For starters, the commute wouldn’t make any sense. Hours a day I could live or work. I won’t even start on the other bullsh-t. And make no mistake - that’s what they want us all to do. Good luck with this nonsense. If you have any other option, take... — read more
RTO 4 Day Is Only 80% Efficient?
If working at the office is more efficient, Why not have a 5 day RTO to strive to be 100% efficient?
Welcome to Another Day in the Life of Corporate Madness!
Starring Ford Motor Company in their latest 80s throwback reboot: ‘Frankie Goes to Dearborn – Two Tribes Go to War (Over a Cubicle, sorry stool)!’ 🎶 ‘When two tribes go to war... it’s a badge swipe that they’re looking for!’ That’s right folks!... — read more
Ford is not an engineering it's a social club.
How many have LL5, LL6 and Supervision that is clueless on engineer and how to manage? How many have to deal with social butterflies who are lazy and ignorant but love to gossip like school girls?
Ford thought they could just “process” everything into existence
Ford thought they could just “process” everything into existence, that they didn’t need to rely on talent, just a perfect process that was rigidly adhered to. Just open the cookbook to p.107 and follow the directions. If you have a perfect process... — read more
Future of H-1B
Just read an article on Newsweek about some recent comments from VP Vance. Makes you wonder if the jig is up for the H-1B program: Vice President JD Vance launched a withering critique of Microsoft on Wednesday, accusing the tech giant of letting... — read more
It is obvious that Ford has lost their mind. This company cannot and will not
Last much longer. It doesn’t matter how many people they fire / layoff or how many jobs they send to Mexico, India, etc. They have wasted so much money and time on failures such as electric vehicles, DEI and outsourcing anything and everything from... — read more
So you donyt have a desk to sit!!!
Do this to make a point. Since none of us have a desk assignment get in at 6am and take the spot your manager sits all the time. Remember no one has an assigned desk. Maybe when they are looking randomly it might click in!
Compensation Difference Between California and Michigan?
LARO (LA Regional Office) has been closed. Employees were given the option to relocate to Dearborn while keeping their California salaries. How much more are they earning compared to MI-based?
Don't comply
If none of us comply with the 4-day RTO, they can't fire us all. It's really that simple.
Work conditions
Meh, I was trying to cooperate as being hired as a remote worker being forced back into the office, but I think my breaking point was when went to the bathroom at the assigned building I am supposed to badge in at , and the toilet was overflowing... — read more
No space
Ford Land can spin whatever BS they want. Finding a desk and a parking spot is now a full time job. Absolutely ridiculous how few places there are to work. Perhaps they want me to work on a couch at coffee table.

RTO Flyer at PDC
Anybody else see this around PDC this morning? Can't say I disagree. Curious if leadership will actually address this point at the all hands? We’ve been told repeatedly that outcomes matter more than optics — that it's not about how much work we do... — read more

Voluntary Layoffs?
I’m hearing chatter about the potential for voluntary layoffs based on the RTO mandate. Again I just overheard some people talk and am not confirming anything. Just curious if anyone else heard something similar. I know they probably don’t need to... — read more
Upcoming corporate policy
Ford top leaders are enjoying the all-in power and prestige with treating all employees like children, so we are investigating not permitting employees to go out for lunch. Not only will this keep employees at a free-address desk during lunch time... — read more
Good Morning, Mediocrity: A Love Letter to Ford’s Decline, your all to blame

Badge Swipes is more important now
It's more important that you swipe your batch each day than making good quality vehicles. That is all that my LL5 and LL6 are worrying about.
Ford must be running out of vehicles to recall!
We seem to have recalled more vehicles than we have sold. Terrible .
Practically giving Mach-es away now!
https://www.autoblog.com/carbuying/2025-ford-mach-e-lease-offer-july 🤣 Drove by a Ford dealership Sunday and couldn't count the number of Mach-es sitting on the lot. No one wants these things.

Quality
Was with family this weekend, many who I’ve given an x/a plan to over the years, even vouched and encouraged them to get a Ford. Could not believe how many recalls they have each had and how hard (impossible) it is to even get parts to fix it. The... — read more

Badge swipes is the only thing that matters

Today's Word
Pivot
Anybody else request an exemption to work fully remote? I’m about 60 miles away from a Ford office but I’m not holding my breath.
I’ve only heard of rejections thus far. Has anyone heard of any criteria that they’re using? Medical? Distance from their “Center of Gravity?”
