The #1 most recalled car manufacturer in the US. The meme "if you want to spend more time in the shop than on the road. Buy a Ford" rings truer every day. A CEO who's Ford portfolio is fiasco after fiasco is taking a road trip while a pending... — read more

$170K and not a dime less, that's why there is a union in the first place. Besides, if the executives and management are making the big bucks, then why aren't hard working, labor intensive UAW employees. Executives and management should take a cut if... — read more 

Teamsters got $170,000 for UPS workers, can UAW do the same for Auto workers?

UPS drivers’ new $170k per year deal shows that unions (and Joe Biden) may just save the middle class after all https://fortune.com/2023/08/08/ups-drivers-170000-union-agreement-teamsters-middle-class-bidenomics/

Salaried needs to strike as well and come up with a list of their own demands. Seriously, someone needs to consider leading this.

I will have little/no work to do since the plant is shut down. Do I just drive home? Sleep in and enjoy? What happens?

Everyone operates in their own corner here, there is literally 0 collaboration. I have no idea what anyone else is working on. Whenever I ask for help or having some discussion, it is just thrown to the side. People are just doing projects... — read more 

It's amazing that Ford is now training some white collar workers (designers) to fill in for union workers who may go out on strike in the fall. How can this be going on?

I was shorted $2000 on my severance payment. Anyone else struggling with being able to contact Ford with questions? Has anyone else experienced a delinquent payment?

HR, this SH#T is getting tiring.

Seems a half-assed opinion now is more valuable than a solid, succinct opinion tomorrow.

I have no idea how I am doing and its going to be my 1 year anniversary. If I get below expectations, will I get fired or PIP? I don't know what to expect at all

I have no idea how it works at all. I haven't been explicitly told I am doing badly. If you get below expectations, do you get on a PIP? I have been here for just 1 year and unsure where I stand really.

Batten down the hatches we're in for a storm.

How can I do the least amount of work and stay on payroll as long as possible? I was starry eyed and wanted to build a career here but I am stupid to think that is reality.

JF posted on LinkedIn about his road trip in F150 Lighting. He must not have much else to do. Wasn’t a road trip what the Deltas did in Animal House when they hit rock bottom?

What were the dates of the June layoffs?

FLV is still on the payroll and all charges against him dropped. So it appears Ford's strategy pays off, as corrupt as it appears.

Haven't heard from him in over 2 weeks. Last Global Town Hall he wasn't there, which he seems to love those. I'm wondering if he's getting canned finally? Would have expected some comment after the layoffs, but nothing.

I am really worried and stressed out about this. Would they really have layoffs again so soon? Which departments will be gutted? is ADAS going to be affected?
