Then sabotaged, lied, and covered it up Fakes reports. Padded file everything. These people used my skills and took credit for the work I did for everyone around me I reported it and they did nothing I went over the head of my manager for... — read more
Layoffs at GDIA?
Heard of layoffs in GDIA, no announcement, nothing.
The downhill slide
I remember when this place was the gold standard. Amazing culture, people who actually cared. Now, it’s like watching a slow collapse. The good folks are leaving, and those in charge act like we’re just stats on a report. Somewhere along the way... — read more

3 RTO isn’t going to happen
No one wants to come in the freezing weather to sit in a sh1t office to Webex their incompetent colleagues in Chennai who don’t even speak basic English and are arrogant as if they run the company and us working with them is a blessing for us — read more
5 Day RTO Isn’t Going To Happen - 3 Day RTO is Working
My Manager is fine with 3 day RTO. 3 day RTO has been going so well and most everyone I know is getting their work done. There are a few bad apples that have done next to nothing since 2020, but they shouldn’t spoil it for the rest of us. I don’t... — read more
Farley’s expiration date?
Farley’s CEO contract began 10/1/2020 and likely was five years expiring 9/30/25. I’ve noticed the silence on the executive departures (down to 84 from 93 a year ago!) including Cannis and Stern most recently, and who the replacements or what the... — read more
How to Undo Retirement at Ford
I signed up for retirement on Life@ford last December for retiring January 31 to caring for my terminally ill father. Unfortunately my dad passed away 2 weeks ago leaving me with no purpose to retire early. I'm 55. Does the company give people a... — read more
Subscription Model Insanity
Dear Glorious Executives, It won’t work, dot try it. I beg you. Our customers are not going to pay subscriptions to use features that are built into the cars. Everyone I talk to absolutely despises the idea of paying an extra monthly bill to use... — read more
Ironic! Washington Commanders destroy the Lions. Now another team in Washington DC are going to destroy Ford!
https://247wallst.com/investing/2025/01/22/ford-will-be-crippled-by-end-of-ev-tax-credit/ 🤣 This is going to be glorious to watch.
Can I start working another job while waiting for the 401k vest?
I don't want to leave money on the table and want to milk everything I can from this trash company
Burned Out & Dehumanized
Very rich that after years of dehumanizing and burning out employees, JF has the gall to stand up and preach we now need to deliver their latest doomed to fail folly. Face it JF, you've driven your employees over the cliff and they are not interested... — read more
Why is Peter Stern still listed on Ford’s “Our Leadership” page
I thought he departed last month. Did we lay off the person who updates the websites?
I want to quit but take the 401k match ; how can i make this happen?
I have about 5 months until my 401k match vests; what can I do to wait it out until that day? I don't want to build a career here and frankly working here has been a downgrade in my career and has really set myself back multiple years Should i give... — read more
401k
What happens with it if you're cut and you've only been here for two years, give or take a month?
F-150 guy said, "Tomorrow 1/22 Layoffs"
F-150 guy said today that 1/22 is the big day.
This article sums it all up: Bad management!

EV Mandate Over - Time to Call It Done!
Let’s stop the waste and get out of the EV business. Use resources to bolster ICE and Hybrid teams.
Do I need to tell new employer I still work at Ford?
I don't do much work at Ford just like the rest of the people there so I decided to apply around and get more work while still milking the paycheck here.
Ford stock
After sound advice from my financial planner, I sold all my Ford stock today. Took the loss and am still smiling! Just spreading the advice...for free.
Indian banglore teams have the lowest bar I have ever seen
technically incompetent dont know how to communicate always deflecting work
Ford guys surely cannot let this go unchallenged. GM could recall more than 870,000 vehicles due to reports of engine failure.
How about 1,000,000 Ford F-150 Trucks produced between 2022-2025 being mandatory recalled due to the bed of the truck separating from the truck frame due to Ford workers forget to torque the bolts securing the truck's bed to the frame. GM will feel... — read more

The Lions! Still a Ford Family (failing) holding
#1 seed. Bust! Everything we touch turns to cr-p!
When Canopy failed, were the 50 employees laid off?
I saw an announcement when 50 employees were moved from Ford to canopy, but no announcement when they failed to deliver. Was anybody laid off?
Mental Health Issues
From so many postings it is very clear that employees are suffering a lot at Ford by being unhappy. It may not be worth waiting indefinitely for severance pay as there is too much to lose if you stay. Your health is much more important than a Ford... — read more
Management changes not good
Recently got a new manager. I am told that I now have 2 supervisors and 2 managers that can give me work. I can say that's been interesting in not a good way so far. The new manager does not seem to trust anyone. And this manager has made... — read more
Give me severance for 6 months and id gladly leave
Most people have no interest in being here; we are just collecting paychecks with the least amount of effort possible.
Pension / benefits sc--wed for under 55
If you are under 55, you don't even qualify for a Z plan as you are not eligible for pension benefits. Sigh. That's what's called a double whammy. Thank you very little!!
Poor Performers
Those of you who will receive low or poor performance review this month during your 1:1, better pack your stuff and hit the door.
Did Farley’s “coach speak” inspire everyone?
It reminds me of Hackett: Every now and then, in the face of adversity, an automotive CEO needs to sound like a football coach and send an obvious but memorable motivational message to his or her team. Some might call it coachspeak. Ford CEO Jim... — read more
Literally haven't done any work for past 2 weeks
Somehow still coasting by, no one has noticed or cares. I do think most people here have other jobs for sure
Write ur cdsid/role/and reason u should not be laid off
i will consider your arguments
This company is spiraling down fast and it will be catastrophic
Stock price is down 13% last year when the SPY was up 20%. Surrounded by just incompetent and checked out Indians in bangalore who can barely speak english and have issues with actually getting work done. All it is excuses and excuses and no actual... — read more
Ford to follow Meta's lead?
Sounds like a good way to get rid of deadwood, and hire better talent: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/meta-to-cut-5-of-staff-with-eye-on-lowest-performers-memo-says/ar-BB1rru0Y
Why has Ford been allowed to reach this point?
We’ve been stuck in a cycle of one bad decision after another, suffering the consequences for far too long. It’s mind-boggling that no one has taken action to address this. We need a change in leadership, someone with fresh ideas—anything to break... — read more
