MERIT RAISES
Anything published?

Like at any point even 10 years down the road?
Are those incentives over?
Remember a few years ago when they paid people to quit (2021 I think) or another year they offered to opt out of the PIP process and take severance? I'm wondering if they'll do that again or they're just planning to do layoffs. The company is not in... — read more

Failed ev mandates will be rolled back
With the incoming trump administration the failed ev mandates would be rolled back. Finally the abusers of that mandate (you know who it is)who outsourced jobs in the name of evs will payback.
Another week of dealing with the incompetence and lifers here
Another week of dealing with seat warmers and the garbage they have been hiring in India. This company is cooked
“ Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares resigns amid 'different views' with board “
When will we get a headline 5gat starts with “Ford CEO resigns…”
1-5 cuts per area

Rising through ignorance
It's amazing how the least skilled and least informed seem to rise to the top. The success formula at Ford is baffling. It’s almost funny, except it’s more depressing than anything.

No idea if I’m getting fired next perf cycle
Better to prepare and look for jobs now before I get tossed out like trash. Also not interested in the peanut bonuses they are promising with the 65% multiplier
