Our leaders are stuck in the past. Need new thinking. For example: mandate five days a week back to the office. If you want to do four, you lose $10,000 a year in salary, you want do three? You lose another 10. Company could save money and get... — read more

Wouldn't computer activity be a better metric than badge swipes?

Its coming....

Friend on Ford security team told me they're going to start monitoring cameras for early exits and people swiping multiple badges

Have it on good authority that the 1400+ that those receiving emails about badge swipes are going to be closely monitored for compliance well before Sept 1st. We've entered a new era

Got a check that basically says gross pay for 80 hrs unused vacation time and direct deposit after tax and fees deduction. In my understanding, this should be essentially half months of my original salary (80hrs), but the gross pay was... — read more

Who was the id--t that decided to set up an automated email system threatening employees with disciplinary action based solely on average badge swipes per week? And not take the time to check in with LL5s and LL6s, or even tell us before this morning... — read more

Got this in good authority from a disgruntled LL3. He's afraid he'll lose many of his best people over this RTO. In 2027, violaters will be rated lower and be denied bonus and raises. You've been warned

The first quick wave was just the obvious low hanging fruit. There are way too many people remaining after the "project" was shelved. The last few weeks have been busy planning the cuts and oh baby are they ever coming. Best of luck to you all. — read more

Nothing more, nothing less. As others have already pointed out, a full 5-day mandate will probably soon follow. Across the corporate world, RTO has become a relatively cheap and efficient way to reduce headcount without going through formal layoffs... — read more

Excel and you become indispensable in your current role and stuck forever. Coast and you get promoted. Now I understand why middle management's so mediocre.

They just hired a new group even though our call volume has dropped. But, guess if they get rid of a lot of the older employees then they will need them. They are still hiring Mexico CSRs too.

Right in time for the holiday! So many people are going to come back from the 4th to no job. Reductions everwhere, 5-10% Source: my a$$ Figured we get the routine troll post out of the way early this week

Has anyone who was part of the 5/13 layoffs landed something new? I haven’t found anything yet and haven’t had any interviews. Interested in hearing how others are doing.
