Did anyone see what they did today to the home page?
And I guess for your information Phoebe because I know you're probably still lurking around this board. ;) For the record, I think your DPS6 reporting was generally along the right lines, but a little unfairly sensationalized. Listen, EVERYTHING in this company is marked "Ford secret." So the fact that some of the documents were marked secret does not in itself mean much.
Anyway, I digress... There were dozens of employee comments in response to the response Ford posted about the freep DPS6 article. Frankly I have never seen employees publicly eviscerate Ford like that in the comments section of the homepage. There was comment after comment saying how the response Ford posted was inadequate and shifting the blame onto customers and Getrag. And then, about half way through the day today, all the comments were wiped out, and further commenting was disabled.
What a load of BS. You know what the best way to get your employees to hate you? Feed them a bunch of garbage that doesn't own up to the problem you created, and then when they call you out on it, censor them. This company seems to lose its way more and more every day. Maybe this could be a small thing for some, but for me it really cuts deep and shows the company's true nature. They don't seem to be willing to listen to anything the employees have to say any more.
I've never even owned a DPS6 car, but the way Ford treated the feedback from employees today is disgraceful and a slap in the face. They had better come up with a public statement acknowledging that their own employees are angry, and what they're going to do to regain OUR trust. But I'm not holding my breath.
