Parking Congestion Around PDC and AEC
seems like a fire hazard. Fire trucks won't be able to get through to put out EV fires the way people are parking. Maybe Ford needs a stern letter from the Dearborn Fire Department.

Targeting those with 24-25 years service again
So Ford is doing it again. Multi-year top achievers getting rated 1's, lowest ratings because they are shy of 30 year mark and LL4's and 5's need scapegoats. Targeting, harassing, when is this company ever going to learn? These people have a... — read more

Model T over will anything stop layoffs now
After this joke do you have any reason to feel safe here?
Disappointed
Hardly a “Model T” moment. It was telling that Bill was nowhere to be seen during this event. Doing away with the Escape and Corsair for a gamble. What a shame. We need new leadership.

Ford is Replicating Tesla Manufacturing Process
WTH. It's interesting to see Ford, a century-old company, now mimicking Tesla’s disruptive strategies. It raises questions, are legacy automakers innovating, or just playing catch up?
Model T Moment = Yawn Fest
As expected, over hyped and nothing shown just numbers and too much jargon. JF was sweating and DF forgot to wear his bunny slippers. People were expecting something and all they got was this, lame!
This project is going to light the match. I thought the company was already torched
Jim Farley the joke. If he saw china coming for years why did Farley wait till the 9th inning to do something? Incompetence! That’s what

Tune in today at 10:15am today for a laugh. Here the smartest person in the room, Chris Farleys cousin Jim Farley, talk about his great plans for success! Just like Jim’s plans to improve quality!
Maybe it's my time
Somehow I’ve made it through eight rounds of layoffs over the years since I joined Ford, but this time feels different. I can’t explain it, just a gut feeling that my luck might be finally running out. I'm trying to stay prepared but I won't lie... — read more

Can’t even go to bowling because my manager thinks he owns my evenings
I recently picked up bowling and joined a league. But my manager loses it if I miss his calls after work hours. I’m not on call, not getting paid, but somehow still “expected to help” because I’m the team's youngest. He hinted I should only bowl on... — read more

Does anyone remember March 13 2020? The day the world changed. The same day millions of people around the world were sent home.
RTO should be called RTC. Return from Covid.
Everything bad that comes with RTO shouldn’t surprise you
It’s by design. More control, less communication, insane workloads, unrealistic expectations, and requirements few can actually meet. And it will escalate. Because RTO isn’t here to make Ford a leading company. It’s not here to retain talent, boost... — read more
