Honesty, truth, doing the right thing for the company, and following process is NOT valued or rewarded at Ford. In fact, you WILL be punished and harassed into submission all with the support and buyin of HR. Even in the face of clear violation of process, HR will simply brush over the facts, flip the script, and hide behind the manager and say you clearly have an attitude problem. HR is the whipping tool of our bad Ford management. The goal is always to get an employee to give up and become a mindless follower.
Once you submit, you are then considered a model employee. Once I began keeping all opinion, ideas, and feedback silent; I became a top achiever. Mouth shut no matter what you see is the model behavior which is why we have so many quality and launch problems.
Regardless of the CEO, as long as people live in such a high level of fear and stress, things will not change. AND they won't change regardless of how many new "kids" you hire because the Ford culture created and maintained by HR and senior management refuses to see they are the root cause
