What is the purpose of these di-kheads when they do not respond to any of the technical questions. 2 weeks without a response is a joke and tbh these clowns should be shown the door

My past LL6 is on H1B and all his favorite fellow H1Bs are saved and left got sacked in recent layoffs. And he happened to pull his wife on H4 visa few years back and she’s now a LL6!! I’m sure there are same stories everywhere!!! I’m sure this post... — read more 

Why are LL5, LL6, Supervision not getting fired? To many corrupt chiefs not enough Indians.

Ford is not an American company. Why buy from this corrupt company. Why?

He was able to transform a high end purse into it's base elements, by employing a butane torch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tstwUKFv2qY

Was it the dancing skill mentioned? Or the two people competing to be Cannis’ replacement? How is Frick able to manage Pro as a part time job? Apparently Pro doesn’t need its own CEO.

Been here for 6 pls years and got 3 months severance What did you guys get ? Let’s compare

Rather than nurture its best and brightest, Ford “selectively prunes” them! Why would a company do this? Two dark motivations: Jealousy from within the ranks. Cost/benefit calculations from above. A toxic mix of professional jealousy and... — read more 

Ford received huge incentive packages from state and local governments for new investments (factories, battery plants, etc.). A prominent example is Ford’s plan to build an EV battery plant in Marshall, Michigan. In 2022, Michigan Gov. Gretchen... — read more 

I would say mine is Global 8D. It was the first one I completed. G8D is one of the foundations of what we do at Ford. I know asking about your favorite FTEP is a bit like asking which one is your favorite child.

If you're young and you’ve got options, use them. Ford has changed. It isn’t magically going to turn into some golden opportunity down the road. I’ve been around long enough to see how this story ends, and it’s not with promotions or happy endings... — read more 

Today’s two sessions were… enlightening, if one’s goal was to witness the ongoing unraveling of coherent leadership. The morning session, led by two executives, offered a masterclass in saying absolutely nothing with great conviction. Confidence in... — read more 

https://fordauthority.com/2025/05/new-round-of-ford-layoffs-rumored-this-week-in-engineering/ Ford has too much fat, the company needs to be leaner. Loosing $1 billion per Quarter is unacceptable.

I returned back from my vacation today and the LL5 scheduled a meeting last night for this morning at 7:30 am. I knew something was not right because its rare that a LL5 would schedule a meeting and it was non-forwardable. Does anybody know if... — read more 

I was canned in 2022. At that time I dont think I had ever seen the title 'associate director'. Now I've seen, on LinkedIn, two former colleagues recently promoted into roles with that title. I'd guess it's an LL5~4-ish rank. It looks like Ford has... — read more 

Can we really have a thread for historical purposes of times where HR and Speak Up acted, but not the an ethical way? Also, who do they report to or coordinate with? Who gives the green light and certain aspects. For speak up, are the stakeholders... — read more 

I know it might be a little tricky because we're not exactly Ford but there's no page here or anywhere for percepta and we are feeling all the changes but we have to suffer through so much less transparency. When I stumbled across this, suddenly... — read more 

Is it paid every 2 weeks, 1 week, lump sum?

I was laid off this morning. I thought it was over last week so it was a total shock. Hopefully everyone lands on their feet but this really hurts.

About car payments, mortgages, cottage rentals, movie passes, netflix subscriptions, etc.? how will we eat and live?

Anyone else applying for jobs while working? I am literally working in fear and pain whilst applying for external jobs. I am worried that the bottom will fall out and we will be left with nothing to spare. Jobs are difficult to find these days in... — read more 

There is no end. Every week more jobs are being axed and employees sent home. Our LL5 was disappointed and this morning let us know that it will continue into the "foreseeable future".

Major layoffs continuing this week due to the failure of FNV4. Good luck everyone.

I am mentally checked out and don’t really want to be here; there is no future here, they cannot invest in their own people and this is a slow death to bankruptcy or career stagnation Most people here just punch the clock. Zero ambition. Zero... — read more 

Tech takes screenshots of what is going on with your computer. The AI alarm systems alert them for live watching if needed. Ford may be slow or behind the times with some things like their vehicles but not with how they watch you. A lot of live... — read more 

Was one of the impacted guys last week. I just need some documents like paystubs from last few months. How do I contact ford back?

My LL4 confirmed restructuring and layoffs are being planned, no real insight as to who, how many, and when. If I had to guess it’s going to be product design ET PD IS product support that fail Farley changed his tune about the... — read more 

A grand entrance means nothing if the room still feels empty. Respect isn’t shown by how you arrive, but how you behave once you’re there. An automotive company is not just studied for their car, but its driver. You’re studied for intent. Whatever... — read more 

Is keyboard/mouse interaction a component in measuring employee productivity? Is this a factor in layoffs?

Why are people mentioning more layoffs in May? Aren't we done for now?

Getting a job at 55 is difficult. I am not sure if $3M would be sufficient for 2 people (husband and wife) if you retire at 55. Everything is so expensive these days. Is/Was anyone in a similar situation and what did you decide? I am talking to a... — read more 

In one of the last Town Hall Meetings it was said that all of the smart redesign, restructuring , changes, etc would be completed by June 1, 2025.

There are too many stats, AI watching and too many alarms to even get up when you are not supposed to. And if you are in a certain call mode too long they I’m you to make sure you are ther and to see if there is an issue. So I do not know what kind... — read more 

I like this strategy. Let's start this strategy and see if anyone still wants to work from home. If you still want to work from home after 8 weeks of performance evaluation, then you are laid off if your performance degraded.

Ford just rolled out mandatory badge swipe tracking to enforce the 3-day in-office rule. This isn’t about productivity, it’s about trimming the fat. Word is, this data will be used to identify and target remote holdouts in the next round of layoffs... — read more 

This is the word out there but find it hard to believe if the cuts were due to “lack of skills”. Please comment only if you know an LL6 that trusts you or if you know an HR person.

I recently stopped by some dealerships to check out some midsize SUVs. As I looked at Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, Honda, GM, Ford, the vehicles from Ford is so outdated and expensive. Kia and Hyundai are top on my list with quality, performance, pricing... — read more
