UAW and investors (dividend) get all the money
Salaried employees get the shaft. 69%? What a slap in the face. Facing monthly layoffs, training our LCC replacements, getting rated low despite busting our humps. And we see UAW hourly walking away with huge profit sharing checks despite putting... — read more
F stock going down!
If it wasn't for Ford Pro we'd be sc--wed! That's the only division making money. And investors agree. Stock is headed for sub $9 today. Fire Farley!
Farley is the billion dollar man
How does someone have a job when quality su-ks and you lose 10 billion on EVs in 2 years and project to lose another 5 billion in 2025. How does this make sense???!
One excuse after another....
Never meet a CEO like Jim Farley. He can come up with an excuse for every reason why the company is failing. I think both Bill Ford Jr. and Jim Farley should look in the mirror. P.S. Also, they should have stuck with Joe Hinrichs & Mark... — read more

Regret joining Ford
Recently joined HIL team at Ford, engineers are treated so bad. How do people work in this company for so long? I found most of the engineers 60% time wasting time and rest having meetings. Managers speak like they are making best in class products... — read more
I think layoffs will happen Friday
All of the songs are there. Forced rankings, managers leaving and mergers instead of replacements, moving teams where they do not make sense. Also, we received an okay to WHM tomorrow because there is a bit of snow. (This is not usual at all!)... — read more

Having trouble staying motivated; stuck working with team in India and its been awful

This whole affair with tariffs was an unnecessary scare
We need a decent business environment to even try to put Ford on the right track. We really don’t need to be je-ked around with another threat that can undermine the industry and cause more layoffs. I need this job and I don’t need another reason to... — read more
Tax Credit
Family member wanted to get a Mach E. Got all the way to the table and found out the Mach E doesn’t qualify for the 7500 tax credit because of where it’s manufactured/battery chemistry. Walked away. I wonder how many missed sales there are just like... — read more

Can't believe people are desperate to want to work at this circus
