Is it a negative? Is it positive? How have your interviewers perceived it

https://www.theautopian.com/ford-and-gm-can-afford-to-give-its-workers-40-raises-analyst/ Good take. The offer Ford made was bunk. Pure bunk. For me ending the two-tier pay structure is a deal-breaker. If Ford doesn't agree to that then no deal. The... — read more

And pretend to “work”? This clown is making 20 million dollars a year for doing this?

One person goes on vacation and everything else comes to a stand still. Seems like most people are just sitting on their hands doing nothing and very few are actually productive with anything

Brilliant move to replace these two SUVs with EVs. The Lincoln version edge will be imported from CCP. JF and Billy are d-mber than I thought. Which one is D-mb and which one is D-mber? So more salary cuts coming to help make up for more huge EV... — read more 

Love how this is a norm. People just skip meetings or are fast asleep during them.

Some people pretend to be happy at Ford and the rest admit they are unhappy. The work environment is very toxic. All these are signs of a failing company.

This is going to be expensive.

Things literally change day to day , the stuff I put in mid year is already outdated. Do I just su-k up to the right people?

Just curious if this fad has passed and what is next!

They need us to break the picket lines, run the parts depots etc. THEN they can resume their regularly scheduled programming.
