We have world class engineers here
Good job, mechanical engineers! Who is the highly regarded individual that approved this mo--nic design? Let’s see who tried to defend this “design choice” https://youtu.be/0SASSFjIt5I
Would you RTO if we are forced like Amazon 5 days a week?
I certainly would not. Not interested in moving to Dearborn to be underpaid, underappreciated and undervalued.
Do you see a future here? Or are you just here to cash as many paychecks as possible
I don't even think Ford will be around in 5 years
Scotty says what we already know. BEVs are not ready for prime time.

GTH today
Did anyone watch the GTH with our beloved leaders? Specially the guy at the end with his questions? Farley and friends looked like deer in headlights. His cds was probably deactivated after that

Thinking about the old days at Ford
I miss those days, a lot. Remember when working here was something to be proud of? Back then, everyone knew the Ford name for its quality and all the good things it stood for, and not the layoffs and failures it's known for now. Those were the good... — read more

Ford may merge with Red Lobster to form a new company, Ford Motor & Lobster Company (FoMoLoCo).
The merging of these two companies makes no logical sense at all. It just might work. https://www.salon.com/2024/09/11/a-great-day-for-red-lobster-seafood-chain-to-exit-bankruptcy-after-approval-of-restructuring-plan/

Leaders of successful business units do not up and retire
There is more to this Cannis story. He was either hitting on the cute young talent. Or the fleet business is starting to see a downturn. Or he called Farley a fat piece of cr-p I'm going with a downtown. More reason to liquidate your stock. — read more

Are you proud to work at Ford?

Pivot! Pivot! Constantly but never get anything done
It'd be great to complete things - from ideation to completion would be fantastic. Instead we just pivot. Change focus, regroup, refocus, Pivot! We're redirecting. Stop everything - it's been reprioritized. Blah blah blah I'm so happy to be employed... — read more

How are things going for FordPass?
Are the EV features still a priority? I was frozen out due to not being in the club. I was disappointed that F-150 features weren't prioritized.
