Ford and Jim Farley just Fu---d Everyone
Layoffs today r brutal - the bullsh-t of new skills and lack of transparency will hopefully haunt Bill Ford for a long time - they cleaned house - Doug Field has been hiring his folks over from Tesla and Apple - if you were older and werent part of... — read more
Inactive Emails
I just did a reply all to one of the mass emails. I didn’t hit send but it shows all the emails that are no longer active. Man, we lost a lot of talented people in my org
This is age discrimination
Plain and simple.
Feelings after getting cut?
I still cannot accept the idea that staying here would only mean prolonging the agony - that's no consolation at all. I am going through some of the worst moments in my career. I thought that I would be able to make it to retirement and leave with... — read more
Think it may be you - save your personal folders
Cuts happen and if it’s you, don’t expect time to transition in process projects or even securing anything from your personal folders. You will be de-activated from the system quickly. If you have pictures, notes from colleagues, or anything of... — read more
Time to leave Michigan
Part of the ford layoffs. Ev’s need less workers plus Tesla Rivian competition. Not sure how this ends time to so south away from the auto industry?
If you were laid off were you vaccinated or unvaccinated? (religious exemption)
Wondering if the makeup of layoffs is at all correlated to this. It would seem that the most compliant employees took the vaccine so they may have had that as a factor.
I don't get it
I thought the point was to lay off people from other areas to strengthen model E, but I know for a fact that model E is also getting hit. What's the point of all of this, then?
Danlaw & Rapita are hiring !!!

GDI&A
Anyone know about layoffs in GDI&A?
Were these cuts inevitable?
I believe that, if anything, the scope of cuts could have been smaller.
What time will the cuts end today?
Hard to concentrate while looking over your back (or in this case, keeping an eye on your IM). I assume people will be contacted until 5pm? Good luck to all
Agency and not laid off yet
In manufacturing and no phone calls yet. Desk next to me was occupied this morning and is empty now.
Only ADVANCED DRIVER ASSIST (ADAS) is safe
and most of model E is safe.
Food for thought
Farley made $22.81 million last year. That equates to about 253 people that wouldn't have had to be shown the door even at a pretty generous $90k salary for each of those 253. White collar workers need a union, and no, not a garbage corrupt union... — read more
PD
Anyone know how PD is doing? Many laid off?
FCG’s
Any word on FCG’s? I’m with credit in my second rotation.
Executive terminations?
If Ford is terminating 6% of North American salary jobs, shouldn’t 6% of our 102, count them, 102, executives be eliminated as well? Why is so much management necessary for fewer employees? Losing six or seven of them would save many $... — read more
They cut the best people
For the first time I think that slackers are smart people. What did my colleague get for subordinating his life to this company that got rid off him just like that? Ford seems to be "transforming" into a company where the best employees are no... — read more
Ford let agency go as well
I did not get a chance to say goodbye to the people I work with during the year. My contract is asking to return equipment to them versus the Ford IT center. Is that a normal request. To those who worked with me in OTA, it was pleasure to work with... — read more
Involuntary vs Voluntary
It is sad and counterproductive to team morale and productivity to have done this layoff as an involuntary process. The company says that a core tenet is to Care for Others. Yet they choose to go the involuntary route. Yes, voluntary separations... — read more
Let go this morning
I work in HMI. We handle both ICE and EV. Never had a bad review. Even got extra bonus from work I did on a program last year. With company since 2011. My boss’s boss had 1:1 with me scheduled this morning. I already knew after seeing Farley note. ... — read more
Kumar Just cancelled Building Ford Blue Meeting (Aug. 23)
Kumar just cancelled tomorrow's Building Ford Blue Meeting. I guessed he is afraid of getting too many questions on the layoffs.
Has anyone gotten meeting notices for this afternoon?
Looks like everyone is getting their notices in morning. Do they get scheduled ahead of time? Or right at meeting time?
Even people who put in their retirement papers are getting cut
Two of my buddies already had filed retirement paperwork. One for October and one for November. They were retiring to get their lump sum before the rate adjustments. Both were let go today. Maybe Ford thought they would change their mind about... — read more
It doesn't seem to be slowing down
Could it be they're planning to do all 3k notifications today?

Change of responsibilities
I am very angry and frustrated with everything that is happening. The people they decided to cut were excellent employees and it's a disaster that they are gone. I think that these cuts will be very bad for the company and I hope that everyone... — read more
This is how they ruin long weekend!!
Two of my Agency coworkers 10 years in crash and safety were laid off just an hour ago.They were promised direct hire positions. I will have to move on. This company is not worth of employee loyalty. This is a place for slackers, loafers and... — read more

Got a call from my agency this morning notifying the contract with Ford was terminated. 8 years of working for the company and winning awards... Only to have come to this day. 7 ppl from my other team have also been let go. Let's hope we all come out... — read more
Advanced Notifications
Farley said that they would let people know the plans first. Well, an email from Bill came out at 6:30am today stating that there would be cuts this week. I got my phone call at 8:04am. You can't believe anything they say.
Michigan will have the cheapest home prices in the US soon
