Lets be honest with ourselves; this is a mediocre company with C players at best
No one who is actually a success in their career works here. Anyone with an ounce of ambition realizes this and makes a plan to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise they risk ruining the rest of career by severe stagnation

Do you see yourself being here 2 to 3 years from now?
Assuming you aren't' involuntarily laid off , would you genuinely want to stay long term?
More Stolen F-150's
Our spokesman claims they are stolen because they are popular, I submit because its easy and Ford has done little to stop it. Another problem we can't fix. Over the past year or so, a large number of Blue Oval models have been stolen directly from... — read more
Layoff While on Vacation?
If a person being let go is on vacation, does Ford wait for them to come back?
Cautionary tale! JSNTRTO got let go
See the 6 month severance thread. This shows that if you push back they will put you in the next up list. Not that they don't have is all in their sights eventually. RTO won't save you, but fighting will get you cut faster. Maybe some would like... — read more

Why is everybody trying so hard to do as little as possible?
I've been at Ford for a year and the thing I realized without a doubt is that laziness is part of the culture. Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the impression I've gotten in the last twelve months. It's a wonder the company is not doing... — read more

How does Ford vet it's leadership team?
How do we get a Plant Manager who has filed personal bankruptcy? If they can't manage their own finances, how can they possibly be trusted to make the sound decisions required to run a major plant? I need to work a few more years, hope we make it! — read more
