I like working at Ford
I said it before and I'll say it again. There's so much hate here, but I'm sure at least some others feel the same way I do. I mean, if you hate your job, then why are you so worried about layoffs? I am because I want to stay here. But why do you if... — read more

Since 1980, most Ford CEOs lasted 5 years or less
The exception was Mulally, who could have stayed for as long as he wanted. He made it just shy of 8 years. Farley couldn't lick the fuzzy hanging from Mulally's junk. So I'm expecting his ouster at any moment.
