Pioneer Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 There must be an interesting story behind this. In my experience, most inept management is promoted, not fired, as it's easier to get rid of them that way without fear of a lawsuit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzymoomoo Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Wow!! Wonder what's behind this??? In Working there for 2 years before I got the ILO, I can tell you that place is total chaos. Supervisors running around like chickens with their heads cut off, so much radio chatter the squelch from everyone trying to scream at each other at the same time. It's a disaster. And people told me FRAP is a debacle. MAP makes them look like they function like an ant colony. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can speak for, this swiss watch like percision running operation we loving call CAP.... every day is screwed up beyond belief. When you reach over 8K non shippables and change over a thouasand parts in less the a month something is adding up to a total failure and then the inevitable downturn.... This place passes by the point of "I never thought it could get this bad" everyday...... sometimes twice in one day. You can`t run a business like this....can you?

But promoting to the level of incompetence is the favored form of dealing with Ford Motor Co. issues... Decker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatso Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) At Wixom when the plant closed,the management guys got promoted or kept the same jobs at other plants.The head union guys all got "deals" {no surprise there} like no-show jobs or were promoted to the international for passing along the B.S. and acting like thugs if necessary in order to keep the 'regular-joes' in line.A few top-notch 'ball-licker' type tradesmen got safety watch job assignments at a now closed plant.As for the rest of us,,,,,can you say THE ROUGE!Also saw managers get fired for getting too cozy with their contractor buddies,business as usual.
