What is the engine part shortage?

Hearing reports of layoffs happening yesterday in Chennai offices. Not sire about numbers but it is happening.

F stock: $9.49/share Market cap: $37.22B DASH stock: $202.25/share Market cap: $84.96B DASH's price swings the last couple of days have been more that Ford's stock price! We are worth less than a company with virtually no assets! 🤣

Ford will help them realize their potential, similar to watering a plant and exposing it to sunlight for nourishment. Although, it's probably not a good idea to water an EV and expose it to direct sunlight.

It's about time that Ford started to do some cost cutting. https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2025/02/18/ford-cuts-stock-middle-manager-stock-bonuses/79086437007/

So this must be the big layoff day. PR are all done so…….

Lets be honest with each other; no one really wants to be working here. We are all either checked out or are looking for other jobs. Lets drop the facade and make the most of our careers past Ford.

What do you think the new bonus percentages will be for regular and HTHD GSR’s?

Read this Reuters news article and see how Ford will get half of the LL5s and LL4s to quit: www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/ford-slashes-manager-stock-bonuses-cut-costs-boost-performance-2025-02-18/

Ford needs to hire Elon, to dredge the employee base! Easy to spot employees that are of no value to the company, PR's are not even needed. Just walk around and open your eyes!

Tomorrow 2/19 Is the day for salary firings in my organization. One week after PR’s. 🚫🐂💩

Has there been any news about when layoffs will continue?

Basically, when I was hired in 1995, everyone told me that nobody ever gets laid off from Ford and my job was secure until retirement. Wow. How things have changed.

More lawsuits to follow. How many more judgements can Ford absorb? Ever since Ford was ordered to pay $1.7 billion in punitive damages back in 2022 over an allegation that the roofs present on 1999-2016 Ford Super Duty models aren’t strong enough... — read more 

Just happened late last week. Several GSRs and some LLs. Not sure how many.

How is this sustainable? All these vehicles and no one to buy them? And this is even after MAP was shutdown for several weeks due to overstock! If have to saw that these models are in danger of elimination. Which means the end for MAP.

Very short PR with my LL6. Got 4 met, 1 exceeded, and 1 inconsistent for an overall Met. Joined Ford last year and I don’t really understand when we learn what our bonus will be (I know my target), or what my merit raise. Is it on HCN somewhere? I... — read more 

Remember when that used to be a thing here?

Who knows this may help us. Tesla sales plummet in Europe.

Would be in place by 2-14-2025 so???? Performance reviews were to be completed by 2-14-2025 so it should be soon for the layoffs. Don’t you think?

Adjust factor 0.69 , now at 62% of target. Looking forward to next years continued improved profit sharing formulas for LL6 & below.

PL is an A$$h$$e, he doesn't even come to office. Been 3 years with ford and received inconsistent for the first time, I asked if I’m on PIP, he said no. And said to do more work? Lol! We’re already over a 50hr week here! I wish if there a way to... — read more

Didn't receive a single negative feedback. Was a top achiever last year. Even promised a promotion this year.

As far as I can tell, it's made up of people who bounce between SoCal EV startups as when as they go out of business.
