Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Riddle me This -

What has managers who manage their own calendars, senior managers who manage to avoid actual work, and directors whose only direction is "let's circle back"? Executives who couldn't execute a simple Google search.

Seriously, managers with no employees, senior managers with zero understanding of management, directors who just direct the flow of bullsh-t that comes out of their own mouths and "Executives" that preach AI because they themselves cant think critically?

The answer? A complete mystery!

It wasn't at Ford, but I remember working for another company. One of my peers showed me a photo of an obviously successful person sitting behind a desk reading the newspaper. He said that picture is what he thought success looked like.

Not quite my picture of leadership.

I remember going to our manager on one issue because we were at an impasse with another group. We had meeting after meeting and worked many angles before bringing the issue to him. His response was to go back and work it out.

We apologized but said we don't see any other approaches we can take. Then we turned the tables on him and asked him what approaches he suggests. He couldn't offer anything. So we asked him what he thought his role should be in this issue. He thought about it and finally decided he needed to meet with his peer in the other organization to discuss further.

Sometimes you have to have them tell you what they need to do so it sounds like it was their idea before they actually do their job.

Anyone doing cruddy work for cruddy Ford has my full and unwavering support. Only a bootlicker would think differently.
