"His broad experience and unique responsibilities ... have enabled us to deliver our breakthrough results."

@tb Why is Kumar a victim?
@p7 Why do you laugh at victims?
@a1 I know exactly who this is and why they're upset. It's because this is the lady that actually did significant harm internally at Ford and falsified documents to cover her own misconduct in HR. I told the truth. I've always told the truth.
@d3 Why do you use dog whistles to spread rumors and lies as retaliation for me calling out you guys doing this? Why does our government look away at this?
Most of the people at Ford don't have a normal personality, they drink the kool-aid and act like zealots. They like to talk sh-t to cope for their own insecurities like pu----s, who don't stand behind what they say because they are incapable of defending their arguments, so they comment on here saying stupid sh-t.
@p7 Are you laughing or bothered? I assume the latter
can we laugh harder?
@a3 the only one that came close to old Lee in recent years is Maximum Bob Lutz. tho i bet Lee would be impressed with what Tesla has been doing. tesla seems stalled or plateau'd now. and that cybertruck. yikes.
Dude is a skilled politician. Farley has repeatedly tried to oust him and toss him under the bus. Kumar always finds and underling or two to divert blame to and fire. The global town halls were always hilarious. Farley saying essentially now Kumar will tell us why everything is in the toilet. Kumar having a brief FU expression before smoothing out his facial expression. Kumar then shutting down any questions he didn’t like. (Some of the questions were ones Farley had asked a subordinate to have one of their subordinates to ask). Ah the games Ford leaders play, if only they would focus on job #1.
He needs a PIP to development a personality. Metrics should be measurable. But in Ford fashion, corporate and hooper metrics simply are not. There's hope he upgrades to least a yellow rating or a 2. Needs at least a 1 on his performance review because honest reviews are dictated from above.
That freep article is just a Ford PR puff piece. Long winded; sprinkled with a few nuggets of truth; and a whole lot of BS
@cq More like BENDS the employees before he bends the rules!
@cq triggered?
Kumar is a maverick who bends all the rules to make Ford a successful enterprise. You go guy!
@by oh, don’t get me wrong, the guy is completely useless, but he’s a good politician.
@OP You could count the number of employees that are grateful using only one hand.

@OP What about thanking Harold? They have equal and shared intelligence. Or lack thereof. Time for a curry burger!
He the Lee Iacocca of Ford. All I can say is "Wow!"
One thing is for sure, he doesn't stand for humor or sarcasm. So please shut down this post.
Kumar is definitely NOT a deer in the headlights!
