Topics regarding layoffs at Ford

Can people please share what's happening today?

I've been jumping from one thread to another, trying to piece things together. Can we post location and number of people hit here, if you don't feel comfortable with sharing anything else?

Next round??

Why are people mentioning a second round in June/July? How would that make sense—hitting the same teams again? Why not just do it all at once and start rebuilding morale?

Ford layoff selection criteria

I was part of the layoffs yesterday and I am really confused. I always received good reviews and one of the team’s most experienced engineers. Is anyone familiar with how these layoffs were considered? I cant help but feel it’s personal :( One... — read more 

Cuts continuing today in Ottawa

No one is safe until EOD Wednesday. This is going to be intense. Good luck everyone. Looks like the LL5 who mentioned it will only be all clear after lunch on Wednesday was telling the truth. Everyone is stressed.

Is everything but Ottawa done?

Still no official "it’s over" message, and my manager stayed suspiciously quiet, so I am definitely still worried there might be more coming tomorrow.

Monitoring

How long has ford been monitoring because I heard rumors of this before I ever received a notice but I feel like they only did it last second so now I am wondering what are they really collecting data wise

Was the attachment test for predicting layoffs real?

This morning/last night, rumors were going around here that if you could attach files to emails in Outlook, you were safe, and if you could not, you were probably going to get cut. Just curious how that ended up shaking out. I still had attachment... — read more 

Heavy cuts in Ottawa tomorrow

The focus tomorrow is supposedly folks working out of the Ottawa office. Best of luck everyone, it's going to be a very difficult day with many job cuts and many goodbyes to hardworking colleagues. Try to get some sleep.

More rounds coming in June/July

With the failure of fnv4, more rounds are inevitable and this was intimated by our LL4 this afternoon. Hold on for dear life (HODL) everyone. Good luck.

CVS elected to go early

Some may remember, in 2019, Ford Land did their layoff ahead of everyone else. It is very likely that CVS decided to go ahead of everyone else’s schedule. Unfortunately Tech & Auto will experience a lot of layoffs this year. Tech giant Microsoft is... — read more 

Even more cuts tomorrow

It's not over yet. Tomorrow will be even worse apparently. Ottawa is the focus tomorrow we were told this afternoon. Spooky times.

Day 1 Over. Who knows what's in store for tomorrow

An anxious day today with absolutely no answers or updates. How many people got laid off today? No clue. How many left for tomorrow? No clue. My heart spiked every time I got an email today. Who knows when it's my turn? Feeling so uncertain. Can... — read more 

Our team was decimated

Here's to being expected to do twice as much work from now on and be thankful because "we at least have a job!"

Next round is Product and eventually elsewhere.

Trash products, bloated salaries, some belief that new talent can help win. What a winning formula for success. This company has devolved, and the Ford’s are all just sitting there, I hope the younger ones step up instead of su-king off daddies... — read more 

This has to be just the beginning

If you have a transferable skill, don’t wait. Go. Leave Ford first. If you need a job, look somewhere else. Look how badly Ford treats their employees.

is there anyone from Ottawa yet?

Have there already been any layoffs in Ottawa, or are they only happening in the US for now? Also, is your project part of FNV4?

At least there's still severance

I am really going out on a limb here (not), but the way things are going, in a few years people will be laid off with nothing more than a pat on the back and a hearty "good luck." Severance is on track to become something Ford used to offer. Mark my... — read more 

50+?
