Greetings all, I am a software developer (ADAS) who was let go on Monday 8/22/22. While I am still angry at Ford about this for a variety of reasons beyond the scope of this post, I DO need income (only will get 1 measly month severance if I... — read more 

Enough of the “changing business climate” corporate smoke and mirrors BS. The job market is ridiculous right now and the reasons that they’re giving us for the layoffs don’t make sense. Companies are bending over backwards to find talent and we’re... — read more 

I'm assuming that the survivors will be overwhelmed with work now more than ever?

Goodbye Ford. I will miss some dear people that I worked with. There were good and bad moments here, but I don't want to despair for too long. Who intends to try finding a job in other industries?

Through an existing employee, I heard Farley made mention in a video yesterday that they may be extending leases and/or making the process easier to purchase vehicles. Has anyone heard about this? Added to the job loss is the imminent loss of... — read more 

Bitterness in me starts growing, but I try to divert my thoughts to looking for a new job. Some of my colleagues took the layoff very personally because they had invested their best in this company for years. Mix of emotions is to be expected, but... — read more 

Executive Leaders keep emphasizing we Have to cut cost and become more efficient and that is their message for the layoffs. I don’t think anyone will dispute the fact that layoffs were needed, but who was let go and how they handled the situation is... — read more 

Our leadership said the that layoff is 98% complete.

They must have heard what's been happening and now they know some of them are the only ones who are left to be laid off. Just imagine the stress and anxiety they'll be feeling before they find out once they return. Talk about a ruined vacation for... — read more 

For those of you over 40 and who still haven't signed but are planning to review with a lawyer, I want to share this. The "ADEA Group Information Notification - SIRP" itemizes those released/retained by age, SG, and classification. I'm planning... — read more 

Hau mentioned in his all hands meeting this morning (Aug. 25) that 8000 layoffs by media is pure speculation. This round of layoffs is done for 95-98% of people. The remaining are only people absent or on vacation. They will be notified once they... — read more 

I know several people who are disappointed they were not impacted by layoffs. Offering voluntary buyouts would have been a great way to fulfill their wish and save jobs for some of the people who are gone but wanted to stay. I don't understand why it... — read more 

LL3 cut our two senior engineers on Tuesday. Today our LL6 announced that two contractors would be starting on Monday to do the work the senior engineers were doing. We have 8 GSRs twiddling their thumbs for the past 5 years while the senior... — read more 

I know there won't be any more cuts for now but I am still unable to relax. I hoped I'd finally get a proper night's sleep but I was very much wrong about that. I guess the stress of not just the past three days but the past month or so will not be... — read more 

This particular round is done except for people who were on vacation/ ooo. Then they will probably see how many leave through attrition for the remainder of the year. Then the next round early-to-mid next year to get the remainder. With the... — read more 

After all this the company can be lucky or unlucky to stay in business. Why are you are fretting over this and spitting hate. If you are talented and have the right skills or at least estimated the market and updated your skills will get a better... — read more 

Does anyone know if there were layoffs outside of Detroit? Chicago, KC, etc?

BlueOval City not impacted by Ford layoffs

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack quality issues on fire that were bright as magnesium on the Expedition ... I watched A Pillars glitter in the dark near the Final Inspection line. All those moments will be lost in my career... — read more 

Imagine being on that project. Did any of them get cut?

Please pass the word to other Ford employees.

I know several people who are not at all unhappy about being laid off. Moreover, they even hoped for it and longed for the package -- How many more like that are among those affected?

Just touching base with all you strangers who are in the same boat as I am. How are you holding up? Wanna tell your story? I was let go on Monday. I didn't see it coming. I was on the most profitable ICE program beginning six months ago and before... — read more 

BARCELONA, Aug 24 (Reuters) - Ford said on Wednesday it is delaying its production investments in Spain, citing a "revised outlook for Europe" but said it remained committed to its plant in Valencia, where it announced plans in June to produce... — read more 

I just found out that our entire Finance Department was let go and their responsibilities were transferred to India, which is about 10 hours ahead of us. So now, they have to be brought up to speed and any approval for funding just got... — read more 

There shouldn't be any cuts in the next two days? It was said that everything will be done Monday through Wednesday, so the next two days should be OK, right?

The auto market is generally shifting to EV over ICE. I just wonder how many years it will take Ford to complete the transition and become very EV-centric?

Trying to figure out the total impact of the layoff

How can we trust a guy who barely knows anything about tech to be our leader? Not to mention his leadership team is basically his pals and bois from tesla and apple. Get out when you can, because he and his minions are leading model e to a doom.

What's the point of this? This has never been a part of layoffs before, as far as I can tell. I know a few folks who were laid off years ago but later returned in different roles. What's changed that suddenly they have to put a stipulation that... — read more 

More Layoffs moving forward. This is not a one time thing is what he said. Take those words & run people before the axe falls on you & destroys your motivation.

I found the video addressing the current actions to be abhorrent. It's been an incredibly hard week for all of us. Now isn't the time to put all this nonsense spin on what ford is doing in a video addressing employees who have survived a week of... — read more 

I survived 7 total cuts at Ford before SIRP. I had a bad feeling I wouldn't survive this one. I was right. Thank God I saw the writing on the wall and started looking a few months ago.

There have been cuts each year from 2019 through 2022. Ford is not done! $3B more in cuts by end of 2023, remember?! Get out, get out. They are cutting their knowledge, talent and loyalty in favor of quiet quitters and those with NO loyalty to... — read more 

The way layoffs are managed here is terrible. They literally did not give the people who got laid off time to say goodbye to their colleagues. I loved working here, but in any case, even if I survive, I will give myself a deadline to leave here as... — read more 

I know there will be a ton of people opting to retire this year based on interest rates - but some of us aren't eligible - we can still hope - or can't we??

Our team was hit on Monday. We lost a couple of great people and we can definitely feel their absence. All of us feel awful for them. I think now I know what they mean when they talk about survivor's guilt concerning layoffs. It's going to take some... — read more
