Applying to other jobs internally
How do I do a lateral job transfer without alerting my LL6 who is a typical desi spouting technical nonsense usually?
Come into the office ?
If Ford wants people to come back into the office so bad, pay them a little more than the WFH employees. Incentive is everything! Not rocket science Fartley!

Considering how many quiet quitters and how slow this place is, is anyone else also working another job?
Been here for a year and have wasted my time
This place is where careers go to die. Everyone here is just quiet quitting and I’ve realized my skills have just gotten worse and worse being here. I’ll have to lie hard on my resume to get another job elsewhere
Family and friends?
My observation of working at Ford as a contractor is this is a "family and friends" business, both in the plants and in the office. Is this true in your opinion?

Bill Ford says end acrimonious talks
Lol. Personally I like how he chose to use words the UAW members would have to look up. What exactly is the point of the UAW creating "operational chaos" and "reputational damage"? Wouldnt that hurt their profit sharing checks?
