reported to HR

With the Canadian tariffs coming, Ford should shift production plans for Super Duty back to the US? The sooner, the better. Trump would buy a Super Duty off the White House lawn for sure with this smart Ford America First strategy. Engineer... — read more 

New regime took a realistic approach vs trying to ki-l ICE with regulations. Can’t wait to see Billy and Fartley say we don’t want to go back. Guess who will be ok with it, Toyota.

I have toxic boss, Any genuine experiences post reporting your boss ? Is it worth it? Can’t change the jobs due to visa issues… No trolls please…

What products are going to TN? Huge complex and zero products announced that could fill it. Plus they are still hiring. EV’s don’t count for the next 4 years.

Ford is like the mafia. Loyalty is king. If someone sc--ws up amongst us made men, we are expected to look the other way. If you don’t bury it, we bury you.

Had inconsistents on review and are over age 50.

Curios about salary, bonus and any other compensation for the typical LL5.

I am no longer giving an effort for only a 2.5% increase in salary; how do they expect to keep anyone with this garbage? Tired of the mediocrity/ trash stock price. Cannot wait to leave this stagnation

Sounds so sweet Ford execs can now carry sheets of aluminiun on their cars one by one to avoid tariffs. Finally they can work for their salary.

How long after the tariffs go in place will the white collar staff in the US continue to be employed? One month? 6? How long until all the corporate jobs are farmed out to LLCs?
