Silicon Valley has a similar work culture. And those with the pride in their work go the farthest around here.
Hardball is not for everyone....
Ford has had numerous issues with their 10 speed. GM has not. Source-I have owned both back to back. I had an F-150 with the ten speed-it was a total piece of garbage. I traded it in with 45,000 miles on it for a basically new (dealer demo) 2023 Silverado, which I documented on here. Between software differences and some internal parts difference-the GM is a total different animal behavior wise. This sentiment has been echoed on various truck sites across the Internet.
All Manufactures have Issues , but when 2 Manufactures get together to Developed 10 speed & Both Have Issues ?
I have to ask Myself what ( H ) is Going on in America . . Volvo has Had Their Issues , VW all of them ..
My Old Ford - AOD that Folks were Blowing Up - I just had Sheriff Shift Kit - installed - Copy Cat
Factory with Better OD Drum .. V8 Thunderbird - Pumped Up 100 hp Ran & Shifted Nice . .
CHEVY - so - Technically Not - but GM - Recalled ?

A few years ago Honda couldn't even make a 5 speed, dumped garbage on the buying public for many years.
JAPAN IS MOST LIKELY One of Best Allies in World & Master's at Innovation . .
Building Their Own ~ F-22 that will be Better then Ours think Plane like F-22 PLUS -PLUS . .
Just 1 of Their Corps are Helping Ukraine - Win War with Drone - Our Corps Only Dreaming about . .
Missile Tech out of UK is also Spot On .. but Air-Craft Carriers are second Rated . .
SOURCE , so We Know of Real of Complaints in Depth or Deeper Details ..
Honda has also Messed Up 1.5T Motor with Tad to much Compression - then - Real Frugal Folks
Drove those very Slow in Winter Time - Never Got Warmed up Properly - lead to Fuel in Oil
Many Engine Issues . . ( Engines were Replaced ) - Not told to Take a Hike !
FORD at Least didn't need Government Helping Hand then ( Turn on Stock Holders & Retiree's )
Seems everything from Industrial Spying to Sabotage - Fired Designers & Corporate Take Over's everything is in Play . .
Quality Suffered Much . .
Luckily many of Our Contracts were Militarily Supported . . we still had many Turn Downs - It's Tough Gig !
Ford Bought , Jag , Volvo ,

The AOD was a mitigated piece of garbage.
Haaa LOL , Compared to What ? M465 with Extra Low - Low or TH400 or Aisin AWTF‑80SC H Series Built in Japan . .
AOD Had to be Tweaked for Sure . . but is Used in so many Kit Cars & Truck Rods due to it's easy Compatibility . .
It did need ~ Up Graded Parts ~
Sure Today there are Far Superior Transmissions ..
Like One Ford Finally Placed in GT350 as TR-6060 6-speed automatic or Tremec TR-3160 6-speed manual . .
Please Enlighten Us . . as I Believe Ford got many of It's Idea's from all " Blue Prints & Patents is Stole "
Or Power Take Over from Companies it Bought Out or Took Over . .
Now , how did Ford go down Rabbit Hole with that Partner ship in 10 Speed must be Very Interesting story
Both came out with Crap . .

Tremec can't design a transmission to save their life....ALL the "good" units were engineered by Borg Warner including the TR-6060 which was derived from the Borg Warner T-56.
Borg Warner used to engineer & produce automatic transmissions before that division was sold to Toyota becoming Aisin-Warner.
It's "emergency department " Nobody.calls it the OR any longerThey have ED nurses? Wow!!

Some of this cultural stuff goes both ways. I’m fortunate enough to fly well and stay in nice hotels. The rich are often the rude snobs everywhere I go … Staff have to perform …

I have had terrible, simultaneous, problems with both a Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher. Replaced with Samsung, also not perfect. Whirlpool in basement has run constantly, except for power outages and six months in storage,, for 34 years, without even a hiccup.
I wish you all the best in getting out @97prizm
I went back into security last year after getting burned out elsewhere. The ineptitude of management was so bad I quit after a month.
That's great for American workers but... GE Appliance is owned by the Haier corporation which of course is Chinese
Accurate. American assembled cars are a dumpster fire regarding QC and cosmetics.
It has nothing to do with money. I am paid very well and hate what I do, because of the quality of the American human being.
Sure but when I worked maintenance they went with actual Haier brand dishwashers. Absolute junk at least many of the GE dishwashers seem to be assembled better. The Haier has such a goofy rocker/plunger design that seems to fail just about 100%.
