Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Here is a tactic for you...

Every time the employee experience worsens, I employ another tactic to lower productive output and/or squander corporate resources to bring things back in line.

And no pride in work where the lion's share of the rewards go to the already bloated senior "leaders". To the contrary, pride in racking up those direct deposits in exchange for next‐to‐nothing.

Luckily, Ford's incompetence in performance management is matched only by their level of integrity so I'll be here doing my thing for a long while. So sorry if you don't like it.

I am committed to optimizing Ford's budget with a sharp focus on maximum efficiency and fiscal responsibility. Where reductions become necessary, they must be clearly framed as the result of executive decisions that created unsustainable spending patterns, ensuring accountability and paving the way for a stronger financial future. I anticipate no favorable outcome, so I look to executives for strategic direction and guidance while avoiding the allocation of resources to initiatives that yield no return and result only in losses.

@OP. Some tactics tend to backfire, and that's one of them. You'll get so used to "do nothing", that when times comes for you to prove yourself, you'd forgotten all about how to work.

I understand where you are coming from, because I do something similar. No more multitasking for me, since I get paid the same, and it only increases my stress. However, I try to keep delivering quality, just less projects on the same timeframe. It will be easy for me to deliver quality on another company.

I just don't waste too much of me dealing with sh!t at Ford. I reduced the red tape load, by delaying my responses. I no longer care if management takes the wrong approach, or try chasing unicorns. I became a cog in the machinery, instead of being an innovator or a technical lead. Less friction with managers, less problems for me, no ambition to be an LLx, and I have already been in the tech position I wanted for years. So no need to bust my behind, and no motivation $$ to do it. I keep doing my technical stuff, and try to avoid/ignore the non technical cr@p.

I know people at Ford that do exactly "nothing". Some are brownosers, and maybe they can find a job in another company where they can keep their noses brown. But some are there just because of their connections, and don't care to learn anything useful. When Ford implodes, so many of those are going to be "Up Sh--s Creek Without a Paddle"... OP, try to avoid that.

@bk You know what squanders corporate resources? Using the company to harass other employees with RTO mandates, stopping at no end after years of ambiguity and quite frankly bizarre behavior, offering no apology, only "you should be grateful"... No "sorry for the harm we caused", zero regret from management and the ones that perpetuate it. It's fu---d up, damaging and low class.

@aq

Dies squandering corporate resources and lowering productivity make you feel proud? I stand by my assessment.

Not anger. Things change when you realize there is no link between your performance and your rewards, and that this place cares nothing about you.
