Isn’t it the time?

I have this from very reliable sources that the carnage will start on 8-22 and go on through the week. Also, there is an all-hands private meeting scheduled on certain E-dept people on 8-30 morning. I think I am on the chopping block.

It's become difficult to remain professional and focused even while doing minimal amount of work. Somehow it seems to me that I was less anxious during the cuts in 2008. These layoffs will have a terrible effect on morale. Even those who survive... — read more

So many posts from people who are destroying their health by stressing over layoffs 24/7. You shouldn't be doing that to yourself. There are plenty of things you can do to prepare in case your name is on the list. That's where I've been pouring my... — read more 

Are they targeting the 30-35 year people? Any word on retirement incentives for these people?

Make sure you learning something because I was not as I was given only overflow supporting tasks.Nothing too technical. Your market value is your skill set. Trust me this is not the final cut.

Rules for thee but not for me! -JF Last month, Ford Motor Company recalled select 2020-2022 Ford Escape, Lincoln Corsair, and 2022 Ford Maverick hybrid and plug-in hybrid models after 23 of those vehicles caught fire across the globe. The automaker... — read more 

How can you keep working while you know there is an impending layoff coming up?

LL4 will be making the calls. No question that it will be on Monday. If you have a gut feeling it will be you, it will probably be you.

YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF WHAT YOU DO

I am so stressed out every day. I wish the cuts would just proceed and be done asap. What is taking so long?

Guys a guy “driving a F 150 :)” told me that Layoffs are happening starting week of 26th through Labor Day Good luck to you all!

How long do they plan on keeping us guessing? This is taking much longer than I expected and it's stressing me out. I can't afford to lose my job right now and having that prospect hanging over my head all the time is affecting my mental health. Why... — read more 

Management wants us all back in the office. They tore our buildings apart and threw out all our office supplies. All the employees came in and took their chairs and monitors. It will be next year before it all gets sorted out. In all this... — read more 

It's one thing to make an educated guess as to what's happening and another thing entirely to post things that you know aren't true. If trolling a layoff board is your idea of fun, it's time to move out of your mom's basement.

I've been trying for a little longer than three months without any success and it makes me very frustrated. If the situation on the job market continues to get worse, it will not be good at all.

Uncertainty and the general atmosphere only accelerated the departure of some of the best employees. This is what best describes the culture as it is now at Ford. What's worse, managers don't seem to care. How many of your colleagues have left... — read more

Source seemed pretty reliable and he told me it was 40+ people who got let go. He also stated that he heard they are letting people go through WebEx meetings. Take it for what it's worth.

As of this morning, the policy is back on life@ford. It is unchanged compared with what was removed a month or so ago. 20+ years = 9 months severance pay

Most of my coworkers are already trying to find alternatives they could jump to immediately if they're laid off but all I can think about is taking at least a month off to relax and de-stress. Working here has been taxing on my health and I would... — read more

If there is a chance, it still has to happen this month, in August or it will be getting too late.

We have heard tomorrow (wed), this thurs or this Friday. We've heard next week, Sept and Oct. Which is it?

Hearing events are planned for next week. Pulled head from whenever they were going to do them. New NDAs sent this week. No specifics on who or where.

It is fascinating how the management expects us to meet their ever increasing deadline expectations in such a tense, fear-based atmosphere. Everything has become more urgent than ever. It just doesn't work. It wouldn't surprise me if all this... — read more 

I think Ford lost sight that hard work and smart engineering would fix quality. They were too focused on the new campus and train station and what kind of grass and shrubs to plant. Quality is not fixed by paying for customer repairs. The feedback... — read more
