What’s the point of skip-level meetings if only 'yes people' are chosen to speak, offering nothing but watered-down opinions? Wonder why Ford is in it's present position.
Product Management here is an absolute joke
Everyone is just obsessed with opening JIRA stories and tracking useless metrics all the time; there is no real work being done and just paper being pushed to show that something is being done Business and stakeholders treat PMs like their servants... — read more
100+ Recalls
Ford blew past #100 Recall without any fanfare: https://www.motor1.com/news/767943/every-ford-recall-2025/
Serious question - do ANY of these people actually inspire you to give a damn?
When you look at who they are, is it “I’d buy that guy a coffee just to keep him talking,” or is it radio silence? Ever come across a quote or story and think, “That actually shifted how I see the business”? Has a single line from any of them ever... — read more
Lost motivation completely
Morale is so low that most people just do enough to get by. I used to care a lot, but now I wouldn’t even mind if they let me go. I’ve started applying elsewhere because this place doesn’t make you feel valued anymore.

Is Ford using "Stacked Ranking" or forcing some to underperform?
Reading GM layoff horror stories on reddit and looking at recent changes to Ford's PR system, along with their incessant obsession with "being like Tesla" is making me lose hope in the company. Once upon a time at Ford it felt like at the very least... — read more

Agency not subject to RTO rules
As an agency worker I'm fortunate to not have to return to the office. I feel for the full time employees but hey its a perk of being agency.

Ford Bronco Concept
https://www.at.ford.com/us/en/home/news-media/news/2025/8/bronco-roadster-silver-lake-sand-dunes.html These Broncos should be ready for production. Only if Ford can build it reliably. I am not sure about the quality, but it's cool looking.

Does ford really need H1Bs ?
Been in Business role for a while now, honestly ford is paying more on H1Bs than a local. If you add immigration, attorney charges $$ goes to moon.not sure why we need H1Bs for these roles which can be filled with just an associate degree#H1B#ford

What's happening to Remote Positions?
I've 3 remote candidates in my team who are in H1B visa, seems like they're unaffected with the RTO. Not fair!
Just saw a headline: The Escape is being ki-led so that a $30k truck can live
So we are still going all in on EVs? Even though the market has clearly rejected them?? Ford is dead. Sell your stock. This company will not be around unless Billy Jr goes away. Don't really care how he goes just that he does.
Manufacturing?trades.
Why has no one mentioned how the manufacturing/trades employee's are never held accountable as they get raises, better benefits...
2029 MY Mustang Mach 4
Does anybody else think this 4 door Mustang is going to be a complete flop? With a 3.0L FHEV and no manual, it is a Mustang in name only, just like the Mach E. The only people who will buy it over a Camry or an Accord are id--ts who think they are... — read more
I often ponder my future on the way home after a long dismal day at Ford.
The sheer volume of work communication is overwhelming. It feels like I'm stuck in a tailspin of Jira tickets, Slack and Teams messages, and endless slide decks and worthless meetings. Data is buried on the network; nobody seems to care. The work... — read more

The American Car Industry Can’t Go On Like This

Ford EV sals number so far
Ford EV sales is down 31% do far this year. A total of 44,180 units through 2nd quarter of 2025. If Ford can't sell 200,000 units per year, then Ford will continue to loose $ from all 3 assembly plants. I hope the extra $3 billions loan will last... — read more

Layoffs in Dearborn.
Yep, layoffs in Dearborn.
I was laid off twice in two years...
...two different teams, yet I was told I was a stellar performer both times. Both times, the teams were ousted, NA and AP. My total duration was 5.5 years. Watching the whispers of more layoffs is a gut punch, because I saw people working hard and... — read more
It's not about performance
At Ford, once you hit a certain pay level you are marked for exit no matter how well you perform. People meet targets and still get shown the door because cost cutting matters more than keeping talent.
Layoffs last week of Aug
LL5 let this slip today in our meeting. Good luck everyone.
Has anyone ever given a 2 week notice and not been walked out immediately?
Anyone actually work their 2 weeks?
EV's for $30k from Ford is laughable
If Ford can't build a reliable vehicle for $50k, just wait to see what you get with $30k! You'll get $20k worth of recalls or a garage that goes up in flames!
