RTO sabotaged by People Leaders
LL5 and higher are staying in office and engaged in office all day. However, LL6s are closest leadership level that influences GSR staff. LL6s prefer to stay home and do not like RTO, so they come to office for badge swipes, attend a selected... — read more

Does anyone remember March 13 2020? The day the world changed. The same day millions of people around the world were sent home.
RTO should be called RTC. Return from Covid.
Everything bad that comes with RTO shouldn’t surprise you
It’s by design. More control, less communication, insane workloads, unrealistic expectations, and requirements few can actually meet. And it will escalate. Because RTO isn’t here to make Ford a leading company. It’s not here to retain talent, boost... — read more

Limit on Vacation Days Now
Ok. Since you have to meet 3 days on site presence per week and 4 days starting sept 1st mandatory....that means going forward all employees can only take one vacation day per week (or 1 day sick) starting next month. If you take even 2 vacation... — read more

Who was the contact from the Free Press interested?
Wasn't there a contact from the Free Press news that was interested in the Ford cutbacks a few years ago? Maybe we all need to send some info/pics over to get local news coverage.
I am able to do my work in 5 hours a week; considering getting 2nd job
Is this allowed? Any good resources for doing this? I don't really do much and quite frankly im quite checked out. This place was the worst career decision for me; I will have to work doubly as hard at my next job to get myself out of this... — read more
Second email threat about RTO

RTO
Anyone get an Accommodation Approved yet?
Just before Labor Day!!!
Sorry
Rotunda Center was a madhouse today
Every desk/seat was taken. People were parking in the driveway and even on the sidewalk. I was lucky enough to get a desk with a broken monitor. It was crazy.
ROT Hypocrisy
An immediate mandate to RTO 3 days a week was handed down in ET today, despite recent assurances that we would remain 1 day a week in-office until Sept 1st, and then go to 4 days a week. Worst part? Entire teams (dozens of LOCAL people) under a... — read more
Has anyone ever “rage quit?”
If so, tell me your story.
I get all my work done in 30 hours max
The rest of the time? I’m just lazing around. Is it wrong not to look for more work when I have zero plans to stay here long-term? I don’t think so. Ford hasn’t shown any loyalty to employees, so why should I show any in return? Why bother?

So what is this about Thursday 08-08-25 being the layoff day.
And Friday 08-09-25. I thought it was going to be Monday 08-11-25?
Pension or lump sum
Not the place to ask, but hoping to get some that have retired recently. With Ford’s future in doubt, it makes sense to go with the lump sum, but then the money will have to go into the market which you cannot trust. I fell like I’m in lose-lose... — read more

Farley: And if we lose this, we do not have a future of Ford.
