The inside scoop on the Explorer: the downtown Chicago plant that produces them is a disaster. From managers down to hourlies, they have all kinds of personnel issues with their employees at every level. This dysfunction is what has caused all the Explorer issues.
The plant is full of lazy, incompetent employees who cannot be replaced due to contractual reasons. Any vehicle being launched/built at that facility is doomed to fail until Ford heads to Chicago and cleans house.

As a Ford stockholder, I find it incredulous that profits dropped 99% over last year, yet they are paying plant workers a $6600 bonus, while we watch the stock price languish at $9. Dividend of 6.5% of little consolation when stock has lost 30% while the overall market is up in excess of 20%, and Tesla stock has risen from $170 to $900. Time to dump this loser.

You should have sold when Mulally left, it started the slide not long after Fields was promoted. The bonus or whatever you're refering to is in the contract with the union.

Bob Jones and that contract Ford agreed to is surely a problem when virtually no profit can generate a bonus of this amount for already well compensated workers. This management team led by Jim Hackett is a total disaster.

I wish I bought Tesla at $250. My friends are raking it in.

Look to your recruiting efforts. The back of the house cannot be blamed for the front of the house.

When are they going to get rid of the CEO. When you have an engineer at the helm the Auto makers do well. When a bean counter is at the helm it means a down turn is about to happen.
