I mean, this is the free market at work.
If these FCG hires are landing positions at other places that actually value them a lot more as workers, while taking all of their training that Ford paid for with them, then that's Ford's loss.
@1gue I agree, but many of the FCG's also have unrealistic expectations and inflated opinions of their abilities. I liken most of them to being the freshman on the football team trying to tell the coach how to run the show. The coach will tell them to put down their teddy bear away and wipe the chocolate milk off their face before they run their mouth.
20% is not correct. It's more like 50%.
Most FCGs and new hired salary employees leave the company after a year or 2. They found out how screwed up this company is so they left.
I’d say 20% is a low number. I bet it’s more.
Customer service reps do not stay long.
"You people should never work for a company that degrade your knowledge and skills. "
The above statement is spot on target referencing Jimmy thinking older experienced cannot learn anymore, have no knowledge to transfer, are complete id--ts.
While there's always lazy people in large companies Ford has/had experience smart, knowledgeable employees even retirees that would work one to three days a week to train the inexperience. Ford doesn't want this because they want to hire outside the USA. Tell me again why a person should purchase a Ford or a GM???
Many of the new engineers quit because they want to be promoted every 6 months and want to make $200k a year right off the block. The mind set is a kid playing a video game where their brain needs to be simulated constantly or they become negative. The interesting part is they hardly work and spend most of their time at home, playing video games or on the phone.
Most FCG leave the company after a couple of rotations. They accomplished nothing, learned nothing during their rotations.
I am glad they recognized how screwed up this company is. The only ones that are left are the ones that's waiting for their retirement.

Yeah...I'd say that's about right. Concur on the FCG quit rate. They get to witness how things flow and then say sc--w this and bounce. There are plenty of other places they see as more worthy of their "hustle years".
20% seems low. But averaged over the entire salaried work force I’d buy it. I read somewhere that US average is 18% of salaried workers quit within a year of being hired.
The FCG quit rate has been increasing especially in software and technology. 50% quit rate in high demand areas. Of course that is all papered over with averages in leadership presentations.
Time to leave to "let the team fly".
