Billy and his team of over paid losers have just put the final nail in the coffin of this once great company. Management have put themselves in this position to be blackmailed by the government and the union. After working salaried for 31 years I have personally witnessed the decline of Ford from the inside. I retired in 2021. The morale and quality has gotten so bad that retirees and current employees are discouraging family and friends from purchasing Ford vehicles. How can a company in this condition attract the best and brightest future employees? I could care less for this company now but I am sad for my former collogues. This great decline has come all under Billie's watch... Good luck my friends.

I think at least 1 of the big 3 will be up for sale in a few years time (or at least a part of one) if things don't turn around. I find it extraordinary that they are getting their collective as--s handed to them by a company that sells the kind of cars the majority of people don't want. They need to quit competing with that company (Tesla), and make quality hybrids, and people can afford. If there is one thing I have learned form being in the industry a long time, it's that the level of incompetency that is rewarded is absolutely staggering, especially at the higher levels.
OMG. It's good to be a UAW worker at the Big 3 now. You can make over $100 per hour for tightening some nuts and bolts.
No high school degree require. These companies are going down and soon will file for bankruptcy.
Ford will raise the price of their vehicles, which no one will buy. Overpaid employees continue to milk and drain the company financially. Ford will have no funding for new or innovative investments. Ford start laying off, cut cost, and shrink down in size. This company will be in bankruptcy within the next 3 years.
In response to @laj+1phNdw6j. It is typical of "Your Type" to pick and choose partial sentences out of a whole paragraph just to make some stupid point. Who knows who you are, maybe a company troll, or just ignorant but take off the rose colored glasses and do some research of your own before disparaging someone's actual experiences and grow up...
Thanks to Ford I was able to retire after 27 years of service. I was proud to said that I work for Ford back in 1995. That has changed, not anymore. I do enjoy my retirement and travel many places. I don't think I can use all of my pension lump sum and 401K that I saved up over the years working at Ford.
Ford was a good company to work for many years ago. Not anymore.
Older people don't sleep like younger ones do ( sleeping through 8am 9am 10am or even noon ) so when older people retire, they post, or if they still work, they drag the younger ones into online meetings at 7am!!!
Well if you’re retire, you still might be getting monthly pension, and HRA reimbursement, or Cobra insurance, so a retiree still does rely on Ford to some extent.
A retiree can also care for the team he left behind and hope the best for them and their families.
A retiree can still critique the upper management of the company and hope for better leaders at the stop.
A retiree should also congratulate Ford when there are successes as well.
‘I retired in 2021’
Thank god.
‘I could care less about this company’
He said while posting on some unknown gossip Ford site before 7am.
Give it a rest.
