5% drop today…anticipating February sales numbers?
A hollowed-out company
Ford is a shadow of its former self. Sure, maybe a few areas are okay, but overall it's been a decade-long decline. If you're young and have skills, go somewhere that actually values you. Unless leadership completely changes, which won't happen, it's... — read more
CAN logs
Does anyone know if we are collecting CAN logs from all the most recent cars we sold and storing them somewhere
Has anyone else noticed how strange people seem at work lately?
I do not remember it feeling like this before. There is a level of fakeness that feels excessive. Conversations that feel transactional. People who can be vindictive, rude, and in some cases honestly cruel. Not openly aggressive, just quietly... — read more

How many people post?
I have a feeling that a few individuals are responsible for most of the content we see on this site. Can anyone guess how many people post regularly? I would estimate it to be around 6 to 10.
When they spin-off Shifty-Co (Transmission Division)
They should make sure that a 14 gear engine is created. The market is asking for it.
So let me ask you this.
I heard most employees will get 50% to 80% of the 130%. Why work hard and do everything you are asked to do and still receive a subpar bonus and a small increase just to get bent over year after year.
Hire and fire continues
As I see hiring I also see forced retirement and cuts for similar roles. Worst thing is they fire you and ban you from rejoining for life! one of the worst way to treat your own ex employees who you called family!!!
Am I the only one who feels like India teams are difficult to work with?
I'm a LL6 in a very tech-heavy area of Ford. Often times, I feel like there are cultural issues where India coworkers don't listen to anybody who isn't above them on a pay grade (i.e. a LL6 won't listen unless instructed by a LL5 or higher). They... — read more

Why Ford no longer advertise the Salary for posted jobs? - End of interest for their jobs
Before the salary range was said, now there some verbiage leading you to nowhere. https://fordcareers.co/LL6 Base Salary is determined based on candidate skills and experience bla bla bla and bla bla bla competitive market value. It reminds me the... — read more
Ford ought to tell prospective buyers that Ford is going to end all vehicle production and focus making money
on repairing all Fords vehicle recalls. That will keep Ford busy with endless business for years. That's where the real money is. Ford can also jack up the cost of repair parts by 125% to quickly increase profits. Say a much sought after Ford repair... — read more

Farley on BoD of McDonald's
He has done such a great job at Ford, he has been anointed into the BoD at McDonalds. The guy is a "1" performer. BILLIONS and BILLIONS of losses in the last few years with this EV bullsh-t and what? Here at Ford, its nothing but applause.

What’s the deal with Ford’s Layoff Page?
What’s wrong with all the posts on this site? This place is a complete mess. Can anyone explain what’s happening at Ford?
Last week I did not come into the office but worked from home all week. I didn't tell my manager either. Friday afternoon I got a email from HR
about a Tuesday morning Teams meeting they want to do with me and that I do not need to be in the office for this meeting. I have been thinking if they caught me or not. In any given week I may see my Ford manager once if at all when we pass each... — read more
