Well that was a bs meeting. All redundant statements and didn’t answer the question we wanted answer to. HTHD got sc--wed too.

During comp review i asked my new boss if i was still HTHD as he was explaining how my new bonus target is lower. He had no idea what HTHD was
@146 they first have to come up with another scheme to reward FnF
Do you laugh or cry? 30 years of observing the same Ford games. Good in theory initiatives are set up by well intentioned individuals. Those initiatives are destroyed by the LL3->LL6 who use the initiatives to reward the FnF and advance their own careers - the intended purpose is ignored.
As soon as the HTHD was announced we all knew it would be abused. Sure enough they were dispensed to FnF.
Stick around long enough and you will see the pattern. In the 1990s almost overnight a slew of women were promoted to GSR 9 (later GSR 9&10 were rebadged to LL6). The thing was that the management excluded the most capable women from promotion. FnF was well represented though. At the time we were told the capable women’s time would come. But it didn’t and they all left Ford.
Ford tries to break the FnF game by bringing in LL5 and LL4 from outside. They are defeated by the entrenched FnF cabal every time. They have the numbers and the patience to sabotage the outsiders efforts. The entire LL3->LL6 need to go.
HTHD is dead. They just won't admit it.
Found the "friend or family" member
They got their title, why expect anything else? That's why HTHD is a thing now.
From an old timer, I hope you all don't factor that bonus into your household budget because it's going away really soon.
401k match will be going soon too. It's the early to mid 2000s all over again.
And don't worry, the execs will still get theirs.
130%? So you were a TA.
Who cares about others if you get yours. SMH
- 5 years with the company.
I got 130%.
Not all old guys are being targeted.
:)
P.S. I truly love my job and have enjoyed the journey. Will be retiring @ 35 years.
“ Too busy doing work to go to such an unimportant meeting.”, Ha, seee, I told everyone this place is full of trolls
HTHD is BS. It’s a way to sc--w the long term employees who have contributed in company for years and Ford doesn’t want them anymore.
Sounds like HTHD will no longer result in bigger bonus...
Too busy doing work to go to such an unimportant meeting.
Not everyone.
Everyone is getting sc--wed on bonus. Not unique to any team
What do we mean HTHD got sc--wed? If you are an employee and you were at the meeting than you know. We aren’t publishing deets on here
Wtf do you mean by HTHD got sc--wed? Elaborate please
The only reason you should work for this company is to prepare for your next role otherwise you're just wasting your time.
At some point it depends on how you see yourself. If you are categorized as HTHD and think Ford is sc--wing you over, I don't see why you'd stay. HTHD people are resourceful, and they tend to leave if they don't get what they think they deserve. I don't see truly HTHD people staying and just dealing with sub-par compensation.
What do you mean HTHD got sc--wed?
Had mine. Joke. I'll try not to spend it all in one place.
HTHD just means that Ford acknowledges you are under compensated for your role you have. Our entire team got changed to HTHD 3 years ago but no comp changes ever followed. Our LL4 told us not to hold our breath.
