"But Stellantis is 5 days" has been the go to retort for any RTO4 grievances ever since they implemented their policy. Look up their stock price sitting around $10-12 a year ago and it took a drastic, steady decrease this year after implementing 5 days with shares hitting under $4 now. Their c-suite is spinning this any way they can but clearly RTO5 was not the savior they claimed it to be and there is proof. On the other hand, GM went 3 days almost immediately and they've stuck with that 3 days ever since. Guess which of the big 3 is kicking our a-s in terms of stock price, employee morale, vehicle selection, and customer satisfaction. Now if you were in charge of the longevity of Ford, which company of the two would you choose to model after, now that you've seen these strategies play out in similar companies.

@1s1 Hey, I didn't catch this, kinda funny. If you spent the time I did working for those a--holes and put up with that freakish behavior...
@1d9
were you complaining about my bathroom use? Yes, you went too much.
Are you kidding me? No, you should’ve went back to work instead of complaining.
Did no one tell you that’s insane? I was your manager, it’s my job to keep you productive
Is that why they watched me go each time? You seem to have answered this yourself
Do you not see the absurdity? Do you?
@1de
I mean really, no one stepped in and said, hey, he’s allowed to use the bathroom and get coffee? No, you were using up too much time on the clock
No one said, hey it’s just an awkward smile? Too awkward of a smile
Do you not see the ridiculousness of that? Do you?
No one had the common sense to say maybe we shouldn’t repeatedly follow the guy in the bathroom to watch him p-e?? We reported you multiple times to HR for doing this exact thing you freak.
You ended someone’s career at a place they called home for the better part of two decades because I smiled, didn’t want to date women in the office, and used the bathroom too much?? Inaccurate retelling of events, but if it helps recover your losses, sure bud.
And no one had the decency to stop all of that?? Yes, we should’ve stopped you from following people around the office to the bathroom sooner.
@1de Did you read someone’s joke about coworker coffee humour and reply 3 times about something they had nothing to do with?
@x8 I mean really, no one stepped in and said, hey, he’s allowed to use the bathroom and get coffee? No one said, hey it’s just an awkward smile? Do you not see the ridiculousness of that?

@x8 not me, can you stop being cruel? I spent a good amount of my life at that place, it might be decent to have some semblance of dignity
No! I want you to go back to working 5 days a week in the office because I want you all to suffer!!!!
@ve bundle up around the coffee machine! Ready to hear about that coworker with a “coffee addiction” during introductions???
I hope Ford goes back to a five day in office work week with open office seating and a tighter dress code. It would be great to have everyone back in the office all winter long.
@b7 I use wfh to work on OF bc hubby’s not home all day 😆
Roz Ho...really brother, that's what your going with? I'm sorry man....I'm just sorry.
Ford paid for it essentially because they make....a salary you dim-wit. Of course the salary paid for it. Now back to your point....um..what was it again?
I don't get it. Retire dude. I mean really. Build your own F'ing robots on your time. Make them cool. Why the he-l would you want to keep working after making 15 million a year for how many years. Take your life back. In your 60's. Mow your damn lawn and sit the he-l down.
DF is not at Rivian. He went so a robotics company. I would argue it is a less prestigious job, but perhaps better aligned with his skill set.
@ q3+1m isnt that how a job works, they pay for your personal expenses
I know some Ford salary employees that have been working at home since 2020. They have remodeled their house, yard, basement, bathroom, kitchen and Ford has been paying for it. Why go in to work when you can get all of the benefits by staying home.
Don't go in the office. They can't do a thing to you.
I hope they’re not benchmarking against Stellantis…
Until there are enough assigned desks for all employees, 5 day RTO is a pipe dream.
@b7 obligatory Friday nut on company time
It’s predictable how many people take advantage of working from home to do their own thing rather than fulfill the responsibilities they’re paid to handle.
You should stay home and don't come to work. It's ok.

I don't agree with one thing in your post. Just hot head fluff. Did DF not think highly of you? DF made all the right moves in Ford, and the BOD is going to pay dearly in future market share and profits with letting him leave. Note he is now at Rivian. Luckily Ford can benefit from the work he did with Skunkworks and Model e, with the UEV coming out.
Roz Ho was a brilliant talent to bring to Ford, and I blame your 'old guard' from ruining that opportunity for the company.
DF wanted rto5 because he was an insufferable pos. Now he is no longer with ford hopefully things will improve. But I don't know if it's too late. Df ruined ford, gm has new cars out everywhere whereas Ford vehicles look stale and boring because we had this id--t in charge of our entire product strategy. I knew he was an id--t when he hired Roz Ho in 23 and boasted about bringing outside talent. Did nothing for 5 years and left a complete mess for the old guard to clean up.
You make a good point.
