No one cares about the train station restoration. Now, Notre Dame, that's worth talking about! What a magnificent building!
Ford culture
Ford once had a great culture, but what happened? How did we go from being a company people were proud of to this toxic environment that everyone seems desperate to escape? It’s hard to believe we’ve ended up here, and even harder to understand how... — read more
Why tariffs will not help Ford
Yeah, what about all the parts Ford imports to build their cars? They’ll cost more. What about the cars Ford builds in other countries? They’ll cost more. Tariffs are supposed to work by making imported goods cost more so that consumers will buy... — read more

Huge re-org in ADAS not looking so good
Pretty much what the title says. People are being shuffle like cards on a deck across department. It's almost like they are separating people out so it will be helpful to cut entire teams at some point. Any other dept seeing this
So you Ford guys are just going to sit idly why GM gets at the PR News with 130,000 buckets of bolts-built GM trucks that tailgates fall open??
You Ford guys need to brainstorm and figure out a way to grab the free PR News GM is generating with their truck tailgates that fall open. With Ford's stock hovering around 11 bucks these days, Ford needs all the free PR News they can get.
Ford is #19!!! Lincoln is #24!!!

Are those incentives over?
Remember a few years ago when they paid people to quit (2021 I think) or another year they offered to opt out of the PIP process and take severance? I'm wondering if they'll do that again or they're just planning to do layoffs. The company is not in... — read more

Ford Single Handedly Destroyed the EV Market
Everyone thought EV’s were cool because of Tesla. Then, Ford came in and made a joke of the EV industry. The Mach E (mockery) and the Lightening. Just trash. Low quality, too expensive. A joke. Everyone hates EVs now and Ford. BF and JF gotta go... — read more

Failed ev mandates will be rolled back
With the incoming trump administration the failed ev mandates would be rolled back. Finally the abusers of that mandate (you know who it is)who outsourced jobs in the name of evs will payback.
Another week of dealing with the incompetence and lifers here
Another week of dealing with seat warmers and the garbage they have been hiring in India. This company is cooked
“ Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares resigns amid 'different views' with board “
When will we get a headline 5gat starts with “Ford CEO resigns…”
1-5 cuts per area

Rising through ignorance
It's amazing how the least skilled and least informed seem to rise to the top. The success formula at Ford is baffling. It’s almost funny, except it’s more depressing than anything.
