fmco76 Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Jim Farley did a podcast last week and said, he did not want to give up the EV-SUV from China, he has been driving the last 6 months. He praises this vehicle. Where is Bii Ford! Where is the Ford Board of Directors! Why hasn’t Sean Fain blasted these comments. Fire this bum now. He has done nothing for Ford in his tenure as CEO. The company stock has been dead money for 25 years. Google, Farley comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistonPete Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 While I don't have a problem with Farleys' comment about the Chinese EV, I agree he has done nothing for the Ford Motor Company. Quality of Ford products is so bad I actually used my wife's GM employee discount and bought a Chevy. They fired Joe Heinrichs for the horrendous Explorer launch but Farley is still there. I finally had enough and bailed on my Ford stock at a loss. GM and Mary Barra are kickin' _ss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decker Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 Isn`t this the trend, in the Ford process, how many hold positions and have very little if anything to show as accomplishments for the company or employee`s or for the stockholders? Farley is just another golden parachute recipient waiting to jump. Just possibly, he was mugging for the Chinese Corp. that builds the unit he thinks so highly of, in hopes of a safe landing after he open`s the golden parachute? After all these year at one Ford facility, in one department I have seen for a decade or so, and it continues today the complete elimination of the need for accountability or pride in what an employee accomplishes. So really Farley is just another in the line of non-leaders since Mulally left. Then there is the union leadership, (leadership?) he is way too busy selling a candidate to voice any company opposition. One thing for sure many of the union membership see right through his candidates lack of accomplishments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So really Farley is just another in the line of non-leaders since Mulally left. Sadly, this is not just a problem at Ford. Today’s society does not appear to be interested in accountability for their actions. It’s always somebody else’s fault. So far, I have yet to see what Farley has brought to the table. There may very well be things that he’s done that I’m not aware of, but I just haven’t seen it. In my opinion Mulally was the last great Ford leader. He navigated the company out of its death throes and introduced the concept of one Ford, which did not appear to be adhered to after he left. This is a short article on Mulally that I thought was pretty interesting: https://www.kornferry.com/insights/briefings-magazine/issue-20/alan-mulally-man-who-saved-ford 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmco76 Posted October 26 Author Share Posted October 26 Mr. Farley seems to be more interested in racing cars than running this co. His and Bill Ford decision to go all in on EV’S might be the end of Ford. The best thing Bill Ford ever did was fire himself as CEO and hire Mulally. It time for the Ford family to take their hands off of this company and sit back and collect their quarterly dividends. If not, there might not be any dividends to collect soon. Hey UAW, your silence is deafening!!! For people who don’t have a problem with Farley public comments ( not private comments) you can’t complain when they start selling here in the states. The CEO of Ford basically said, buyers want a quality product at a good value that they love. This would be like the CEO of McDonald’s saying he loves eating at Chinese restaurants.

If we take Farleys' public comment about the Chinese EV advancements as a public warning to Ford Motor Company employees and the entire auto industry to this latest threat to the future existence of many of the current auto companies we can hope everyone is listening. We shrugged off companies like VW, Toyota, Honda and Datsun as nothing to be concerned about. More recently I can remember sitting in Quality meetings when Hyundai/Kia was at the bottom of the graphs, almost off the charts in quality. I can also remember a quality meeting that was only a few years later and Ford was hugging the bottom and Hyundai/ Kia was on top. Hopefully all of the automakers are paying close attention to this lastest threat from the Chinese EV to there very existence more closely than they have in the past.
