Thread regarding Ford layoffs

How can I grow 3-4 levels in few years?

Saw one post here, about one LL3 of Cloud Platform on how he got many promotions super fast. I thought it was some fake post but when I investigated and found out that this LL3 (J Was...) really climbed up this organization ladder super fast. Below are the timelines.
Ford contract employee between 2015 - 2017.
2017 - 2018 - GSR 7/8/LL6 (Not sure on which he was hired full-time)
2018 - 2019 - LL5
2019 - 2021 - LL4
2021 till present - LL3

This is really impressive. His department people mentioned that He is neither an excellent technical leader nor a good manager. So getting promotions is accessible without having solid skills.
People from the same department said that he promoted a few people like (W Fran.., B Pel..., and J Sch..) super fast and they were also able to climb the organization ladder very quickly.

How can I also get promoted super fast? Please advise.

Step 1: Be willing to lie. All the cool kids are doing it - why not you ?
2: Learn how to stab people in the back without being caught as you steal their productive work and take promotional credit for it. Later you will advance to stabbing select organ areas (always sneaking rom behind) and twisting to induce the most pain/damage as you pretend to be their friend, etc.
3: Keep repeating the propaganda upper management rolls down hill to everyone - They simply do LOVE that.
4: Do not, I repeat DO NOT exist as a White Male of Faith (WMF). WMFs simply no longer qualify . . .
5: The new 'fast track' political pipeline against We The People is going Trans so I therefore recommend gender therapy - C'mon - get with the times !

@hlw+1oAO4FWz LOL, Volvo Buy Ford. More like the Chinese company Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co that owns Volvo will buy Ford. Then that will open the flood gates and destroy the rest of the domestic OEMs.

It’s called luck or they have a guardian angel pulling them up. It doesn’t happen with doing the best job.doing the best job just keeps you in your position as you are the unreplaceable cog until your replacement is found.

If under JW, you have to drink cheap beer, eat cr-ppy fastfood, and laugh at his d-mb jokes. Also doesn't hurt if you're a hot young woman.

If you check the boxes he'll have you at LL4 in 2&3 years.

I knew a person who went from agency to LL4 in just 4 or 5 years. This person was not particularly talented but could talk a good game, spoke with great confidence even when they had no clue what they were talking about and had an LL3 who loved them. This person was attractive, polished and well dressed. I worked closely with them when they were an LL6 and they frequently made comments like “fake it ‘til you make it”, “dress for the job you want, not the job you have” and “say anything with enough confidence and people will believe you”. They would become combative if someone disagreed with them and would hold a grudge forever. They loved the “yes” people. It doesn’t necessarily take talent to climb that fast but it does require a specific type of personality. If you can live with that level of “success” while having zero respect from your team go for it.

Much better off working with another car company than Ford. Volvo may buy or merge with Ford by 2027. ~ 5 years or so

It helps if your name is on the side of the building. Just ask Elena.
