The layoff packet mentioned performance and/or skills being the reason for being laid off. Only 350 were laid off... do you think it was performance based? I got a incon/met rating one year, and good/ok ratings for all of the previous.

Today majority of purchase services were let go. Next they will do their redesign according to their objectives. After that we will downsize by a lot. We have a lot of extra people who were once needed and are no longer needed.

so does that mean all contractors are being let go ?

The executives are literally some of the worst I’ve seen run a company. These are the same idots that thought we can be like Tesla by splitting our EV business from our very profitable F150 gas line up, and then make everyone think Model E is worth... — read more

I turned 65 earlier this year and planned to retire sometime this summer. Suddenly came true w/package as plus. I prefer Ford offering voluntarily package rather forced me out. Wish you (still at Ford) build Ford stronger and Impacted find job soon... — read more 

We lost two of our best people. It just proves that no matter how hard you work, you're not safe. In other words, there's no point in breaking your back for Ford when the outcome is the same as it is for people who barely lift a finger. So I'm... — read more 

The big ones? Is it publicly available? Or no. I’m new to this

Many millions really. I know people think we’re on the precipice of this huge change in the way everything works. I get it - Ford doesn’t want to be left behind. But, I haven’t seen anything that leads me to believe this is going to end well. If... — read more 

Except for the extra work and survivor's guilt and worsened mental health due to stress and strained morale and shattered trust in leadership and...you get the point.

Like actually stupid. I’m younger than most of you all, but I just have to get this off my chest. It just feels like everyone is full of cynicism and missing logic. I feel like I am walking around people that are just pretending to know what they are... — read more

Ended up getting laid off. It was mentioned to return all computers and monitors. Do they really track the monitors and do they really care?

Last time I checked, over 8k under MJ Now only around 7k, seems more than 350

If the bottom 50% are cut and the top 50% are kept across all levels but done very fairly, the company can actually function well. The problem is they will remove the good ones and start hiring again as the remaining ones (friends, family, yes-men... — read more 

Now that CVS had its turn what about us in ADAS and Latitude AI under SO!?

DF was let go for wasting $10B on FNV4, correct?

It would be naive to think the cuts end here.

How are you supposed to "get back out there" and search for a new job when you feel like an abject failure?

It takes a long time to build a reputation. Tragic .

They won't stop until they offshore every single position they can offshore. If you think you're safe and you worked from home at any point, think again. This is the goal.

Used to think Ford was building cars—turns out we were just vibe coding in Figma and naming commits “final_final2_thisOneFixesIt”. The CVS org? It wasn’t Connected Vehicle Software. It was Confused Vibes and Slack. You’d spend half your sprint... — read more

I got the privacy consent notice with single Accept button this morning but no email yet, I checked with 2 other teammates they didn't get anything like that, does it mean am I on the chopping block? I am under SO org.

Did the gang survive?

Will the Cdn govt be offering MAID for those who have been laid off? I'm considering all of my options and that is one of the many on the table

I'm sitting here hoping to receive that email and nothing. Why don't they offer VBOs before layoffs is beyond me.

Our supervisor just confirmed that this isn't the end. This isn't even the start of the end. It's just the beginning. I fear for anyone with a mortgage - it's going to be bad. Job market is ABYSMAL and is flooded with international students willing... — read more 

For those who got canned (like me), what packages did you receive? I was with Ford for 7 years and got very little. Not enough to pay for my mortgage and car lease for the next year :(
