Didn’t take he4 two full years to decide to spend more time with actual family:
Annie Liu, a former head of supply chain, battery and energy at Tesla who joined Ford Motor Company last year, left her role with the Dearborn automaker this week.

I was told by an LL3 many years ago at the start of every project to
- identify your scapegoats and enact a plan to lay the groundwork (paper trail) to successfully attribute failure to them. You need more than one non-worker bee as your primary target might surprise you and you will twist in the wind.
- over staff up so you will have additional sacrificial lambs (low level workers)
- where possible hire external leaders and take any useful knowledge from them before firing them
This led me to be wary and if I could not readily identify the scapegoats in any project, I realized I was the target and quickly got off of the project when I could, if I could not I laid public paper trail so deep that an alternate target was chosen.
JF is just doing the Ford thing. Hire to Fire.
Note that the main leadership team never changes no matter what happens with financial results or product quality. The one constant is Farley and his team. Find a way to blame your engineers or pin it on the sacrificial lamb.
If Ms Liu was not aligned with DFs strategy, give her DFs pay and get her back.
@1jou+1llcZWbA. Good luck dumping your stock shares. I don't think pumping DF's plans on the Layoff will help much, though. Everyone on here knows better.
People here are looking into this way too much. Liu (likely) just was not aligned with Doug Field's vision and strategy for Model e and the company. That simple. The Ford+ Plan needs to have all leadership levels on-board to the great success and benefits that are in store when objectives are met.
Ford is continuously changing and regorging to appeal to wall Street, but just causes chaos every where. Farley will be out by the end of the year.
1st domino to fall……
Ha ha…instead of hiring within with experience they hire outside id--ts. If you don’t know how to get around the red tape you get caught up in it. Don let the door hit you in the azz.
She didn't stay here long enough to do anything positive or negative. Probably just a scapegoat for ongoing failures or had enough of the dysfunction.
Where is the guy who posts about DF and his best in class team? This is just one example of the dysfunction created.
She did a cr-p job.
Good riddance!
Scapegoat for problems
She’s not “spending time with her family.” She was fired over the battery issues.
Annie Who?
Kind of like being the head coach for the Detroit Ford Lions…
Hope that guy DF also leaves instead of pocketing millions and blaming failures on others
WOW!
She only lasted 7 months.
“Liu's affiliation with Ford is not mentioned in her LinkedIn professional profile.
She does list her 15 years at Microsoft and nearly 3.5 years at Tesla, which ended in May 2020.”
Good move, claim you took a two year sabbatical instead of admitting you worked at Ford 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
