it’s all basackwards...............literally
Is there a Darwin Award for corporations?
That photo is just plain nasty.
Give Ford all the tooling and prints to build a Toyota for you and thet would still deliver a pile of junk.
I was a Ford man all my life... until this. The last three being a car and two trucks. I now own a Chevy truck and a Plymouth Van.
It’s worse than that.
Ford makes a car in Europe and the rest of the world, called the Mondeo. It outsells the Toyotas in its class by not a small margin, it gets rave reviews from the press there, and it’s a great little car.
They brought it over here, changed the looks a bit to make it fit in with their current product lineup, and produced it in the USA.
That car was sold here as the Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique and it was one of the most poorly built, shoddily assembled cars sold on the US market at the time.
So, Ford can bring a proven good design over, and the UAW will manage to screw it up.
No more possibilities of PMS if “changing” to a male? Sorry, it’s the best I could do. :)
I think there’s a really bad “Dicksey Chicks” joke in there somewhere and I will NOT look for it. :)
I have a 2002 Chevy Stepside and a Harley davidson and a plane.
No Fords here now or ever.
It's all in the punctuation! Take a breath! ::grin::
Don’t be to sure on the lack of PMS. I think I know a few guys who PMS!
Hey everyone, let's LIMBO! ::music in the background::
LIke, do the trannies come with warranties?
Ah, yes. In our pansified society, this is the case. By the way, PMS401 sounds like an upper level college course in LGBT studies. What is this world coming to?
If you look at the report, Ford does NOT pay for any surgical procedures. They do allow for short term disability, hormone therapy, and mental health counseling.
By comparison, Toyota pays for short term disability, but does not provide therapy or counseling. They join Ford in not covering surgery.
Toyota also provides joint and survivor annuities for domestic partners, including pre-retirement... a benefit Ford does NOT provide.
GM provides the annuity post-retirement, but not pre (unlike Toyota), and GM also covers surgical transgender procedures. Chrysler matches these benefits.
In other words, Ford provides less benefits than GM or Chrysler. They also provide different benefits than Toyota (arguably lower $$$ value).
In fact, if you look at all the auto companies, Ford offers arguably among the least benefits of the major companies.
But don’t expect Wildmon to tell you that. He’s only concerned in what will win himself publicity.
So in your effort to avoid Ford because of this, you actually switched to GM and Chrysler, who actually do pay for surgeries and offer survivor annuities to domestic partners, two things Ford does not do?
Talking about cutting off your nose to spite your face...
But the AFAbots don’t care about logic like that.
They don’t even bother to see the surgery isn’t covered by Ford, and that almost everything Ford covers in this respect is also covered by Toyota.
Or that Toyota offers survivor annuities to domestic partners, something Ford doesn’t. That is no doubt a much larger $$$ commitment for Toyota than for the few hormone pills Ford covers that Toyota wouldn’t cover....
I was totally shocked that Volvo would advertise in a gay magazine! I thought Subaru had that market locked up!
“Ford offers medical benefits to help pay expenses of those who choose to undergo sex change operations. Ford pays for mental health counseling, hormone therapy, medical visits, and short-term disability after surgical procedures for employees who desire to change their sex.”
This is a flat out LIE! I just completed a full review of ALL of the medical plans offered by Ford and there is no mention of this policy in ANY of them. Of course, it could very well be part of the typical HSA/FSA plan, which allows any medical consumption to be used with pre-tax dollars. If this is what is being referenced, then every company that offers the savings account options also offer the same benefits.
The more I see of the AFA and their lying, the less credibility this group has and now they are about down to zero credibility. I look forward to the FReepers that celebrate the AFA’s lies.
“How can they have the insurance co pay for this?”
They don’t. The AFA is blatantly lying about this particular benefit. Unless of course they are referencing the savings account type benefits available to almost anyong that allows for the individual to chose how to spend their pre-tax savings. In that case, then it is because of IRS rules and has nothing to do with Ford (or any corporation’s policy.)
