I watch to read the chat. I enjoy how so many people aren't afraid to share their feelings in that chat.

Can someone summarize the Special GTH please.
JFs teleprompter reading is painful to watch. At least Kumar does a good stuff of sounding like a human being by going slightly off script.
As an executive at Ford, if you do nothing else, do not take the job of quality czar.
But but but Ford is a top ESG company! Yay!!! Congrats on ruining your company Bill.
You know who isn’t ESG?? Toyota and other Asian OEMs
All
Bill had to do is follow the Toyota model. Their US casting plant is the best in the world.
While Jack the kn--e closed All Ford casting plants and outsourced to south of the border suppliers.
Props to Kumar
JF and his minions kept setting him up as the purveyor of doom and gloom and trying to make him the fall guy when things went wrong.
Kumar managed to deflect the blame to underlings (canning them) and to other leaders.
While I don’t think the Ford Culture is healthy or productive, one can appreciate his mastery and exploitation of a toxic culture.
@ohq+1peir2Nk Nailed it. JF face saving move
Please share this website with JF and BF. Maybe they will understand the real problem with Ford.
Farley has FAILED and by year end he will be TERMINATED. PATHETIC. Within a decade Ford has cycled through 4 CEOs, 3 being miserable incompetent frauds.
Investors and shareholders are finally aware and the stock continues to dive ( it will be under $9 by end of year.
My guess is Kumar or another outsider will be brought in. Temporary fix. Ford's BoD and especially Bill and the rest of the family are either the d-mbest people on the planet or something very shady is planned. They all made more obscene fortunes during the 2008 crash, buying up stock at $1; the Ford family would've lost all their fortunes if the company filed bankruptcy, hence the need to fire sale or takes loans on the company's assets.
Layoffs? The UAW strike has diverted large salaried terminations, but quietly they are happening in small numbers. My entire group have ' quietly quit ' as we circulate or CVs. Farley has LIED. Farley has NO VISION. B Ford LIES. The so-called subscription services and ' Model E ' FAIL.
The idea of collaboration and following process and procedure including cost and timing targets do NOT exist and are blatantly ignored. The Design Studios top the list, silo'd and incapable of delivering. Piakowski, Willing, Leenart, Curic are FAILs and FRAUDS. Look at the programs, all delayed or cancelled and no one is offering solutions, worse, everyone is hiding.
The sooner Farley is TERMINATED and LL2/3/4/5s are held ACCOUNTABLE, maybe the company can turn around, I'm not sure it can happen.
K Robinson, the souless pig also tops the list of DISGRACE. Being the architect of the Boston Consulting list which has terminated older, pensioned and experienced employees that have the ability to course correct Ford's FAILING trajectory. The PIG gets promoted from HR to a Director of Family Vehicles?????? Explain that one, please!!!!!
No one asked why Ford products has such poor quality and it has not improved at all for the past 5 years.
Also, what does JF think about our EVs. There is no demand for Ford EVs. Why do we keep making something that nobody want to buy?
@pii+1peir2Nk That was John Candy, not Chris Farley. Not too far off though.
JF's cousin did better at a shower curtain ring salesman than JF does.
Jf stating he is taking more time to spend with family is soft way for it to be announced later that he has decided to resign as ceo instead of being forced out by bod
JF backing off on talking about his racing and podcast….came back to bite him in the b*tt….some advisor must have told him to stop it, it only took years…. No one wants a celebrity CEO. Just deliver quality products and pay your workers in the US instead of sending jobs overseas!
JF still pushing that EV strategy. When will he learn? What a mo--n.
