The worst place I've worked
I’ve watched managers deliberately sideline top performers because their success made the managers nervous. Literally. They’d rather keep control and mediocrity than promote someone who might overshadow them. It’s toxic and it drives good people out... — read more
No Parking Long Beach Office
Long Beach office no parking. Park in overflow is the solution proceed to overflow no parking. Ford Land was more concerned with hanging curated art vs parking.
Most Reliable Person Here?
Some of my favorites "personalities" that I've seen and have come to rely on for information: The F150 Guy who always has the scoop as he heard it from an LL4 The "it's coming..." guy Who am I missing?

Return to Office. Final Written Warning
Did anyone else get a final written warning after taking maternity leave, being sick, or vacation this summer? Or even after being told to stay away because there were no desks? A new low for Ford.
What’s the point?
They want collaboration yet it’s impossible to find desks together (if at all) or a conference room. Everyone is just on top of each other. It’s beyond frustrating that we have to spend this much effort just to find a place to work. Lots of... — read more

2026 Ford F150 Lightning EV - STILL LOOKS THE SAME AFTER 5 YEARS
I think Ford will discontinue the F150 Lightning after 2026. They have not done anything to make this EV pickup truck better since it was introduced in May 2021. No wonder Ford can't sell it and no one want to buy it. The end of the road for Ford... — read more

No layoff since may
Why is there so much negativity!!! I dint hear of any layoffs since may. Its just people worrying about job. Just get over it we are headed to holiday season soon cheer up folks.
How are mid year layoffs being handled?
Are they offering any severance or pip? It may be my turn at the year end point so just want to plan ahead. I just hope I get a few weeks severance and bonus for the year.
Yes, RTO really is that bad (not the return part, the office part)
For those who don't currently work at Ford, you may think the posts about having a chair taken, restrooms in disrepair, parking lots on overflow, and people camped out in cafeterias that were not made for working are all an overstatement. As a... — read more
Who knew a-s-kissing was a valid career path at Ford—clearly, talent’s not a requirement.
Ford’s crawling with shameless a-s-kissers who couldn’t do real work if their lives depended on it.

Still supporting many incompetant LL5,LL6, supervision. Why? LL4- sure want to rid many GSR but living incompetent, arrogant, self serving employment in their own bubble.

Are These RTO Stories Real?
I left Ford many years ago. I can’t believe these RTO stories. Not enough desks, working in cafeteria, people stealing chairs?? Absolute insanity. Which buildings are like this?
Went to bathroom, came back and chair was gone.
Manager said, that is why we have standing desk. Chair is still missing and nobody saw it being moved. Anyone else experiencing this?
Ford Credit building at capacity today
FN1 and FN2 were at max capacity today and then some. The (small) cafeteria was full of workers using the tables as their desk for the day, folks were working at corners of desks and had to sit away from their teams. This was at 8:45 AM, not 10 AM... — read more
