So we are still going all in on EVs? Even though the market has clearly rejected them?? Ford is dead. Sell your stock. This company will not be around unless Billy Jr goes away. Don't really care how he goes just that he does.
Manufacturing?trades.
Why has no one mentioned how the manufacturing/trades employee's are never held accountable as they get raises, better benefits...
2029 MY Mustang Mach 4
Does anybody else think this 4 door Mustang is going to be a complete flop? With a 3.0L FHEV and no manual, it is a Mustang in name only, just like the Mach E. The only people who will buy it over a Camry or an Accord are id--ts who think they are... — read more
I often ponder my future on the way home after a long dismal day at Ford.
The sheer volume of work communication is overwhelming. It feels like I'm stuck in a tailspin of Jira tickets, Slack and Teams messages, and endless slide decks and worthless meetings. Data is buried on the network; nobody seems to care. The work... — read more
China works on 996 work schedule, in Offices.. Ford Land can not even support RTO after spending 5 billion dollars
JF talked abt RTO to counter China's 996 culture... 9am to 9pm; 6 days/ week. Meanwhile, Ford land's facilities people are busy harrasing employees by pasting "clean this space" notes on non-assigned cubes. Hello ---- who is supposed to do... — read more
The American Car Industry Can’t Go On Like This
"Ford’s other EVs, including the F-150 Lightning and electric Mustang Mach-E, were heavily adapted from existing gas-powered models. Those vehicles are built by cobbling together a hodgepodge of individual components that evolved independently of one... — read more
Ford EV sals number so far
Ford EV sales is down 31% do far this year. A total of 44,180 units through 2nd quarter of 2025. If Ford can't sell 200,000 units per year, then Ford will continue to loose $ from all 3 assembly plants. I hope the extra $3 billions loan will last... — read more
Give your rationale why Ford Land Head should be fired

Layoffs in Dearborn.
Yep, layoffs in Dearborn.
I was laid off twice in two years...
...two different teams, yet I was told I was a stellar performer both times. Both times, the teams were ousted, NA and AP. My total duration was 5.5 years. Watching the whispers of more layoffs is a gut punch, because I saw people working hard and... — read more
It's not about performance
At Ford, once you hit a certain pay level you are marked for exit no matter how well you perform. People meet targets and still get shown the door because cost cutting matters more than keeping talent.
Layoffs last week of Aug
LL5 let this slip today in our meeting. Good luck everyone.
Has anyone ever given a 2 week notice and not been walked out immediately?
Anyone actually work their 2 weeks?
EV's for $30k from Ford is laughable
If Ford can't build a reliable vehicle for $50k, just wait to see what you get with $30k! You'll get $20k worth of recalls or a garage that goes up in flames!

ChatGPT 's analysis of it Model T moment
Based on Ford’s history, current EV market trends, and industry analyst sentiment, the chances of this $30K EV pickup plan going exactly as announced are probably no better than 35–40%—and that’s being generous. Here’s why: Pricing Risk —... — read more
Parking Congestion Around PDC and AEC
seems like a fire hazard. Fire trucks won't be able to get through to put out EV fires the way people are parking. Maybe Ford needs a stern letter from the Dearborn Fire Department.

Targeting those with 24-25 years service again
So Ford is doing it again. Multi-year top achievers getting rated 1's, lowest ratings because they are shy of 30 year mark and LL4's and 5's need scapegoats. Targeting, harassing, when is this company ever going to learn? These people have a... — read more
RTO 3 HUNGER GAMES
If the RTO 3 Hunger games were not enough to pi-s off people lets introduce RTO 3.1 Hunger Games and remove about 1500 seats and close off Rotunda Center and see what happens on Monday Morning. GREAT MOVE FORD.
Layoff Talk kinda Quiet
Haven’t heard much about layoffs. Everything revolving around the 4 days RTO. Usually, there are confirmed rumors but right now there is a lot of silence. Not sure if company expecting people to quit and then see where to make cuts. Like... — read more
What's up with all the Bronco engine problems and recalls
What Ford factory builds the Bronco?
Rotunda Center after August 15
Looks like the Rotunda Center is going to be available to only a select few after August 15.
What do you all think of the Ford Universal EV Platform logo?
It is part Austin Martin logo, part pyramid logo. Cannot decide if I like it or not. Did we hire someone to create this logo or was it free AI generated image?
Detroit FC unveils new stadium next to the train station
This is very exciting news. I’ll be able to walk to an evening game after work. The pictures in the free press are super cool. Corktown neighborhood is going to be a great place to work and live. I’m thinking about buying a condo nearby and just... — read more
Model T over will anything stop layoffs now
After this joke do you have any reason to feel safe here?
Disappointed
Hardly a “Model T” moment. It was telling that Bill was nowhere to be seen during this event. Doing away with the Escape and Corsair for a gamble. What a shame. We need new leadership.
Homer 2.0 Stuntworks, best pack your bunny slippers
Ladies and gentlemen, Ford has just rolled out their latest Homer 2.0 moment and no, I’m not talking about Homer Simpson designing a car with a bubble dome and a La-Z-Boy recliner. I’m talking about Ford exec Homer, the man who has turned EV dreams... — read more
Really Jim?
This was a Model T moment? Are you sure now? Will their be an exhibit at the Henry Ford Museum in 100 years discussing the history of this historical day?
Ford is Replicating Tesla Manufacturing Process
WTH. It's interesting to see Ford, a century-old company, now mimicking Tesla’s disruptive strategies. It raises questions, are legacy automakers innovating, or just playing catch up?
Model T Moment = Yawn Fest
As expected, over hyped and nothing shown just numbers and too much jargon. JF was sweating and DF forgot to wear his bunny slippers. People were expecting something and all they got was this, lame!
This project is going to light the match. I thought the company was already torched
Jim Farley the joke. If he saw china coming for years why did Farley wait till the 9th inning to do something? Incompetence! That’s what
Ford’s next Model T moment - what a flipping joke
Tune in today at 10:15am today for a laugh. Here the smartest person in the room, Chris Farleys cousin Jim Farley, talk about his great plans for success! Just like Jim’s plans to improve quality!
Maybe it's my time
Somehow I’ve made it through eight rounds of layoffs over the years since I joined Ford, but this time feels different. I can’t explain it, just a gut feeling that my luck might be finally running out. I'm trying to stay prepared but I won't lie... — read more

Can’t even go to bowling because my manager thinks he owns my evenings
I recently picked up bowling and joined a league. But my manager loses it if I miss his calls after work hours. I’m not on call, not getting paid, but somehow still “expected to help” because I’m the team's youngest. He hinted I should only bowl on... — read more
