...postponed until Monday. So the beat down will continue.

A lot of people will be applying for new jobs and there are a lot of as-----s out there who'll try to take advantage of them. Please be careful. In case a job offer sounds too good to be true, it most likely is. I know most of you wouldn't fall for... — read more 

Is there any way to determine how many were laid off so far? It's sad how even now that layoffs have started there's still so little transparency from the management. No, one email in a situation like this that only gives the general info is not... — read more 

Some of the previous actions were settle in favor of the dismissed employees. Ford may or may not have learned from that situation. There are a lot of parallels with what happened this week, especially for people just short of the retirement... — read more 

We didn't. Does that mean there is a chance we'll be hit again even though we already lost a bunch of people in the last two days? I'm hoping this is just a case of some managers being more compassionate than others and not an indicator that tomorrow... — read more 

Life has a way of offering opportunities when you least expect it. In fact it's kind of how we've done extremely well in life, by jumping on opportunities when they present themselves - and often never finding them when we seek them out. As a... — read more 

Will Ford be around in 2030? And how big or small of a company? Will they do commercial vehicles only? or they will make cars too? Why the quality of Ford vehicles is so bad? Why so so many recalls? Is it management, staff quality or process ? ... — read more 

What’s it like in Regent Court and the Regions?

Just a few words, “we lost employees and A & B. They were good resources”, and back to work like nothing happened. So we’re supposed to pretend like we don’t care? Your team morale is not a matter to you? You are taking these values to your home and... — read more 

Do you know if both Global ID and GPID are required fields on this form?

Which departments were untouched?

Have there been any actual plant operations cuts that anyone knows of? Are these still coming?

That's right, RTO is coming. As they continue to cut heads, they will get down to a number where there will be plenty of office space. And then it will be "get your butts into the office at least 3 days a week". Or you're next. All you have to do is... — read more 

I emailed a few former colleagues to see if they were still working. Both kicked back an I am out of the office with return dates. Were they let go?

Why do I think that Tesla is not the least bit worried about the decision of our leadership to close the sales gap with them?

Why are some people that are already in the system as retiring this year getting walked out. One example is retiring September 1 but walked out this week. Why would this person get 9 months severance as a bonus if already leaving. Only thing I can... — read more

To the fearmongers, I hope you're ashamed of yourselves. To the rest, I hope this will be enough proof that layoffs are done for now and you don't have to spend the entire week unnecessarily stressing over it. There will be more layoffs, but I highly... — read more 

... and they do not care about you, Ford, the community. Frat buddies care about their bonuses and they are focused on finding the shortest path to riches. Remember that. That's why you got laid off, they need that $$$ for themselves. Now watch all... — read more 

With all of this hoopla, unstability, mgmt mistakes, etc. Most people have options.

For the people lamenting that they can't go back to Ford after being let go: Why would you want to? And, for that matter, why would you EVER consider purchasing a Ford product in the future? I was let go as a contract employee in Dec of '20 with a... — read more 

Part of the SIRP (salaried involuntary reduction program) includes a section that states that we can never be employed by Ford again. Any thoughts regarding why that caveat is in there? I'm assuming it's some protection for the company but I'm not... — read more

I wish someone here would tell me that they had a great experience on the job market, because I hear from some colleagues that the situation on the job market is not at all ideal and that some are already thinking about changing the industry.

So, just now received the below in an email from a recruiter. Interesting they are hiring for a position they have laid off. =================================== I have a job opportunity on W2 with our direct client Ford Motors"and its a remote... — read more 

From what I see, a 30min private meeting = you're cut. But what does the 15min private meeting mean? Anyone? Is it a re-assignment or a cut as well?

I have been with Ford for 30+ years. Years ago, nepotism and "the old boys club" resulted in unqualified people being hired or promoted. Without question, the process was most unfair to diversity candidates. Lately, though, Ford has begun forcing... — read more 

The company is hiring at the same time, although I think it will be more and more difficult to find the needed employees. Ford may seem to be changing, but I doubt that the old philosophy of this company will change any time soon. My advice to new... — read more 

Has there been layoffs today? If so, what department?

Everything happened too quickly and seems like totally at random to even try to grasp how many were kicked. I know of at least 35+ just in my scope of contacts who are gone just from hearing about it from others.

I think it will be quite unusual for me to work for a smaller business after working at Ford for many years. Some friends do not support me in this, but I still think that it could be even better for me and for many of us who lost our jobs here... — read more 

What is the use of being bitter or holding grudge or hate? Someone was lucky and didn’t get cut. Let him be a slacker or bootlicker. Those are his/here’s traits. Would you ask the same question to a politician? It’s just a challenge in your and you... — read more 

Ford and google are getting along fine. Google provides the analytics to remove as many GRP employees as possible allowing Ford to avoid age discrimination lawsuits. As a partner, google is protecting their investment by censoring coverage.

I think the impact will be huge.

I got used to it. Everything else, including memories, will be returned or discarded.

Can you clean up the laptop from your personal file if any?

Carcar called them out by name in the last TH. His attitude was "brackets? brackets? We don't need no stinkin brackets!" I'm guessing brackets department is toast.

I was wondering if I got fired then would I get some months of salary or so? Or just nothing? Thanks.
