What I was told from an LL4 who quit recently is ford is back to doing the “forced stacked ranking” they got in trouble for in the early 2000s. So even if everyone on your team met their deliverables, they’re picking a few to rate “1”. It’s easy to point to badge swipes or someone being a remote worker as a reason to rate them a 1, especially on a team when no one actually deserves a 1. Ford has gotten increasingly toxic as a workplace. Keep your resume up to date and never stop applying externally. 4 days required in office is draconian and a lot of the best talent has already left
