I see things are only getting worse at Ford
And I didn't think it possible when I left almost two years ago. The best decision I ever made.
Farley, we know you read this, please follow Stephen Scherr’s example:

Joke! Bonuses were bigger in 1999!

Oh Lord... The F-150 guy is right.
Oh Lord... The F-150 guy is right. I can see it coming. Brace for impact. EV will be hit the hardest. 😭
If you quit do you still get a bonus?
Hey everyone, I’ve been getting mixed answers here regarding the bonus. I’m hoping the record can be straight here. I quit a couple months ago and worked at Ford for all of 2023. Would I still be able to receive the 2023 bonus? I’m not expecting... — read more
