When does the new annual retirement lump sum percentage become available?

Do you geniunely see yourself building a career here 2 to 3 years down the road?
Is being at Ford just a time pass for a paycheck or do you actually want to stay for longer and have growth and build your career ( assuming you aren't laid off) Almost everyone I have spoken to seems to just be disengaged and biding their time. — read more

Why is everybody trying so hard to do as little as possible?
I've been at Ford for a year and the thing I realized without a doubt is that laziness is part of the culture. Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the impression I've gotten in the last twelve months. It's a wonder the company is not doing... — read more

JF is a clown
Instead of just driving around the US with your son, why don't you actually take care of your company? Literally no one I know has a good impression of Ford and the people that work here are actively looking to jump ship
People that work on-site more often than not...
What's with people booking conference rooms for large blocks of time and never using the reservation???

What good can come from when underlings don't respect those above them?
LL6, LL5...E band, the Ford (lucky sp--m) club.
I got more work piled onto me ( for my goals)
Is this a bad sign? I was told to add more goals and objectives like a day before it was due. I don't know if I am in a bad spot or not performance wise
Discounting our leading platform F-150
They can’t sit uh holding lots forever (2022 MY’s). Lot Rot trucks gotta go. At least we can sell them, not like the no fix Explorer. During August 2023, there are several Ford F-150 discount and incentive offers available to interested customers... — read more
Wrote a bunch for mid year review , idk if it even matters
I have so much anxiety being here, I have no idea if I'll survive. Seems like everyone else is just doing really well and I am struggling apparently.
How does Ford vet it's leadership team?
How do we get a Plant Manager who has filed personal bankruptcy? If they can't manage their own finances, how can they possibly be trusted to make the sound decisions required to run a major plant? I need to work a few more years, hope we make it! — read more

Very anxious and stressed out

Looks like Ford is finally collapsing under its own incompetence
The #1 most recalled car manufacturer in the US. The meme "if you want to spend more time in the shop than on the road. Buy a Ford" rings truer every day. A CEO who's Ford portfolio is fiasco after fiasco is taking a road trip while a pending... — read more
I have no idea what to expect in mid year performance review
I haven't been told explicitly I am doing bad but I don't get much praise either. Do they tell you "hey you are doing bad and are under performing"? I am planning to just put a whole bunch of stuff in terms of what I have worked on and hope for... — read more

$170K and not a dime less, that's why there is a union in the first place
$170K and not a dime less, that's why there is a union in the first place. Besides, if the executives and management are making the big bucks, then why aren't hard working, labor intensive UAW employees. Executives and management should take a cut if... — read more

If UAW Strikes, Salaried Should Strike, Too
Salaried needs to strike as well and come up with a list of their own demands. Seriously, someone needs to consider leading this.
If I am a Salaried Worker and my Plant Strikes, do I go into the plant?
I will have little/no work to do since the plant is shut down. Do I just drive home? Sleep in and enjoy? What happens?
How is anyone supposed to feel secure here?

TRAINING FORD WHITE COLLAR WORKERS IN CASE OF UNION STRIKE
It's amazing that Ford is now training some white collar workers (designers) to fill in for union workers who may go out on strike in the fall. How can this be going on?
Severance
I was shorted $2000 on my severance payment. Anyone else struggling with being able to contact Ford with questions? Has anyone else experienced a delinquent payment?
This latest round of PR fun seems to be "justify your existence for the LL4" or "what have you done for me lately".
HR, this SH#T is getting tiring.
Timing demands force rushed, short-sighted decisions. Upper management needs to understand the statement "I need some time to digest this."
Seems a half-assed opinion now is more valuable than a solid, succinct opinion tomorrow.
How does mid year perf even work? What is this ford+ thing?
I have no idea how I am doing and its going to be my 1 year anniversary. If I get below expectations, will I get fired or PIP? I don't know what to expect at all
Can someone explain the Mid year Ford+ performance stuff?
I have no idea how it works at all. I haven't been explicitly told I am doing badly. If you get below expectations, do you get on a PIP? I have been here for just 1 year and unsure where I stand really.
