Why didn't JF use this global event to give DF a proper send off this morning? I and all of Model e and Skunkworks are disappointed DF wasn't properly recognized. In fact, the only mention of DF was in the chat. Missed opportunity indeed.

If Ford truly cared about us, they would either up our pay, or let us WFH an additional day each week, to compensate us for the price of gas used coming into the office.
