Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Next round is Product and eventually elsewhere.

Trash products, bloated salaries, some belief that new talent can help win. What a winning formula for success.

This company has devolved, and the Ford’s are all just sitting there, I hope the younger ones step up instead of su-king off daddies back teet.

Are you going to fire Jim and Doug? The culture is he-l and not justified. You aren’t number 1 in anything! We all watched the F 150 lose to a fu--ing Rav 4.

Doug is a pathetic excuse for a “engineering mind”. Hau or Kumar could have done a better job.

Oh and the dark horse is that dimwit Matt Jones. The d-bag sits on the Autosar board and still cannot deliver lol.

But yah, let’s fire a bunch of hardworking engineers and TPMs because it’s clearly their fault their leaders are inept and incompetent.

Hey Doug and Jim, you guys are not going to be remembered as anything but the duo who single handedly destroyed an American Icon by assuming customers want pathetic digital products and electric cars with the range of an RC car.

Blue Cruise stinks FYI! Your competitors literally have surpassed you there.

All that is left is to save your lineups people still love before Doug tries to putt batteries on them.

@a9+1jv5mc9ve I spent about two weeks in Sweden right before I started at Ford. My friend from my personal projects out there works at Audi, so we picked up this badass bright-green ride and basically spent the whole trip cruising around in it. I’m not even a car head, but it was clean, ran about 80k, and felt miles ahead of anything Ford’s got in that bracket. Heads were turning everywhere—people snapping pics in the lot like it was a show car. Deadass one of the s-xiest cars I’ve ever been in. No question, solid buy.

LL6s should be next honestly, they bring zero value to Ford. These di-kheads steal GSRs work and just feed on test vehicles for personal purposes

I’d blackmail new grads too if I was washed by them and felt threatened. Especially since I’ve been here for a while and the cultures toxicity is so normalized that these sort of things are pretty much desensitized

Psssst!

It was sarcasm.

Sad that this has to be pointed out to you, instead of you being able to discern the obvious on your own.

P.S. No one cares. The sooner you get that through your head, the better. Really. Life's tough, kid. And the truth of the matter is: NO ONE CARES. Deal with it.

@a8+1jv5mc9ve

If you really cared, you’d listen first instead of handing out some shallow kumbaya speech like it’s medicine. ‘Cooler heads prevail,’ right? So if I keep my hand in boiling water, am I wise for staying calm—never mind that it’s burning through my skin? Nah. Sometimes the smart move is pulling your hand out—fast, loud, and unapologetic—to warn others it’s not okay and they don’t have to accept it.

Your advice doesn’t sound like wisdom—more like conditioning, by numbing ourselves quietly into acceptance.

Don’t get mad that the mirror cracked when we held it up. And maybe it’s time you looked—sometimes the ones suggesting therapy need the therapy, and we should be asking why they’re suggesting it to us!

I'm sensing some deep-seated anger issues here.

Let's try to cool down for a moment, 'k?

Now visualize a calm, soothing place, and put yourself there.

Tranquility, serene and peaceful...no yelling, no anquish...just balmy breezes and sunshine and happy fluffy clouds floating by...drift away into the aura of contentment...

We ain’t doing sh-t for yall.

Look at how you disrespect us in your writing.

Respect is king and it should be mutual.

You tell us what to do to save yall yet say the new talent can’t save? Sounds like YOU FOLKS can’t be saved!!!

Making us out to be leeches in your same breath.

You call out the culture

LOOK AT THE MIRROR AND QUIT BITING ON OURS.

STYLE ISNT FREE
