Why didn't JF use this global event to give DF a proper send off this morning? I and all of Model e and Skunkworks are disappointed DF wasn't properly recognized. In fact, the only mention of DF was in the chat. Missed opportunity indeed.

If Ford truly cared about us, they would either up our pay, or let us WFH an additional day each week, to compensate us for the price of gas used coming into the office.

We need another meeting

My last job was incredibly boring but stable. Bonuses every year, clear processes, you know how it goes. I got an offer from Ford two years ago and I thought it would be a great challenge to break the monotony. Now I'm stuck at a place where nobody... — read more 

Working for decades at Ford and living though the slow decline from the most profitable car company in the world to a second-tier floundering truck company gives me perspective on how to use Ford for my benefit. If you work at Ford and are not an LL5... — read more 

When will ford stop visa hiring. It looks like a IT call center. We have plenty of local talent.

Has anyone experienced harassment or different treatment for being g-y, or for being assumed to be g-y? I’m not out at work, and I’m not completely sure what is going on, but several strange and concerning things have happened that make me feel like... — read more 

Now that DF the champ of west coast software talent rehashing old ideas of low talent Michigan auto engineers out, I sincerely hope someone talk some sense into Ford executive thick heads. Ford hasn’t shipped anything of significance since FNV2... — read more 

Say it ain’t so! Are the rumors true?

Wake up people!!!

No idea what is wrong with me if I can't keep a job at a place like this

Is anybody else really fu--ing tired of it?

The work culture has become so toxic. Incompetent leaders and Management who lack to provide any guidance and set unrealistic expectations. At the end of the day they make you feel worthless even after performing and working towards deadlines

Is there a hiring freeze in model e or is it business as usual? Asking because I'm interviewing for a role and suddenly the recruiter went quiet.

Will he do better than DF did at Ford? “General Motors Co. wooed new executive Sterling Anderson with a $40 million hiring package to leave his Silicon Valley autonomous vehicle startup and join the Detroit automaker in 2025, according to a... — read more 

If you missed the Town Hall that just ended, you missed a great one! Both inspiring and sad at the same time as we are losing our best leader in the company. But I am hopeful KG will do his best to fill DF's responsibilities.

They decided everything about the old way was bad. So they changed it all. Constant layoffs now. A reorganization that failed completely. Revenue keeps dropping. All they focus on is cutting costs. Ethics failures keep happening. Promotions go to the... — read more 

For someone who is told to seek another job because their current post is going away soon. What does it mean if when they apply to an internal job posting, it gets rejected almost immediately? No reason given. Hiring manager does not respond.

I’m at the skunkworks, and since the Doug news broke, the mood has shifted pretty noticeably. A lot of us feel like the clock is ticking. Once Farley’s out, we lose our last real advocate for keeping this operation in California, Alan Clarke aside... — read more 

How in the world could the BOD and leadership disrupt the entire transformation plan by letting DF leave and still think the plan can succeed? Asinine.

…isn’t it time to eliminate Integrated Services and the wasted salaries of MA and CM, neither of whom have ever delivered anything of value to Ford?

It’s convenient to blame engineers at every level, but management seems to operate in a different accountability universe—one where failure has no real consequences. At the LL6, LL5 level and above, you see the same pattern of weak, indecisive... — read more 

OK, so I come in, 40 min commute one way, but it's OK. Then I spend all day in meetings with bunch of folks who are not here, everyone is calling in. Then I spend 40 minutes again going home. The whole thing makes no sense, the higher up you... — read more 

Maybe the era of doing nothing and raking in massive bonuses is finally winding down. The only problem is, where do you find executives who actually understand how to run a business properly?

Even though I left ford in July 2022, I still want to post this. I never told anyone this story. Doug field once told me and my team “We move as a snail and bring no innovation” though consistently our team was top performing team. Because of... — read more
