The Clown Factory

[Bossxr8]

With the recently announced reduction in production numbers and the 350 job cuts that come with it, plus the huge number of down days over the next few months, I want to know when the big salary upper management, product planners and sales and marketing people are going to take responsibility for their failures. They have done an absolutely pathetic job of promoting the new Falcon, the sales figures don't lie, especially wen you compare them to VE sales. The FG is the best locally made sedan on sale, yet it is being slaughtered by an inferior product that uses more fuel to boot. The solution is always to cut the throats of the workers on the floor who have done nothing wrong, when the clowns in charge of the big decisions continue to make great wads of cash for screwing the company and pushing it to the brink. When are these people going to held accountable. If Ford are going to succeed into the future they need to start cleaning out the dead wood and make these clowns accountable for their actions. While the workers are sent home on half pay I bet that these people do not lose a cent of pay when they are the ones to blame for the problems.

They can keep blaming fuel prices and economic conditions for the lack of sales till they are blue in the face, but when you are nearly outsold 2 to 1 by your inferior competitor then you know they have stuffed up. Letting the Territory wither and die by not spending a cent on any upgrades for it is another one of their massive mistakes. Do they enjoy sitting back and watching the company slowly die or is it a case of not caring. The company will never succeed with these people in charge, its time for change.

Detroit can also be held accountable for continuously denying the Falcon and Territory an export market. They keep saying we have a plan for exports for the Focus, but that will do nothing for the Falcon/Territory because sales will soon get to a point where they will no longer be able to justify any investment in the product and it will slowly wither and die just like the Fairlane. Do Detroit even care if that happens? Surely a profitable Ford Australia is a huge benefit for them. If they continue to deny them an export market I can't see how the market will continue to provide enough sales for them to continue with the way things are going.

Whats the solution?
