There'll be layoffs that'll be directly related to this decision, mark my words.

Russia is an easy one. Ford doesn't make bank in Russia. What will be Ford's "principled" stance be when China invades Taiwan? Will Billy shutter China operations? Or just stay on his knees collecting cash?
Don't need to ominously mark your words lol. Restructuring talks are already publicly disclosed, even the target goal for cost reduction is out there now.
Yup, Ford (and the rest of the West - after all, when is the last time Ford has actually been first in anything instead of 'me-too'?) has no idea that they are actually isolating themselves even more by doing actions like this. We are a corporation, not a government, and we should be apolitical
Layoffs are always fun. I've had many years of these.
Let's see how the newbies to this arena do.
A big hunk of that could come out he and Bill step down and let one man that is capable fill both roles. Bill has to go.
I did hear big Jim say we need to trim Ford Blue of $10bn? You can guess how that will happen.
