    While at work you are representing the company and have to act accordingly. Aside from any personal feelings about what he said, what he did is really unprofessional and could cause reputational damage to the company.

    I agree with what he said but yelling that at work during a visit is just not a great idea.

      That dude was representing his union not Ford Motor Company.

      Just because some company says “you are representing FORD” … the CEO of Ford doesn’t drive a Ford … is he get a pass because he is rich ?

      You don’t represent a company. You represent yourself.

        An employee on the work clock? Of course he is representing the company. If I see someone and they have a uniform then they are representing their company. They might be representing themself as well (personal reputation) but they are also representing their employer and their actions reflect on the company.

        I think Trump is a piece of shit but you are in the wrong in this regard.

          I agree with you, though I think in this case being unprofessional is warranted and worth it, but I totally understand suspension.

      This is not like representing the company at a picnic or charity event. This is PR for the aspiring fascist dictator, who is leaving us with a legacy of a soon to be supreme leaders fixing elections and ruling in a reign of terror scapegoating others for problems. Also one that fucked children with epstein and let himself get caught on tape doing it so now a foreign intelligence agency (israel,) has proof that would ruin him making him at their disposal. Also a lifelong blackmailer himself, such an enigma, a child fucking blackmailing enigma.

      Fuck the company and their stroking off the guy betraying the country that allowed ford to become great. They are fools to trust the party, and will be destroyed by them, because they and their ilk were trying to prevent a little reform to restore the glory of the republic to the post war years.

        I’m all for the sentiment, I just tried to explain what sort of stance the company is working from and why being suspended or fired wouldn’t be surprising.
