Did they pay that Boston consulting firm to develop the plan to try to launder the age discrimination like last time ? How does Farley feel about age discrimination ?

One of the tricks they used was to hire then fire people the same age as people eligible for pensions.
For example, they hire a 50 year old engineer in 2014 then 9 years later in 2023, when another employee was just about ready to collect their pension, they fire both 59 year old employees and claim that pension eligibility had nothing to do with it.
Then of course they back-fill the positions with folks on work visas.
They must’ve paid some consultant to come up with this terrible idea bc ford AND gm both brought back forced stacked ranking in 2024. Its like they hired the same d-mb firm. Ford already paid out $10.5 million in a lawsuit over this exact issue in 2001 so it’s wild they thought they’d get away with doing it even worse again. In 2001 they forced 10% of workers to be “doesn’t meets” and now in 2026 it was 30%.
They’re looking at a bunch of lawsuits and GM is being sued right now too
