Bail outs hurt
US car companies have been protected and bailed out too many times and are now not only completely uncompetitive on the global market, but set up to be completely demolished as EVs take over. Their bad leadership and overall inefficiency mean that... — read more
Declining sales lead to declining jobs
Is any body else concerned about the 7.9% YOY decline in Ford vehicle sales and 10.9% YOY decline in Lincoln sales? If vehicles aren’t selling, jobs will be eliminated.
You guys realize there are layoffs all the time?
Small cuts are happening all the time, but they're not talked about. The big rounds are announced, the small ones are kept quiet so to avoid panic. We're never layoff-free at Ford.

When will BOD lay off Farley???
Wall Street has no faith in Farley or his projections. They are laughing off 100K Fathom orders. 10% yoy sales declines. Accounting smoke and mirrors make Pro more profitable than the F-150. Instead of laying off failures, they keep collecting... — read more

Ford EV sales in 2026
The 6,047 U.S. EV sales included roughly 5,574 Mustang Mach-Es and 289 F-150 Lightnings for the third quarter. This goes to show no one wants to buy Ford EV. Ford projected to lose $4 billions in 2026 for Model E division. Let's see if Ford... — read more

Please, while you are working, contribute 100% to the HSA. You take it with you, when you're cut and you can invest it, without fees. Fidelity is one but I'm sure there are others. Spend the HRA first and make over 10% in QQQ and VOO with your... — read more

Our 5 day example

Forced stacked rankin
What I was told from an LL4 who quit recently is ford is back to doing the “forced stacked ranking” they got in trouble for in the early 2000s. So even if everyone on your team met their deliverables, they’re picking a few to rate “1”. It’s easy to... — read more

I support "hoteling"
I know it's not popular, but darn is it practical. Think of future layoffs, how much easier it will be and Ford does't have to pay for boxes. Layoffs may not even be necessary with hoteling, all you really have to do is take desks away, or... — read more
Ford expect to sell 100k Fathem - NOT
Ford will be lucky if they can sell 30,000 units. Who in he-l would buy it, only those who are working at Ford.
