Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Bill F and the BoD have shown they aren’t good at picking CEOs. Time to turn it over to those who can.

@f4 you really need to layoff the crack. Is your name tattoo? Do you wear a white suit and yell the plane boss? What has Farley actually done? You throw out all these fantasy island ideas and yet you do not put blame against JF or the board for turing the company in that direction. Instead you blame the lower ranks. Sorry to tell you. JF is not the second coming of Bob Lutz or Lee Iacocca . He is a terrible CEO.

Hacket came in to start clearing pensioners then Fartley took over to end ICE for BEV and dumps thousands of years of ICE powertrain engineering experience. Billy is a eco whacko and has lost his mind.

@t7 has anyone reported this?!

Probably because nobody else would hire him and the Ford family likes having a fall guy to cast blame upon for their own ignorant clueless business decisions.

The only thing I can think of is the Ford family is shorting Ford stock and making money on the slide down from Farley's gross incompetence.

Jim Farley has made significant strides in transforming Ford Motor Company through bold leadership, a renewed focus on quality, operational efficiency, and a commitment to innovation. His efforts to strengthen Ford’s core business while advancing its electric vehicle and next-generation manufacturing strategies demonstrate a clear vision for the company’s future. A standout example is Ford’s Skunkworks program, which is reportedly exceeding expectations and progressing far ahead of schedule, highlighting the team’s ability to challenge conventional approaches, accelerate development, and deliver results. Together, these initiatives reflect Farley’s drive to make Ford more competitive, agile, and prepared for the future of the automotive industry.

Farley has pictures of Bill with a goat 🐐.

Farley is a fail, everyone knows that. He is also a puppet, controlled by the Frd family and laughable Board of Clown Directors. Lets go through all of Farley's EPIC FAILS. F150 Lightning and Mach-E and Model E and the bs of the unethical layoffs of older pensioned talent of 2022; the lies that the layoffs was to fund EV developement, absurd. EPIC FAIL, the AV llc ( Elon has a robotaxi on the streets and Waymo thrives ) yet Frd flushed billion$$$ into Argo. Lincoln brand is laughable, for a CEO that claimed to build brands, he's allowed the Lincoln brand to become garbage ( the entire Design team should be terminated, good move eliminating the young Schwarenegger wannabe, now terminate the rest of the flunkees ). EPIC FAIL for hiring countless rejects, Doug F tops the list. Frd continues to lead the list of top companies with unethical and toxic culture, and you have plenty of reasons why the stock continues to decline. Peaking at $20 anticipating launch of Lightning to a current dismal $12.17. Ok so Farley did inherit alot of garbage after another EPIC FAIL in the form of Hackett and managed one smart move eliminating D(umb) Frd. IMO he didnt terminate any and everyone associated with that bunch of fakes. In a very short time after Mullaly's departure, Frd has struggled to maintain direction and momentum dumping one useless CEO after another under a decade compared to GM's Mary B. So what's next? The products look like cr-p and are engineered and built poorly. Layoffs? Of course, look at the metrics Managers are forced to use. Guaranteed the Fathom will be a messy launch. Frd has lost the EU market to Chinese EVs ( alot of the talent that were the target of 2022 that landed at those Chinese OEMs are having the last laugh ). 2027 is going to be a sh*tshow. So why is Farley still around?????

Ford Motor Company feels less like an engineering company and more like a circus run by Jimmy and Billy, where political favors, corporate fads, and personal connections drive promotions instead of engineering competence, merit, or the ability to run an actual business.

@aj clearly the failings are things like moving a failure as CEO of ucanopy security to executive director of Europe digital services. Their CV and performance should be cause for termination.

@a1

Clearly all of the failings of this company rest entirely on the GSR workforce.

Won't somebody please think of the c-suite

Believe me most of us salary are asking that same question. Then why are so many at the top of the house still employed. Can't wait until the next townhall to have them inform us how we have all failed.
