Though the company failed to meet sales goals for 2007, Ford “met or exceeded” its objectives in every other category, CEO Alan Mullaly explained in a company email.
The bonus is based on improvements in cost performance, quality, automotive cash flow and financial results.
“The board of directors believe it is important to reward employees for delivering significant results and keeping the company on track to become profitable again by 2009,” Mulally’s e-mail said.With the economic crunch Americans have been feeling lately, the bonus must come as a much welcomed surprise.
