I wish I was told before hand that things were this bad for me , instead of just things seemingly to be okay. Now I have no job/ no income and the job market is not great.
Most performance reviews are this week in every dept.
so be ready for the big layoff starting Monday 9-16-26.
Let go
Today was my last day in Enterprise Technology. I can't say I'm surprised, this position wasn't really right for me and I could see my own performance for what it was. Nothing unfair. I'm just curious if there's a trend going on in other parts of the... — read more
F-150 Guy is Nervous
I saw the F-150 Guy very nervous this morning. So the F-150 Guy said that after the performance reviews are done, the gigantic LYOFz will occur. Good luck.

Voice+ Survey, then lay offs? Has anyone heard anything?
Last year, there was a big push in EVDD to get our Voice+ surveys done early. They were aiming for 100% participation, almost making it feel like a fun competition between orgs. We all want our team to shine with the highest participation so many... — read more

Does the severance months start at the end of the month?
for example if you are given 2 months, would the current month be normal payroll and then the next 2 months would be the payment?
Is your bonus amount viewed under SSIP contribution Bonus?
Hi there, I was following the email that said you can make changes to your bonus contribution as to where it will land cash or 401k and when I went to the site I could see a $$$ amount that I could select for cash or 401k, does that mean that is my... — read more

What more than three decades taught me
I put in thirty six years and walked away at sixty five. That was enough for any person. Since leaving I've stayed as far from corporate anything as I can manage. Meetings, performance reviews, office politics. Don't miss any of it. I'll say this... — read more

Will I get fired if I get inconsistent for year end?

A hollowed-out company
Ford is a shadow of its former self. Sure, maybe a few areas are okay, but overall it's been a decade-long decline. If you're young and have skills, go somewhere that actually values you. Unless leadership completely changes, which won't happen, it's... — read more

Has anyone else noticed how strange people seem at work lately?
I do not remember it feeling like this before. There is a level of fakeness that feels excessive. Conversations that feel transactional. People who can be vindictive, rude, and in some cases honestly cruel. Not openly aggressive, just quietly... — read more

How many people post?
I have a feeling that a few individuals are responsible for most of the content we see on this site. Can anyone guess how many people post regularly? I would estimate it to be around 6 to 10.
When they spin-off Shifty-Co (Transmission Division)
They should make sure that a 14 gear engine is created. The market is asking for it.
So let me ask you this.
I heard most employees will get 50% to 80% of the 130%. Why work hard and do everything you are asked to do and still receive a subpar bonus and a small increase just to get bent over year after year.
Hire and fire continues
As I see hiring I also see forced retirement and cuts for similar roles. Worst thing is they fire you and ban you from rejoining for life! one of the worst way to treat your own ex employees who you called family!!!
Am I the only one who feels like India teams are difficult to work with?
I'm a LL6 in a very tech-heavy area of Ford. Often times, I feel like there are cultural issues where India coworkers don't listen to anybody who isn't above them on a pay grade (i.e. a LL6 won't listen unless instructed by a LL5 or higher). They... — read more
