The assessment system means nothing. It really comes down to what your LL5 thinks of you. Your LL6 doesn't even have the say - it's all about the LL5.
Sure, blame DEI for all your problems. What a mo--n.
LOL @h7 totally agree on that. DIL has to run and control everything, and she shouldn’t.
@h6 there were bonkers initiatives in the distant past as well, you are just too young to remember/know about them.
I am the era of the Vietnam draft, that was hella fun, not. We all thought the world was F’ed and the older generation had ruined everything for us. Yours is not a new sentiment. Chin up and find a better place to work.
The PR system changes to be able to target certain employees without saying they are targeting. PR's always benefit Ford, not the employee. That is why is continually changes.
@gq probably your daughter in law shouldn't be a manager in the first place
One pattern I have looked for and it's not just my mindset is that we have been infiltrated with some very bad ideas that have serious consequences. Thanks for the story about all the wisdom you gained as a young lad but too many sociopaths are in power in our institutions... glad you are enjoying your family but future generations are totally fu---d due to DEI and other bad ideas.
Agreed, the PR system is a joke. My LL6 told me the LL5 is the one who has the primary or final say to your PR.
And the Ford + behaviors that you're graded on are another joke. They are whatever 'leadership deems them to be. Never explained and a vague one page brochure about them buried within folders on the AT Ford site.
People always look for patterns to support their own mindset.
When I was a young lad there was a woman who got hired as an electrician at my dad’s workplace. Every night he would come home complaining about the “d-mb” woman and plot with his mates on what to do to her, the only female. I swallowed the mentality hook line and sinker until I was hired as the gof-fer and observed she was actually highly skilled and intelligent. And the guys the biggest gossips on the planet.
Now an old man and I hear my daughter in law, a manager, speaking about young man-bun employees the way my dad spoke of his female coworker.
It’s really all about one group trying to make themselves feel better about themselves by putting another group down. There is a certain personality type that should never be allowed to have power.
As of 2022, women held 52 percent of professional-managerial roles in the U.S. Women earn more than 57 percent of bachelor degrees, 61 percent of master’s degrees, and 54 percent of doctoral degrees. And because they are overrepresented in professions, such as human resource management (73 percent) and compliance officers (57 percent), that determine workplace behavioral norms, they have an outsized influence on professional culture, which itself has an outsized influence on American culture more generally.

Ever notice how HR and teachers are almost all women and no men.
It's the rule of the longhouse.
“It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.”
― George Orwell, 1984
Our head of HR is a stone cold ct and leading an organization of empowered cts. There was a time at Ford you barely heard about HR, now they are in our business regularly.
At Ford "It's who you know to get the job, it's not what you know".
I miss radical candor.
Not!
how much time did you spent on your mid year pr... if you spend more than 15mins... then you are just validating the changes and agreeing to it.

At Ford, if you're not on your supervisor’s kiss-a-s list — LL6 or LL5 — you're automatically labeled a non-performer, no matter your results. Merit means nothing here; it's all about playing the social game. Performance takes a back seat to politics."
Self assessment is all just a joke. Regardless of what you put down. Your manager can just say what they want. Another new ploy to try to head off future legal issues when they conduct layoffs.
