Michigan Assembly (Bronco) Plant Manager Out as of Thursday July 14

I don’t blame him for failures by part suppliers or the supply chain issues.
Bad design? If it’s a bad design, why are you here? People here calling out the Bronco for bad design issues sound silly.
I blame the plant manager for rolling thousands of unfinished Broncos off the line to rot in lots just to inflate his production numbers. Now they have a logistical nightmare trying to finish those vehicles. It’s a unorganized mess,
His fault.

I love my Bronco, also glad I got the premium warranty. Everything is performing well. The only thing that is bugging me is the vinyl wire wrap is unwrapping here or there, on a $47K rig no less
Leaving on a positive, the paint job (A51) is perfect. MGV seats are nice and comfy.
Lots of drama involved in this launch, and so it goes ...

This. Many, many people are jumping to new opportunities for more
In no other industry would laypeople, at the retail level, give a shit that a plant manager moved on to a different opportunity.
Some of you have a lot of time on your hands to follow or even care about a move like this.

Agree 100%. I have 27.5 years with Ford. They hang on to bad employees - salary and hourly - for way too long. They will fire contract workers in a blink of an eye.

My question to this would be why? A few high profile folks are dipping out or were told their jobs were ending this past week. Are these people getting out because they see bad shit coming and want no part? Were told it's time to go but will let them hang on until end of the year + severance? Just horrible at their jobs and it took this long for leadership to make a move? Rolling heads in public fashion hoping the market sees it as them trying to fix problems that impact stock price?
I don't envy the plant manager position in the context of having to deal with the union. I can't imagine the PM has any authority to move or remove assembly line workers so he's basically hogtied in that respect. Have to hope the plant union leaders handle this after it's brought to their attention but after seeing the absolute garbage that keeps coming out of Chicago assembly, believe don't this actually happens due to the protections they enjoy. People don't show, plant managers problem, poor work quality, plant managers problem, low output, plant managers problem. Doesn't matter what it pays, would not want that job.

Something to think about with Ford's direction for the future.

Funny story... Yesterday I told a coworker that the plant manager is out maybe they'll get some little brown nosing executive to take over and maybe our Bronco will be scheduled tomorrow... I'll be danged if it wasn't. 8/15 build date. How about that?"
I wish him the best and I wish the replacement has the authority to improve transparency and communications. 700 hundred+ days of waiting with no useful information sucks.
