Former metrologist back I laid out several problems in my last past and I want to explain how to fix them. Never point out a problem without a solution that's how I lasted 40 years at Ford :). Fire Farley Increase pay for the really skilled... — read more 

Please weigh in.

Anyone listen/watch today? What a blowfest Mainly Farley to himself and putting all the losses again on us and taking zero responsibility. You sir are the reason we are in this mess. It starts at the top and the top should be replaced immediately. — read more 

Decided to rent an EV for the weekend. It only had a 200 mile range. At about 100 miles left, I decided to try and recharge the EV, only to find that the charger wasn't working. The second charger was being used by someone else. After driving to... — read more 

After last months GTH, I wonder if the Q&A will only have "planted" Q's? Also can't wait for JF and team to put the blame of poor quality and poor strategy on GRSs.

Farley has been at Ford since 2009, and we’ve been losing market share ever since. The accountability? He gets promoted to CEO, and the losses continue. Doug Field has been at Ford for four years, with zero accomplishments to date. Model e is losing... — read more 

I worked for Ford for more than 40 years, here are my observations. workers used to take so much pride in their work, not any more. This is part of the rest for the decline in quality layoffs are just an excuse to appease shareholders We will... — read more 

Another round of quarterly results are out and, like clockwork, we get another admonishing email from supreme vice chairman JLaw. After countless rounds of layoffs, forcing people to RTO, promoting a million TS’s, and cancelling tons of products, can... — read more 

It feels like this company is losing on all fronts. Every year we are promised things are changing but every year we find out we are worse off than the previous year. When was the last W we had as a company? Losing market share everywhere. Quality is... — read more 

Anyone else tired of the Ford engineer status quo ‘fighting’ for maybe 2-3 % annual merits while being overloaded with work with no sight of increased headcount? While Boeing machinists are rejecting 35% raises & Boeing engineers are unionized? ... — read more

The quarter could be a loss. With sales tanking, warranty costs still rising and the cost of hourly labor, most analysts are expecting a blood bath. Could a mass layoff be in the offing next week to try and offset the inevitable stock price crash?... — read more 

I used to be petrified of the possibility of being laid off, but Ford has made my job so unbearable that now I'm actively hoping to be laid off just to get out of this mess. Go figure. And if you want to ask me why I don't quit, have you seen the job... — read more 

Like most people here, I am mentally checked out and just want to do the bare minimum to avoid getting looked at or noticed. This company is dead in the water and will probably not exist in 10 years. Any advice on coasting / looking for another job... — read more 

Heard from a Ford Senior Manager that 40-50% headcount reduction is required for Ford to even survive. Is the financial situation so bad? Can they fix the problems or go under in few years?

How many of you have retired and went back to work after a year or 2? What are your reasons besides financial?

Literally travel the world and no one seems to notice . I decline meetings all the time.

Lots of "we should" comments from all leaders. Not one of them took any responsibility for the current mess.

“Ford Secure is a subscription for Stolen Vehicle Services.” Why would anybody pay Ford for this? If we need a layoff, anybody associated with 5his should go first.

Expect mass layoffs right before Holiday season starts

I only work 10 hours a week and can get through my full time job here so I am trying to become overemployed and earn more.

This company has no long term future; this is the titanic slowly sinking. I wouldn't be surprised if Ford is bankrupt within 3 years or bought up by another company and all of us are laid off

There have been some rumblings that this could be the week.
