They're the source of all our problems. How much major damage do they have to cause before someone acts? They're the ones who need to lose their jobs.

@n0 That's actually really softened and nice. With AI, it understandably could have been written in a much harsher way, picking apart and critiquing the original writing and perhaps leading it into more prejudicial territory, especially when AI is only reading that text on its own. AI, of course, doesn't always have the full context. Instead, it held back and chose to be genuinely patient and kind, or maybe that was you. Either way, thanks for sharing.
"Cherish the pockets of kindness that still exist." I too think that's the most important part to remember, especially the reminder that those pockets of kindness still exist. Discernment and slowing down are skills that would benefit greatly here.
For example, someone with a badge might have once represented safety, trust, and someone I could rely on. But after experiencing situations where authority or professional roles can be misused, that automatic assumption of trust changes. Discernment means recognizing that a title or position alone does not guarantee someone's character.
Understanding the boundary between personal and professional life is only one part of it. Professional obligations shouldn't be allowed to overtake someone's personal life or erase their humanity outside of work. That boundary also has to be respected from the other side. People should not have to tolerate having their work taken credit for, being smeared, being misled, being lied to about employment terms, or having their reputation damaged through dishonesty, especially after they have already had to spend their own time and resources gathering evidence to defend themselves against the harm caused by those actions.
It becomes even more damaging when someone has already gone through that process and then keeps getting abused again when they attempt to address the previous harm done to them. It becomes a mountain of stuff you try to address. Which was their strategy internally in the first place. A person cannot cause harm and then use the consequences of that harm as evidence against the person affected. It's a cycle that is designed to exhaust you. They mentally hazed me inside ford and tried to validate ways to hurt me outside of Ford. These people are literally applying militaristic strategies designed to try and break me. I am literally telling you these people are not normal corporate life. These are people are invading my personal life and breaking laws, they successfully we-ponized to police and taught me a lesson so I cannot go to them or the FBI. Because this is lawfare. They won't let me have my life back. I thought corruption was only things you'd see in movies and T.V shows, not real life.
These people do not have the right to harm someone's personal life through professional misconduct and then claim the moral high ground while ignoring the damage caused and refusing to take responsibility for how they responded when confronted. That kind of behavior undermines any claim of professionalism or integrity.
"Success lies in understanding the boundary between private and professional life."
The irony is that this sounds reasonable until you consider situations where the professional environment itself is what impacts someone's private life. What does "private vs. professional" mean when a person's work, reputation, livelihood, and personal well-being are all affected by actions taken within that professional environment? It is absurd. These people literally te--orized me in my personal life. It's not some normal healthy workplace. This place is dangerous. They are professionals in emotional laundering of what people have made a joke about, human trafficking. Not to mention people who weren't good friends that I had distanced myself from using this opportunity to further cause turmoil on here when they don't know the extent of what I meant by human trafficking. Btw, if those people are reading this, I made the best decision removing you from my life.
Anyway, I could nitpick it and start suggesting corrections, but I don't think that's necessary because you're choosing to ignore real crimes that happened to me which means this isn't a good faith response. Unless you don't know the mistakes they made which is why they have been hurting me for years in now. I'm 26 now. I left when I was 23 years old. They never stopped retaliating. Maybe the "kind ones" with badges should finally investigate people with the badges and look into fully understanding the abuses that have been done to me that they are covering up and why they keep hurting me. Look at everyone who acted d-mb, enabled it, were involved. Look at them. You have so much to work with now!!!
If it's the kid he's on one heck of a long hot pocket nap.
@hy From AI - The original sentiment is raw and passionate, but the language is overly aggressive and informal. Here is a rewritten version that maintains the core message about professional boundaries, the harsh reality of capitalism, and the value of genuine connections, but with a more constructive and articulate tone:
While the environment can feel unyielding, it is important to recognize that corporate structures often prioritize business over individual feelings. As others have noted, no one here truly owes you personal care; instead, we must learn to navigate the realities of capitalism, where professional survival often feels primal. We all seek a simpler life, meaningful work, and the ability to care for our loved ones, yet this workplace rarely accommodates those needs. Success lies in understanding the boundary between private and professional life. Identifying the decent, good-hearted individuals amidst the chaos is a crucial skill; I always choose genuine friendship and good people over superficial socializing. The world is not inherently kind, but the key to navigating it is learning to locate and cherish the pockets of kindness that still exist.
@m7 I don't think the downvotes were from the ex. I think they were from the people he was confronting, not from the softer issue of someone adding turmoil. Unless you mean the ex symbolically representing their school or company, or friends of either one.
@m6 Doubt his crazy ex gets much sleep these days.
@k2 They're up late at night to downvote a kid 6 times? Interesting commitment
@js the kid
@hy sorry you had to deal with that welcome to the real world
@hy No one cares at Ford, read the room, evil corporation, just be happy you’re in a better place now.

I think one of the hardest things for people to accept is that this place presents itself as a society built on free markets, privacy rights, and individual freedoms. The biggest lie ever told, next to "merit." Those ideals are constantly promoted as foundational values, but there is a deep gap between what is promised in principle and reality. My biggest regret was listening to and trusting my own mentors and believing our institutions were good and honest people, not manipulative and self-serving. I'd rather just have a simple life, but I also have people in my life I intend to take care of and provide for. I only plan to build to a point where I can secure a comfortable life for those I love and then I'm done with this stuff. I used to build out of passion. That passion is officially gone. I wish I never said I was going to do great things and have a voice one day, because I don't even care anymore after what I endured for saying that. I was determined to focus on my craft, only to have them retaliate destroy any sense of focus I had. To the people who know me that I distanced myself from out of self-love/self-respect, I hope you grow up and choose to live a better life where you learn to move on and leave people alone. Dealing with random people on top of real crimes these people were committing to mess with my life all because I spoke up. Read the room, I was dealing with / am still dealing something serious. If I told you the things they did to me, you would never believe what I've endured, including things I endured as a kid myself without realizing these same people were responsible for abuses back then. It's legit some mental hazing experiment sh-t. I don't know why this has been allowed to continue on for so long. I swear this is some CIA torture sh-t I've been dealing with.
Damage to some people is already done. It’s not always management. That’s the worst sometimes it’s coworkers.
Jim Farley is not a good CEO, he knows very little what people want and Fords become a Recall Giant . Fords a mess with one car plus moral at its worst. Fire Farley and get a Real CEO that knows something about cars and trucks. And don't let Bill Ford do anything but go to events..
As long as Fartley and Billy are involved the company will continue to make bad decisions and flounder.
