All the talk about Ford Dealers adding second stickers on new Ford vehicles with huge mark-ups

Low pay vs high expectations
One of our major current issues is that we try to offer low pay while expecting top-notch candidates to bite. Why would they? Contrary to popular opinion, there are still plenty of well-paying jobs to choose from for the best candidates. The thing... — read more

Why do we support so much time off for our H1B colleagues and not those in NA?
Unpopular opinion, but a lot of our H1B colleagues do seem to get to run back home and either work weeks at a time or take weeks off. Yet when I take a sick day I get screamed at by the same folks. Great cross-functional corporate culture.
