I’ve been looking for financial numbers for subscription sales revenue and expense, not finding it. We used to break our “Ford Next” but apparently not any more (probably because they cost $3 billion more than their revenue). The only active... — read more
Bill Ford is an woke lib and it's ruining Ford
His recent comments about red states not wanting EVs is beyond foolish. Most red states are heavily focused on industry. Ford put out an electric truck that can only tow a boat or camper 100 miles. Is it a political issue if people don't find that... — read more
Kumar promoted to COO
What are the thoughts on timing and consequence? COO has recently been a stepping stone to CEO, is this a sign of things to come?
When is next layoff?
I’m supposed to pay for a wedding and a down payment on a home and it’s keeping me stressed as h3ll not knowing if I can rely on being here in 3 months
Another EV Recall
When is a fix not a fix? When Ford is responsible to solve problem. Ford Motor Company is recalling select 2021-2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E crossovers due to an issue with the High Voltage Battery Junction Box (HVBJB). This action follows a previous... — read more

Apparently Commercials are "Non-Discretionary" Spending
Glad to see the advertising budget hasn't been impacted by the strike. I have seen no less than 10 Ford "All in on America" commercials every Sunday over the last 2 months watching football. The irony of running these ads celebrating the people on... — read more
Bill Ford
Your threats of collapse will not deter the UAW. The world that you benefited from has fundamentally changed in the last 20 years. You can only look in the mirror and thank yourself for all that is happening. First, you make the biggest doofus... — read more
Bill Ford says end acrimonious talks
Lol. Personally I like how he chose to use words the UAW members would have to look up. What exactly is the point of the UAW creating "operational chaos" and "reputational damage"? Wouldnt that hurt their profit sharing checks?
Still can't get the basics right! More Ford vehicles that roll away on their own!

Another reason why no one wants EVs.

Take a Ford related TV break, 3am is Cannon time
Lightening up on the mood here. Anyone watch these old reruns, on MeTV, 3am Cannon and Mannix? Cannon famously drove Lincoln continentals, mark 3 and mark IV, with the cool little rear opera window. Those 2door versions had one heavy long... — read more
I hope the UAW bankrupts this woke company
I'll gladly just take my lumpsum and fade into the sunset. But I want BF Jr's legacy to be that he destroyed the family business because he prioritized left wing politics over sound business practices. It is the only way it can end.
Explorer Recall - been a couple days
Are we getting out of our weekly cycle? Still a big number of unhappy owners. Ford Motor Company is recalling select 2020-2022 Ford Explorer models over an issue with the driveshaft. This recall is related to a previously-issued action concerning a... — read more

Mach-E vs Model Y
I drove both vehicles this week to do some comparison. Unfortunately, Tesla Model Y received the thumbs up. Ford has a lot of work to do in order to compete with Tesla. There is a long list of what Ford needs to improve. I placed the order... — read more

Company holidays
So what happens to company holidays if UAW and Ford doesn’t make a deal? Thanksgiving and Christmas for this year is not released.
Farley s$#ting the bed
Sorry, but I relish in the fact that this doofus is being brought down by the UAW. Smug a$%hole walked on a cloud the last few years. Vintage racing, spreading the EV lie, kissing Ford family a-s, hiring more over compensated doofuses, declining... — read more
Eat the UAW
The UAW is willing to bankrupt the auto companies to obtain their short-term gains. The auto companies should publicly announce they are cutting the top 100 executives’ compensation by 20%. That ends the evil rich executive UAW argument, for today... — read more
IRS interest rate tables/lump sum
Has the company sent out an email encouraging those eligible for lump sum to look at the rates, the forecast drop in lump sum, and consider retiring a bit early? Is the drop significant? 10%?
UAW Local 900 donations
So, local 900 is taking donations to help striking workers. HMMM, why don't the other union members still working and not striking supplement them? Aren't they all about solidarity?

Former Ford Engineer here - I just bought a brand new Honda Civic and it’s an incredible car!

Ford Next dissolved?
I thought I saw a comment about this, but can’t find it. Did Stern really make this much needed correction?
Anyone else feel like they work as a solo unit?
I don't feel I am part of any team here at all. People don't work together or collaborate. Everything is extremely ad hoc
Ford, stop apologizing for poor quality. Don't try to meet the unrealistic standards of
others. Just be yourself, and everything will work out. Others should stop quality-shaming and worry about themselves.
Do you feel secure in your job here?
Or are you considering alternative employment outside
Why are there no in person team events?
While remote is nice and all, if people don’t come in person somewhat regularly, I don’t think a true culture and connection will be built. People already don’t turn on their cameras for video calls. I feel very disconnected and tbh this will make... — read more
