Application in Dearborn. That's the problem. The TEAMS need to co-located to deliver a complex solution. Doug is a smart guy, but we need people together seeing the problems first hand. Writing EPICS and JIRAS will only get you so far...

A thread to talk about layoffs. I can’t say I’m surprised. It’s been a sh-t show. Comment if you have been affected. Lots of people under Shareef are being sla-ghtered. It’s a massacre.

They will threaten, blackmail, coerce you. And they will make things up and paint a bad picture of you. Defamation of character all the way. They are trained in gaslighting and making you feel you have no rights or options and they will serve you... — read more 

Post safe info as you can and as the plan is rolled out.

Who fires them?

If I have not received a notice today does that mean I made it out or will they also be doing layoffs tomorrow. I'm thinking they said two so people can return equipment tomorrow

Sorry if that sounds d-mb, I’m just so stressed right now my blood pressure is through the roof. I’m trying to make sense of everything.

They don't send the email to people who actually want it. These mo--ns do everything wrong.

Use Gmail, you can just add the files to emails and save as draft. Then you'll be able to open them and download on another machine. Once they inform you within minutes your PC will be locked and you'll not be able to get back into it.

Model e will never ever succeed. They have milked the company enough. Enough is enough.

Does anyone know if this has happened in the past, where they make us work from home and then lay off? One of my friend just got a call from his contractor about his lay off. What is the forecast? How many layoffs?

You guys need to chill. Clearly you don't know what Model e all encompasses. You probably came in on the last hiring spree. Go back to the basics. Learn how the company works, how the orgs function. And then maybe you can answer your own question... — read more 

Would the airbag deploy on impact? Yes or No?

Does anyone know how much will be the reduction? Rumors are 50-70% in some verticals

We got the email while pretty much everyone was either leaving or gone, so I couldn’t ask lol. My buddy doesn’t seem to have gotten the email but they’re a different department and job site. Also why’d the email say CVS? I thought we were SES now... — read more 

Signed, The Original and Real "It's coming...." guy

Could it be those who received the emails are safe while those who did are getting layedoff

I wish us all the best of luck.

Good luck for the next two days !!!

10 Billy. What exactly was spent? I’m talking granularly line by line. It doesn’t add up to me with less than a thousand employees. I’m aware human capital is not all, but I cannot wrap my head around it. Anyone want to help? — read more 

I’m talking peer to peer. Interpersonally from someone with a higher level of authority perhaps in the know. Situations where one might feign ignorance to their benefit and your detriment. Have you ever seen politics first hand? I’m not talking... — read more 

There are no layoffs. Ford is going through cleaning house process and fire all poor performers.

It’s May 12th and I have not heard of any layoffs. I keep hearing about something is coming but nothing happens

Does anyone ever think about what Ford could have bought with their billion dollars instead of a failed E/E architecture? How many EV and ADAS startups have come and gone in the last few years that might have had some IP that could have formed the... — read more

I recently heard from a LL3 that layoffs will hit Monday and will most likely be purchase service employees and people on FNV4. Has anyone heard different

CL’s org is being wiped off? Also what’s going on with HS (fnv4 arch). He disappeared from teams??

My LL# leader told me that his complete team is going to be layoff in next 10-15 days. He adviced me to just use these 2 weeks to get a offer and jump it before bloodbath happens. You have only two options : Jump before flood comes to your... — read more

I keep hearing about an AI tool that’s being developed to help D&Rs and FSEs, but it sounds like something that could lead to layoffs because they’ll expect one engineer to do more work.

Noticed system monitoring disclosure they wanted us to accept today..sounds suspect
