Topics regarding layoffs at Ford

Can subscription sales save us from layoffs?

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

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?

Another reason why no one wants EVs.

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.

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

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?
