Since there is not extra bonus anymore... should anyone care about HTHD? Is your job any safer?

Joined at 22yo I will not actually reply. I am just sharing because it has been very exhausting what I have gone through because of cowards . Closingthis page after I hit submit Do. Not let ur kid join

a poor experienced design team with a task of creating a highly technical space vehicle. Now that the astronauts are back on mother earth shouldn't Dave Calhoun get a second, third or fourth chance like most Ford upper Executives do with an offer of... — read more 

I am checked out, manager is checked out and unsure what I am even doing on a day to day basis. Been here for 2 years and really have not grown much if I am being honest; leadership and business is half asleep, there is no growth or direction. They... — read more 

In one leak, a high-level leader accidentally admitted that Ford executives and HR actively monitor TheLayoff.com. After a Field-led meeting, management cautioned, “do not post this information on the layoff site,” implicitly confirming they read it... — read more 

Does it seem like management has gotten worse. Attitude wise, requests etc. Autonomy discouraged and you follow a sort of command control type situation. And there is hellva lot of cya everywhere on all the teams. Rumors of more and more... — read more 

It’s only One page, here are the digitized contents: If you want your enemy to become your friend, create a problem for them and then solve it PG 1/1

Especially on threads where people are sharing their pain. Every thread on pain there is the same bot talking about how great model e is and how Doug field is and it is all vanity. If ford is behind this troll farm then this is even worse if it’s not... — read more 

Do you guys have kids? You have to answer that before you ask.

They come from a clothing manufacturer, they sell stretch pants and subscriptions to mirrors, I’m guessing Board member Alexandra Ford English was involved in this hiring decision, so help will be needed! First, with no automotive experience, they... — read more 

Takes weeks to months to get anything done, lot of passive aggressiveness and a general aversion to working here. People just paper push, warm their seats and pretend to do actual work. 99% of the people here are mentally checked out and collecting... — read more 

Let’s get some jira tasks so we can keep tabs. We can return Friday for our retro to see how it went. He seems to need some help with accountability.

Thursday and Friday were too quiet and lots of meetings normally not done on Friday. team meetings normally held earl on Mondays changed to last hour of the day for Monday 3-17-25. Could it be that firings will take place Monday morning and that... — read more 

I am curious as if anyone actually still working in the office. I did that for a few weeks and now the office slowly getting empty again.

That I should have not joined ford. I always knew. When that offer letter came. I knew I shouldn’t have accepted it. I had already seen the signs at that point. I still accepted it. Because I’m a gremlin.

I’m in the same boat as below OP with Toxic boss… and I have reported to HR

With the Canadian tariffs coming, Ford should shift production plans for Super Duty back to the US? The sooner, the better. Trump would buy a Super Duty off the White House lawn for sure with this smart Ford America First strategy. Engineer... — read more 

New regime took a realistic approach vs trying to ki-l ICE with regulations. Can’t wait to see Billy and Fartley say we don’t want to go back. Guess who will be ok with it, Toyota.

I have toxic boss, Any genuine experiences post reporting your boss ? Is it worth it? Can’t change the jobs due to visa issues… No trolls please…

What products are going to TN? Huge complex and zero products announced that could fill it. Plus they are still hiring. EV’s don’t count for the next 4 years.

Ford is like the mafia. Loyalty is king. If someone sc--ws up amongst us made men, we are expected to look the other way. If you don’t bury it, we bury you.

Build in America and avoid the tariffs. The quicker the better.

Trump bought a Tesla from Musk and endorsed Tesla Products. He will never support Ford.

GSR8 = 12% LL6 = ? LL5 = ?

Looking at all of the indicators, the US economy is going into a recession this year. This is a good reset for the inflation. Get ready for this roller coaster ride.

I sometimes wonder how anything is even running at this place anymore, considering our debt. This is not normal.

does anyone know when we do the pulse survey

Well, Ford’s having one of those days. Eight recalls dropped in one go. That’s right, not one, not two, but eight recalls, all for various issues, from software blunders to half shafts not being properly inserted.

Had inconsistents on review and are over age 50.

Curios about salary, bonus and any other compensation for the typical LL5.

I am no longer giving an effort for only a 2.5% increase in salary; how do they expect to keep anyone with this garbage? Tired of the mediocrity/ trash stock price. Cannot wait to leave this stagnation
