I wouldn't touch shares of Ford even if someone gave them to me for free. Such a sh1t company with no future tbh, stuck here because we have no options
Woke up for early morning AM meeting.. overseas folks cancelled it.
Tired of being treated like sh1t
This is the CEO of Ford....Lol

Morgan Stanley got smart, downgraded F stock
See the results? $0.45/share drop. Now at $10.42. And will be heading even lower now. If this doesn't cause you sell them you're stupid!
Ford F150 is no longer the #1 selling vehicle in the US
Tesla Model Y will be the #1 selling vehicle in USA. F150 will no longer be #1. https://insideevs.com/news/734706/tesla-model-y-best-selling/
When car sales decline," easy fix" recalls pick up. Insurance replaces car sales loss$$$$$
Manufacturers are heavily insured in case of recalls. So when loss of income for car sales drop alot of "recalls" pop up. Notice they are tiny easy fix repairs- no money lost to repair but all straight income. Look at the pattern for yourself.
Are you happy to work at Ford?
Most people I know are half asleep , clocking in and are the most apathetic people I have ever met
Is there a way to get your 401k vesting sooner?
I hate working here and am interviewing actively and want to get out; working here has been a net negative overall
PSA: If you're planning to retire this year
Wait until January if you're planning to take the lump sum. Why? The IRS just released August Segment rates. Finally, after 2+ years, the lump sum value will go up (after Dec-1, 2024). Ford takes the August IRS rates to recalculate the lump sum... — read more
Farley Must Go
Products are boring. All look the same and designs are stale. Family members no longer ask me for Z plan and buying other products. Quality is well below average for a company doing this for over 100 years. Farley talks about it but does nothing. Too... — read more
New "HUB" bldg vs WFH culture
When is the scheduled date for migration to new "HUB" bldg ? Employees prefer to work from home and do not want to come to offices. Will employees come to offices, when the new "HUB" bldg opens .. ?
UAW planned to go on strike at Ford and Stellantis
Can the big 3 get rid of the union? Other automotive companies are prosperous because they have no UAW. These companies are making good quality products at a competitive cost and people are willing to buy. No Union = No Layoffs.
Will there ever be accountability?
Now that the failed Canopy security has been shut down (acquired by Ford 🤣🤣🤣) and refunds provided to all customers for the hardware they purchased and unused subscriptions, when will the person that was heralded as bringing the best new van and... — read more
Health insurance here absolutely su-ks
Cr-p benefits, underpaid , I’m done
WFH is great.
I’m at a car appointment right now, will go and get some Starbucks and hang out with a friend later and then work on my side business in afternoon I love collecting checks , long live Ford!
2025 Ford Explorer
I recently looked at the newly redesigned 2025 Ford Explorer because I am looking at buying a new 7 seater SUV. I must say that I am disappointed with the new Explorer due to the fact that it is still look the same as the 2020 model. Only minor... — read more
We have world class engineers here
Good job, mechanical engineers! Who is the highly regarded individual that approved this mo--nic design? Let’s see who tried to defend this “design choice” https://youtu.be/0SASSFjIt5I
Would you RTO if we are forced like Amazon 5 days a week?
I certainly would not. Not interested in moving to Dearborn to be underpaid, underappreciated and undervalued.
Do you see a future here? Or are you just here to cash as many paychecks as possible
I don't even think Ford will be around in 5 years
Scotty says what we already know. BEVs are not ready for prime time.

GTH today
Did anyone watch the GTH with our beloved leaders? Specially the guy at the end with his questions? Farley and friends looked like deer in headlights. His cds was probably deactivated after that
Ford - Dead Company Walking
Here come the Chinese EVs from Mexico. Ford will die or be sold. Be on the F150 program or perish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGN1ohPDTjM
Thinking about the old days at Ford
I miss those days, a lot. Remember when working here was something to be proud of? Back then, everyone knew the Ford name for its quality and all the good things it stood for, and not the layoffs and failures it's known for now. Those were the good... — read more

What’s your why?
Offshore teams are the most entitled ive ever seen
You guys chose to work offshore and have different work hours yet complain about only having meetings with a small fraction overlap of US working hours.
Rumor: Ford Pro about to be gutted
Cannis was told to cut 20% of Pro heads. He chose to retire instead. The 20% cut is still coming.

Ford may merge with Red Lobster to form a new company, Ford Motor & Lobster Company (FoMoLoCo).
The merging of these two companies makes no logical sense at all. It just might work. https://www.salon.com/2024/09/11/a-great-day-for-red-lobster-seafood-chain-to-exit-bankruptcy-after-approval-of-restructuring-plan/
Cannis Ford Pro
Instead of Ford Pro, Cannis should have been given a new ICE or Hybrid small or mid-size sedan to lead. He would have probably been successful.
Leaders of successful business units do not up and retire
There is more to this Cannis story. He was either hitting on the cute young talent. Or the fleet business is starting to see a downturn. Or he called Farley a fat piece of cr-p I'm going with a downtown. More reason to liquidate your stock. — read more
Cannis “retiring”
The Hunger Games by his replacement candidates have already begun.
Are you proud to work at Ford?
Basically title, the morale here seems low
I have no idea how some people are still employed here
Things take forever to get done , everyone seems to go in and sleep / pretend to work.
Mid Term Evals
What does getting an inconsistent , but overall met mean? Did everyone get rated inconsistent in orgs not meeting targets?
Ford needs to add a third window sticker on all new Ford vehicles stating this Ford vehicle will be recalled three or more times
Why o' why does Ford offer warranties on any vehicle they build. This has become a money pit at Ford. Until Ford wises up and starts selling cars As-Is they will never get back in the black on their balance sheet.
MERIT RAISES
Will it be communicated through an Email similar to last year.
Ford doesn't need U.S. employees any more
