No Executive/ Investor Loyalty

The Big 3 OEM auto manufacturers are no longer loyal to their humble beginnings. Take for example Honda and Toyota - look at stock price and company financials compared to GM, Ford and Stellantis. Toyota and Honda invest in the business and... — read more 

This is not your father's Ford

I wish people would stop defending Ford of today which only shares a name with the great company it once was. Yes, that name used to mean something, but only because there was something behind it that made it great. What we have today is neither... — read more

Office Days

What’s really going to happen if we don’t badge in 3 times a week to the office? I would like to work from home today because I am falling behind on work as I cannot get anything done in office.

Do you all remember GO Further?

I was going through some swags and I found a tablet cover that we handed out at events. It had a Ford Logo and a Go Further imprint. Got me thinking! Can you suggest a new slogan? Be creative!

And I did not think they were in as bad of shape as Ford. I see a lot of Jeeps on the road now. I barely see Fords anymore and every time I do see New Bronco or other Ford I think oh God I hope they don’t have all of the problems that I hear about... — read more 

Michigan Assembly hiring?

Apparently a fair number of new hires for the MAP in Wayne, MI are going through training and orientation offsite at a Ford owned subsidiary place. SO what's the scoop?

Here is a place Ford can save money

Being approached to move without initiating

Lately I've been hearing about individuals being approached by other teams without the individuals prompting interests into the department or sections that are approaching them. I had a WebEx message from a Ford recruiter asking how soon I could... — read more 

Is it me?

43,000 Bronco's and Escapes are at risk of developing cracks in their fuel injectors and the recall is a drain trough and a low pressure warning system? So, first you have to bring your vehicle in to have the non-fix applied to it, and then you get... — read more
