RTO and commuting is destroying my sanity

Chinese vehicles are finally coming to America
I can't wait to see the dealerships established in the US. I would love to buy some Chinese vehicles for sure. I drove them in Asia and EU, they are so much better than US made vehicles.

I know I need to leave this place, but I have no idea when I'll finally get the chance.
So on Friday I was pretty much asked if I was going to retire or just plan to stay until I am fired.
That was at Ford Credit. What a bunch. Unfortunately I cannot retire right now so I guess I will be on the chopping block Monday morning. Had great reviews until this came up. What a pathetic bunch.

Does anyone remember when it was cool to work at Rawsonville?

Stopped to take a 2 minute call, came back and the post was deleted. Whoever deletes posts here is making this site worthless. Either it is an anonymous layoff forum, or it’s a censored site. Can’t be both, I’ll stop visiting.
Managers here are a joke

No empty talk, no posturing. If they offered me a package, I'd take it in a heartbeat. Fifteen years ago, I joined the company of my dreams. Today, it's the one of my nightmares and I can't wait to find a way out.

Ford should rotate managers, supervision... around or bring quality talent from outside to change the culture.
