Ford is secure — don’t worry all
The culture at ford is built on zero trust architecture. Where nobody trusts anyone! CYA
Ford has been moving jobs to other countries since 2000.

Hyundai and Honda Making American Manifacturing Ammouncements But No Ford
How come we haven’t seen the push to move Ford Manufacturing to the US to avoid tariffs? Our vehicles must come back home if we intend to sell in the US market. I hope Jim and Bill get onboard quickly with the America First policies.

This company doesn’t care if you’re hardworking or delivering! Got inconsistent in my PR and 1%raise, what a joke ? Reported my LL6 and no luck! Ford speak is another joke!! Anyone in the same boat ?
FLV and Ford Next can integrate Mr. Microphone as a standard feature.

Cannis quit Pro six months ago, but Frick is still “interim” leader. This is supposedly our most important and most profitable business. Why so long getting a replacement? They already hired an unemployed job hopper to be President of Integrated... — read more

Tariff impact of Offshored Knowledge Work?
How will Ford react if, in an attempt to strengthen our economy and bring jobs back to America, the Administration imposes Tariffs on the Knowledge Work that has been sent to India and Mexico?
Stop complaining, take advantage of this opportunity
Everyone stop complaining about Ford's lack of leadership and zero future, take advantage of Ford’s incompetence and make your own future. Do what I did, get a second job. I "work" for Ford as an engineer and can complete all my objectives in less... — read more

That I should have not joined ford. I always knew. When that offer letter came. I knew I shouldn’t have accepted it. I had already seen the signs at that point. I still accepted it. Because I’m a gremlin.
