Pivot! Pivot! Constantly but never get anything done

It'd be great to complete things - from ideation to completion would be fantastic. Instead we just pivot. Change focus, regroup, refocus, Pivot! We're redirecting. Stop everything - it's been reprioritized. Blah blah blah I'm so happy to be employed... — read more

No idea who is relocating to work for Ford

Id like to smoke whatever they are smoking to be convinced to come into Dearborn for this company that is probably either going to fire me or lay me off in a few months or go bankrupt

GM & Ford Are Struggling With EVs Again, But Why?

Certainly has nothing to do with: Laws of Physics. Gas/diesel is still king, when it comes to power density of a fuel. Lack of BEV infrastructure. High cost of ownership with BEVs. Range anxiety, safety, and reliability with BEV... — read more

What are the LL2 comps ?

GSR6 here. Was wondering what are the Bonus, Stocks and Options that LL2 get in their packages? Also for LL3 ? For the amount of cr-p I do (50+ hours/week at minimum), I wanted to laugh and pity on myself (sarcastic).

Did You Get Inconsistent on Your PR?

If you got INCONSISTENT on your PR (30% did) and Low Achiever in 2023, pack your bags. Housecleaning coming after 9/6. And don't come back to me with "Name my source!" NDR signed.

If I were CEO

I would Bring back the Fusion or Taurus or something similar. Bring back a 7 seater family vehicle. Make them fuel economical with an Ecoboost engine. Have a Hybrid option available for the both. Watch them sell.

Always expect layoffs

Honest answer should be: Always expect them. You can stay at Ford as long as they will have you if that is your plan. Does it make sense to disrupt a decent paying situation and leave because of the "fear" of something? Likely not. If a time... — read more

So today's 15 minute call was a trial balloon?

See what kind of turnout you can get for such a meeting. So when you spring the real layoff meeting on folks they don't expect it. They think they are slick but they are so predictable.

This company just chases trends and never delivers

We hop on the latest trends always...AVs, EVs, digital, etc and whenever we get to a point where things seem like it's taking "longer than it should" we get cold feet and bail. This is why we need the Feds to ban imports just so we can save face.
