Most incompetent and entitled folks I have ever worked with.
Always are hard to communicate with, have alot of attitude and always taking vacations.
This company is going downhill fast if they think these folks are supposed to replace folks in the US
@3amp+1vXob6dK I see you are another of those id--ts that cause a lot of grief to regular folks. Too bad you were not in the Palisades fires to not see, but feel the hot difference that DEI brings with it. I'd like to see if you actually ask for the DEI hires for your health care as well.
I share the OP feelings, not because they are Indians, not because their culture or skin color. I have terrific coworkers here in Dearborn, that immigrated from India. No, no, no (indian head movement/wobble at the same time.) The reasons I don't like my counterparts in India are:
We are hiring mo--ns in India because they are cheaper, but we end paying more due to their lack of contributions.
The tipping point tipped a LONG time ago! Has anyone seen Ford Credit lately? No exaggeration, I'd say 90% are Indian. It always amused me how the DEI meetings would complain about white people (males mostly) not hiring enough minorities when less the 1 out of 10 people in Credit is a white male... Big thanks to President Trump for putting an end to this racial BS. Let's see if the company goes along with it.
Jim said that our company was behind the competition regarding DEI. This is how we change that.
Are you really having difficulties with these foreign colleagues?
Or is it just a difficult adjustment to work with new people who come from different cultures? Because that takes time for everyone to adjust.
This could be the beginning of something great if we all approach it that way.
I have seen ones that are ok and get stuff done. However, for the most part my experiences with them have been negative. A lot of nepotism among them as they tend to only hire more of themselves. Mildly comical is to have one get impatient with you and start to try and be assertive. Doesnt seem in thier nature so when they get pushy it's kinda funny.
One of the biggest mistakes that Ford management has made was to eliminate the long term Ford “lifers” and bring in the H1B army. By doing this Ford has lost the very people who were keeping the Ford culture alive. And I’m not talking about the Friends and Family crowd. I’m talking about the people who really knew how to get things done in spite of the id--tic management they were working under. Once the majority of those folks were gone and replaced with people who had no skin in the game, Ford was and is, completely sc--wed.
What would you expect from culture that has near no experience in the automotive sector, one the US has been working at successfully for 100+ years?
They've been trying to outsource jobs since the 70's with little to no success. Anytime a counterpart learns something new, they quit and jump for a nickel raise into a new position. Then you have to train the next person right in line. Instead, the bean counters got the brilliant idea to bring them overseas and in house instead.
The goal is to lower the employee cost. Stated from managers within the OEMs, they've specifically been instructed that for every high value individual removed, you are not able to replace unless with two lower price value candidates. This in turn creates a perpetual cycle. Why do the work correctly once, when you can do it three times before it's correct? Why keep quality, when quantity is the new target. Beyond the language barrier issue at times, it seems that our OEMs want to participate heavily in the woke DEI program, in which this is, as per instructed higher than their paygrade.
And this is why there is no love lost from me, when I see OEM valuations fall into the abyss. The more desperate they become, the more nonsense they participate in and with, the more eventual return to normal eventually occurs. You can lie to everyone, but you can't lie to your portfolio valuation. Case in point, AV's and EV's anyone? They bet the farm on that useless sh*t, when everyone knew they weren't going to profit on it. Now, welcome to the future. OEM stock prices are just getting started. Much more down to go... Just wait and watch, we're in the early stages still.
I am not sure about replace.
It just gives a quick rise in the share price from cheapening the labor force
without considering what will happen in the future.
@oti+1vXob6dK they have no original ideas or thought process at all. Horrible working with them. Barely even show up to their own meetings sometimes
Yeah my experience has been the same. They are not very collaborative, don't have any unique ideas and steal other people's work and take credit for it. Ford is doomed because of how many Indians it hired to replace American workers.
