When anyone who has anyone to do with Ford looks at the succeses and problems how can you you miss Junior's input! Alan had a year left on his contract when Junior sent him on his way. He hired Hackett! Seriously Hackett. He hired a Chris Farley... — read more
Mr. Bunny Shoes
Seriously, does this clown think anyone other than Junior takes him seriously? He was useless at Tesla and Apple and yet that is all he brags about. I love the 'you don't even know all the features that your phone has they we will bring to your... — read more
What is God's name does Ford Pro do?
Ford Pro according to finance is making a ki-ling? Where is the money actually coming from? I don't hear or read a thing about it other than in our BS that we send out to us salary flunkies. Is Model E Ford Pro delivering a software bonanza I am... — read more
For God's sake don't use your own judgement
It would appear that the cyclical nature of Ford and it's ability to keep playing the same narrative in some kind of obscene sine wave is happening again. It can be summarized as 1/ you are not doing enough for the company 2/ the beatings will... — read more
Your jobs are being shipped out!!

Got a sub 3% merit increase
Forget this garbage company. No rsu and mediocre raises. Just waiting for the market to get better and I’m out. Tired of getting chump change when I’m being worked like a slave here
I just don't get this company anymore, no more Explorer Hybrid
https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2024/03/04/ford-maverick-monthly-sales-record-hybrid-pickup/72836485007/ We should be doubling down on hybrids.
Coffee Badging
RTO, Coffee Badging, or Quiet Quitters are all the same. I am seeing this everyday at the office. People are just not motivated to do any work anymore. What has this company created?
Merit Notifications starting now!
Too bad people are not going to get the 6% the company promised in memo. This co is so backwards.
RTO Mandate and Lack of Proper Facilities
Is everyone super excited about RTO mandates? My favorite part is the lack of parking and awful work spaces. I can’t wait to walk a half mile to my car in the rain after work today.
This site still can't handle the truth
They nuke anything political even though politics drive all of the decisions at the top. It's Bill's MO.

There are still too many Ford stans working here
I'm not sure how. This company has done nothing but treat all of us like cr-p for years. People need to stop behaving like they're in a cult just because they work here. So here's my plea: Don't be a cultist. This is just a job and you're an... — read more

Lease offers do not make sense. Escape 4 yr $23k lease with ~42K miles
Just went on ford.com to see what my options were to buy a ford escape. $30K MSRP vs $23K paid over a 4 year lease (42K miles total) - $3k down and ~$380 a month for 48 months. This does not make sense why would anyone leave this over buying it if... — read more

Freep headline. We can’t make a simple website that doesn’t crash, but we are a software and subscription company….and not for any Ford product, for a TESLA product. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ford EV owners finally have something better
They finally have something better, access to Tesla Supercharger. Something Ford can't provide to the customers for years. I should have bought a Tesla instead of a Ford. ... — read more
