I’ve written before about this, but it’s very unlikely that Ford (the OEM/manufacturer) has this many auto technicians (people that perform car repairs using existing tooling and documentation).
Most likely, these positions are for Mechanical Engineers or similar. These would be people doing R&D, analyzing failure trends, etc. They would not be the ones working in the service department of your local Ford dealership, because those people are employees of the dealership and not Ford.
Well the article clearly states Ford is complaining that he cannot fill 5,000 mechanic positions so I figured he’s talking about mechanics, especially since he’s been in the news for the last 3+ months crying about these high paying tech positions that don’t exist LOL. The ad may say u can make 100j a year but that’s only possible if you make more than 40 hours a week on flat rate, so these job ads are misleading. Sure if you get nothing but gravy work because your buddies with the service advisor you can make that money, but fuck up with the shop politics or get a rash of shit jobs and a slow month and your not making what they advertise.
