Thread regarding Ford layoffs

@1w9 AI sort of got it right, Next and Model e are on the same plane.
We can expect people to be scrubbing model e from their profiles.

@ar I searched for FordNext, and they sure have removed all traces that it ever existed.
I’ll bet they’ve all removed it from their LinkedIn pin accounts. But this is what AI came up with:

Based on the provided search results, it seems that Ford Next, a part of Ford's larger Ford+ Plan for transformation, is still active and holds a bright future, though its visionary leader has departed.
For those looking for a spot within Ford's transformation initiatives, Model e is suggested as a viable alternative to Ford Next, highlighting their equal importance in the company's restructuring efforts.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

2007 James Farley (still here, and the cause of all these problems)

1922 Lincoln Motor Co, failing at Ford trying to be. Luxury brand for over 100 years.

@OP you missed the train station 2018
Ford took $100s of millions of taxpayer money for renovations
Promised 5,000 W2 taxpaying employees working there.
Nowhere near that
If there were 5,000 people working there, there would be nowhere to park

@1a4 if $3 BILLION per year since 2021 wasn’t enough to come up with at least one viable product, no amount of money ever will be. However FLV departed, it was a good thing for Ford. Getting rid of the CM expense would be.good too.

Fact is, Ford Next had a bright future but wasn't given enough time and funding to bring the advanced ideas and technologies to our customers.

Jaguar, Land rover, volvo, Aston.

@kr before they halted my rotation I checked the super duty lookup tool or whatever and searched my id — this was before my gdia AI rotation was confirmed (but paused indefinitely for the continued behavioral correction torture chamber) — I noticed it actually had said ford next

I had no idea dude blew up the spot through Hermes handbags

I also noticed the site disappearing for ford next and can’t even find any trace of it ever existing but I remember when I saw that set in the system what I looked up my id I was kinda curious and went on the special next site

@ar The name Ford Next is gone, but the people losing $3B per year are now called Integrated Services and all the people who delivered nothing while at Next are continuing that work. With a new President, Mike Aragon, who was able to convince Lululemon to try to sell subscriptions to mirrors. He fits right in and is so far oblivious to the failures on his team. Especially the one who thought he should have that job CM.

@f7 FLV and CM have at least two things in common: they collected paychecks from Ford and they never delivered anything of value.

@dj exactly who were the “entities” that conspired to remove FLV from Ford?
The Hermes handbags?

@g1+1jxjeybpy

Give it 12 to 18 months and then come back to us and let us know.

I'll give you a spoiler, it's going to be another embarrassing failure in a long line for this company

What about Skunkworks in CA?

@f7 If FLV > CM and the insiders in leadership knew this, why is FLV gone and CM still collecting a paycheck, FF miles and hotel points and providing nothing of value in return?

FLV > CM

All the insiders in leadership knew this.

@c0 If all this money hadn’t been wasted, we might still have a $100 million valuation.

@dj So you are saying Canopy failed because CM was in charge, and I agree.
Although CM claimed it was entirely his idea based on the experience of a family member having a van full of tools stolen. Funny thing is it never worked in a van. Or a Transit Connect. Or anything other than a pickup bd, which is useless because nobody stores valuables unsecured in a truck bed. Hopefully Mike Aragon formerly of Lululemon mirror subscriptions is noticing he has a major failure in his ranks.

gotta break a few eggs to make... a bunch of broken eggs that you cant sell, haha

Post ID: @c0+1jxjeybpy

I agree. To note, Canopy could have been a grand success for the company had certain entities not conspired to frame and remove FLV from Ford. That was wrong.

Which one is that cr-ppy scooter?

@by Right, because aiming high is such a terrible idea. If even one of those had worked, we’d be sitting pretty at a trillion-dollar valuation. But sure, let’s keep playing it safe.

:@ac+1jxjeybpy

I'm glad to see you posting here and thank you I was starting to lose hope.

I'm just going to sit here with my jock of my hand waiting for your next success to actually happen

The biggest problem with this company and it's "leadership"is the billions of dollars lost investing in the future while sacrificing the present.

Understandably you have to look towards what is coming but you cannot abandon the basics of building an affordable quality vehicle that people want.

Ford has lost the plot years and years ago.

E-bikes

Autonomous vehicles

All EVS

Train stations

FNV4

How many catastrophic failures does this company have to go through?

I'll say it again somebody needs to get fired and it isn't the pi-s ants who do the work every day

I don't know if the e-bike or the Argo was my favorite but I'm leaning towards Argo

The brilliant leadership of this company decide to dump 1 to 2 billion or more onto a company where one of the principal owners couldn't even get his fat out of shape a-s to put on a decent shirt for the photo ops.

Go look it up it was pathetic

There is a major issue at this company and his initials are BF and he's destroying anything that's left of his family's legacy

The brilliant management and executives are the the problem.

Arrogant, self serving, ignorant, lazy...

Isn't Ford Next also gone?

Senior management here, I'm addicted to buying start-ups. in my defense, they use words like "AI" and "Big Data" in their presentations and it makes me cream my pants every time. The next one will work out, I promise, keep working hard.
